Let me just say, you are the best at giving reviews on security stuff and other things! We have a ring security system and you convinced us to get it! Thanks dude!
We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.
I recently installed this in our home and love it. I also installed Homebridge on a raspberry pi which added HomeKit support to Ring and it works great. Also added a Kwikset 888 keypad deadbolt and it is oddly satisfying to unlock your door with a pin and have it turn your alarm off also
@@Carlocarlopr I got the prime deal too. Ring Alarm 8 pcs (base station, key pad, range extender,1 motion detector and 4 sensors) plus Echo show 5 $165
I just bought this system the other day with a couple of add-ones. Going to install it next week (pray I don't get burgled this week!!) I'm very happy with the purchase and this review has just confirmed my gut feelings with the system for me. Great video, thank you very much.
Thanks! This is very helpful. I watched half a dozen of your reviews this morning. You have made my decision much easier. There are so many choices, it has taken me months to decide. Today I am ordering a Ring set and some outdoor cameras and a doorbell.
Excellent review! Very thorough and professional ... perhaps you can tell me if the Ring Monitoring Service is based totally within the U.S.? That and their Customer Service being in the U.S. is essential in my mind.
Your Ring Security review is excellent. You presentation was clear, through and easily understood. You are an excellent communicator and your video editing is also excellent. Thumbs up and subscribed. Thanks again for the work.
Thank you for the great review. I’m hoping that you can answer a few questions about the system. So I’m looking to use this for a family vacation home, because of that I have a couple of questions. 1- What is the limit for the number of shared access PINs that you can have? 2- what flexibility do you have on temporary PINs (ex. Time frames, etc.) 3- with the batteries in the sensors, are you notified through the app when they get low, or do the sensor just stop working? 4- how many people can have access to ring account on the app, for example can my parents, myself, my spouse, siblings, siblings spouses all have the app on our individual phones to be able to arm and disarm the system? 5- can I manage the system remotely or are there limitations? Thanks again for the great info.
Thanks to this review and several others by security.org. I went with Ring home security system. To me its the best value for the money. Ring is the cheapest system to buy, Its very simple to set up. Even for a non computer savvy person like me, and what I like about Ring better than its closest competitors such as Simplisafe and Cove is that Ring is the only one that doesn't charge you extra OR make you buy into the more expensive monitoring plans than they advertise to lure customers in just to get access to your doorbell footage. And with Ring you can expand and add as many extra cameras as you like and nothing changes with price. This is just not true with any other security system. Also with ring You have the option to self monitor if you want but the only reason I was even considering self monitoring was the high cost of many of these companies monitoring plans. Ring's $10 a month plan is a bargain compared to every other company out there and its no contract. So I went with it. I hate contracts that lock you into spending with a company. If a product is good and worth it then you don't need to force your customers into contracts to keep their business . Ok so ring doesn't have a fancy keypad that looks like a computer screen but who cares All that is for is to show everyone you have a security system. They don't have key fobs either but considering that everyone has a cell phone and the system is controlled through your phone, you don't really need an extra key fob to add to your key ring. I almost went with Simplisafe because a neighbor has it and he showed it to me and I was sold on every aspect of Simplisafe except one. Simplisafe offers a $15 a month monitored plan but what they try to hide from people is that in order to get full access to your security system you have to pay $25 a month So that axed Simplisafe and I found out Cove dose the same thing. SO for me, Now that I have the Ring system installed and I did it myself I am happy with it. I did opt for the $10 a month fully monitored plan and they give you a 7 day practice period before the system goes live and I tripped it by accident a few times and was immediately called by Ring to see if everything was OK. Also compared to my friends security system from ADT that he has a 5 year contract with and pays $65 a month for monitoring, it works pretty much the same way the ADT system works. Ring's system also has the chimes that go off even when the system is unarmed so when you are home and a door or window is opened the system sounds through the whole house just like all the big expensive companies offer. So for me, for the money in initial cost, and the optional monthly monitoring, Ring is the best system out there and no one else can touch them.
After this Security.org Ring review and excellent testimonial by Dodge King, I boxed up and returned a Simplisafe package. My new Ring package is installed and I'm most happy with it.
@@unknownperson3691 Thank you Unknown Person. I viewed the video on simplisafe. Do you happen to know if the Ring system can be broken the same way? I have a Ring sign in the front yard and wonder if I'm just advertising my vulnerability.
@@Irwhodunit looks like but it is much harder to do so and I haven’t seen videos as the interference will almost certainly be detected. But it is best practice to not advertise your security system whichever company you go with.
@@unknownperson3691 Hey! Thanks for getting back to me. I paid $48 for a solar-powered Ring light that turns on during nightfall. I think anybody using electronics to break into homes is going to work in a wealthier neighborhood than mine. I live in a prybar area.
Not only was this an excellent review of Ring Security System, it was extremely pleasant to watch. Thanks for having a great presentation, with energy and professionalism ....
A sensor and it’s corresponding magnet have to be aligned but don’t have to be at the same level as the door and the frame around it are not at the same level?
Great video. Thanks for explaining the cellular and battery back up. Thanks for being so exact and also showing installation. Could you do one to show how you would put it on a window and how to install a wireless ring doorbell
Your educational security videos are TOP NOTCH!! THANK YOU!! I recently purchased and installed the 2nd GEN ring system. Question: Can you set the system to BYPASS a door when HOME/STAY is active. Say if you wanted to go to the garage or basement for something? On my OLD hard wired system, I was able to bypass a door. Does the 2nd generation have this feature?
Good question! If we have not answered your question within our detailed hands-on review, we suggest reaching out to the company directly to get more information. Thanks for understanding!
Thank you so much for your review. The information you shared was extremely easy to digest and helped us decide on which security system to purchase. Well done. Continued success!
Loving all your reviews! We currently have simplisafe gen 1 and don't want the high monthly fees to continue plus the cost of all new components if we upgrade to the new version. That being said, have you looked into how you can link Alexa guard mode to the ring alarm to provide the glass break sensor capability? I can't tell if it auto alarms or not... Thanks for all yall do!!
Security.org doesn't mention Alexa Guard in its comparison review of Ring Alarm or show its effectiveness compared to SimpliSafe's glass break detector. However its pretty simple and more cost-effective than SimpliSafe. . support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028205592-Using-Alexa-Guard-with-Alarm-to-Detect-Broken-Glass-Smoke-and-Carbon-Monoxide
It was mentioned that there is a cellular and batter back-up if you are subscribed to the premium monitoring system. What if you aren't subscribed? What happens if there is a power or internet connection outage?
Hello. Thanks for the great video. Finally getting rid of ADT. I have a question please . I'm gonna have three different pads in three different floors. I need the pad upstairs not to chirp at all when any sensor is opened or closed. And I need the one in the middle and Basement floors to only chirp when certain sensors are opened and closed. Are these options customizable? Thanks so much.
If I do not want to have protect plus subscription, and power go out, but my router has battery backup, Will ring alam still send notification to my phone App for example motion alert? Will i get notification about power goes out?
Great video Gabe. If you were to hook up the 14 piece system plus a doorbell and a video floodlight or two, what kind of internet speeds would that require to actually be able to reliably connect? The fastest offered in my area is 80mbps.
Unfortunately I do not think you can do it for contact sensors and motion detectors. You have to go with ring sensors but you can add such as the Zwave first alert alarm 🚨
Anyone know how to make my base station stop saying " armed or disarm" everytime I press those functions? It scares the crap out of me and takes me by surprise when it talks everytime someone else in the household arms or disarms the system.
great review! a few questions: 1) Do you have to use the range extender? 2) can the base station plug in via ethernet or only via wifi? 3) does the keypad need to be plugged in or does it run on batteries?
I am currently on a month to month to lease but don’t plan on leaving for a while. In case something happens, once you take the sensors down, are you able to re stick them again? Or do you have to buy all brand new sensors?
when the system is in the HOME mode can I deactivate one or the door sensors? I have a garage door that we use when the system is in the home mode. When we activate the AWAY mode all the sensors (including the garage door) will be armed.
Live Streaming "Ring Doorbell" only available on Echo Show? Can I not live stream from my TV? 1) Each Piece ( i.e; sensor contact sensors) battery operated or rechargeable? 2) Connecting device are wireless or wired to key pad?
I have Vivint security system and ring cameras i'm paying $20 a month for Vivint so with Ring security system I can ups my Ring cameras with only $100 a year?
Question: even though contact sensors were successfully set up, it shows two doors are open. What does that mean? Do I need to open and close the doors?
All of the DIY systems we reviewed should work the way you described, but glitches happen and software isn't perfect. We recommend you always double check.
Great review, man! I've been looking for a good home security system that I can purchase as one ecosystem so I don't have to use multiple apps, but I haven't been able to find one yet. Right now I use Kangaroo Security and they are decent and affordable but they don't offer any outdoor cams and if wireless connectivity was lost, I'd be out of luck. I like that Ring offers both battery and cellular backup as well as outdoor cams, but the Ring wireless cams don't seem to be as good as the Eufy cams but Eufy is screwing up right now with their latest firmware update botching everything and causing connection issues. I've seen a couple of reviews of their home security system, but so far I think Ring is better. I still have some research to do, but right now I'm really leaning toward a Ring ecosystem. Thanks again for the review!
Very informative review. Being new at all this i have some questions. Currently I use Google Assistant, I have no experience with Alexa. Will Google Assistant work with this or should I just go with Alexa? Also, with the cameras, can I remotely turn on the cameras on from miles away to watch whats happening at my house? Also, can the window and door monitors be activated and/or deactivated individually or no? And can you have more than one keypad in the house, one at the front door and one at the back door? Lastly, can you get the system at Amazon or should I go to the nearest electronics store? Keep up the good work😀
Ring Products integrate best with Alexa. Yes you can watch the cameras when you are not at home. You cannot activate and deactivate the window sensors one at a time. You can't have more than 1 keypad. You can get it all on Amazon.
Is the siren louder on the new version? That's what prevented need from taking the plunge on the first one. I tested using a store demo and with the volume all the way up the siren was not loud at all even though it came from there base and keyboard. Do they allow for an external siren to be added to this yet that is loud?
Hi yes, I'm thinking about ordering the second generation ring system, and I wanted to know can you fix the cameras where they only record when the alarm is set on home mode so you can move around without always having a camera, take a picture of you when you're at home and home mode, please let me know, I'm really thinking about getting this system the second generation, and which is the best camera to get for the inside?.
Gabe I have a question. Does the keypad require drilling into the wall? I am wondering if it's powered by ac, I have to plug it in, the cord will look unattractive dangling from the remote to the outlet, etc. How intrusive is the keypad? I am torn between Ring Alarm and SimpliSafe. Moreover, do I really need to utilize the keypad at all, especially if I just operate the whole system from the app? My big thing is drilling into the wall. That part of the process is not as easy as the rest of the installation, and one might be better off calling a technician, especially if you have no confidence in drilling and installing wire through a wall. Thanks.
It does not. It can look a bit weird. Have to finagle it. I personally don't use th keypad that often. And with SimpliSafe, for example, you can simply use the 3M stickies to get it up without drilling
Great Job could you please reply and let me know if they have 24 hour customer service so if your system is not working you can talk with someone. How about ordering more parts and adding on to the system in the future can the person do that in the app or do you have to go through RING. Great Job talking tonight.

Hi yes, I'm thinking about ordering the second generation ring system, and I wanted to know can you fix the cameras where they only record when the alarm is set on home mode so you can move around without always having a camera, take a picture of you when you're at home and home mode, please let me know, I'm really thinking about getting this system the second generation, and which is the best camera to get for the inside?.
Not that we are aware of.
If I have a trip overseas, the alarm rang loudly , how should I do?
Gabe I have a question. Does the keypad require drilling into the wall? I am wondering if it's powered by ac, I have to plug it in, the cord will look unattractive dangling from the remote to the outlet, etc. How intrusive is the keypad? I am torn between Ring Alarm and SimpliSafe. Moreover, do I really need to utilize the keypad at all, especially if I just operate the whole system from the app? My big thing is drilling into the wall. That part of the process is not as easy as the rest of the installation, and one might be better off calling a technician, especially if you have no confidence in drilling and installing wire through a wall. Thanks.
It does not. It can look a bit weird. Have to finagle it. I personally don't use th keypad that often. And with SimpliSafe, for example, you can simply use the 3M stickies to get it up without drilling
can this work without use prpfesional monitoring services? can this work when internet cut off by thief?
All DIY systems need a WiFi connection, but you don't need the pro monitoring.
Am I able to get a gen 2 base station with a already in use 1st gen?
Would this be good for a small business? Its around 1000 square feet
Great Job could you please reply and let me know if they have 24 hour customer service so if your system is not working you can talk with someone. How about ordering more parts and adding on to the system in the future can the person do that in the app or do you have to go through RING. Great Job talking tonight.
Yes Ring does have 24 hour customer service available.

You can order a Key fob but it doesn't not come with the kit.
