Two improvements: a camera on the motion detector units (so you can see if you have an intruder or just Bertiecool having a stroll); and the ability to hardwire door contact sensors AND recess them into the door edge and doorjam.
I love my ring system, realised you can routine various things with it through Alexa, i.e turn off smart sockets/lights when i arm it in home or away, or use the door and motion sensors to turn on lights ! Saves you buying additional sensors if you already have Ring set up!
Iv had this system plus cams for a month now. Love it. Real good.
My mans fly's were undone the whole video 🤣🤣
Main issue is that you can’t hear the main station when it’s tucked in a closet. Ring needs to come up with Siren extenders that put a ring of sound around the house.
they have that.
You should have a ring external bell box fitted aswell. Or the burglar alarm that was originally fitted have it updated to a smart control panel and have sensors put on the doors and windows..
3:23 pant zip is open...
Why you looking there anyway haha
I got ring DB2, last other week for less than you can get a RB1 for, well happy with it. Easy to setup, motion bit is really clever, battery is around 50% after 12 days on the highest notification frequency and around 15 notifications per day, plus us checking the live view for like every hour for the first 2 days... Laughing Out Loud. Absolutely love it, £3 p/m is priceless as far as i cam concerned.
I got the Ring pro with Amazon echo 5 for £150. Don't have to worry about charging the battery. I get at least 100 notifications a day so battery would drain fast af lol
Wasn’t it proven Ring shares your personal data with Facebook???
There’s videos of them been hacked and people talking through them too
MJ x FUSIONZ don’t reuse passwords and use 2 factor authentication and you’ll be fine...
In the process of getting my first house and close on it in less than 3 weeks. I have actually already bought a Ring security system and a Ring doorbell pro. Extremely excited to get into the home and start decking it out with tech!
Let us know how you get on with the system! :)
Should use old alarm system it’s a Texecom which is good quality. You can upgrade the panel to get an app on your phone, my opinion but the ring alarm looks tacky
They are good apart from the external bell boxes that use cheap piezo sounders and can be quiet!
Imagine promoting spyware to your audience. Some content creators will literally sell their souls for a bit of easy cash.
What on earth do you mean Spyware?! You're mental.
@@techflow Don't you read the articles about Ring? How they're sending shits to Facebook and other companies? Also how it was "hacked" due to not having 2FA?
You are talking outdated. Ring does have 2fa now.
Isn't this channel all about advertising some tech in every single video?
If it was paid, by LAW I would have to mention lol.
@@4madness4madness4 true dat
Will wait for nest to release something uk as I have the nest doorbell.
Aren’t you forgetting to mention the subscription cost for having a ring. Another video says it’s $3.99 a month in the US. Surely has to be the same in the UK for the cloud notifications.
Finally something that’s cheaper in the UK than the US. 😁
£8 if you have more than one ring device
Only downside to the Ring alarm system is the lack of external alarms and no tamper protection on the base station! I’m really torn between getting this eco system with the cameras or to get a professional alarm system with a separate CCTV system.
If u have a subscription to ring u get a sim card try in the base ststion if the power gos out u get notified
Just ordered my system.
I am impressed with the house 🏠
Next video: GUYS!!! My Parents Got Hacked!!!
Can I ask why, despite being told before, you still insist on mispronouncing the word “Ethernet” please?
It's Eee-ther-net NOT
Eth-er-net
As a Tech Pro, surely you know this matey? Please explain.
Wishing you good luck on future vids either way.
Stuart Sunshine I thought there might be a legitimate reason? Perhaps he’s trying to appeal/appease Americans, but even they pronounce it correctly! 🤩
@@4madness4madness4 I sure hope so, at least he would think about educating himself if he has some common sense

I literally do it sarcastically to annoy people because I'm that open-minded and really, really don't care. -Alex
TechFlow I'm very surprised and disappointed to read this reply Alex.
If you really don't care what you're viewers (and therefore the people who afford you the money and lifestyle you live as a direct result of views) think and take away from your videos, then why go to the effort of creating this content?
Secondly, if you're sincere about your comment, would you be prepared to make a statement to that fact? Maybe even put it in your intro? Genuine question. RSVP.
drocto Yes, I do care about what people have to say, clearly as I’m replying to comments...please don’t take what I say and twist it (I understand that’s really easy to do online, just a mis interpretation of text on a screen). If the feedback was meaningful and would help my content, sure; I welcome that with open arms - however if people are going to drone on specifically about the way I pronounce ONE single word in the ENTIRE video then you can see how that’s going to cause some serious giggles to people that, have far more to worry about than the way one random person spits out one random word. I’m 22 years old with far more to worry about in life right now than the way I pronounce ‘ethernet’. We make these videos for fun, for people to watch for enjoyment. In no way EVER have I said that I am a tech professional and that I know everything about everything, but people seem to think I am - and the second I do something slightly wrong (like pronunciation of a word) its almost a race who can comment it first. Remember, I’m human, just like you, trying to have fun... so let’s cut the crap drone now please, because it’s boring af. Stay indoors! #savelives
Why did they not send a Ring Pro if the plan was to hardwire? Ring Pro is so much better than the Ring 2.
too bad it doesnt have an external siren, thats a key feature for an alarm system
How many times have you taken any notice of your neighbours alarm going off honestly?
@@holysheet4958 its also important for the psychological factor on the thieves , if they hear it even louder, then they will scare off
The secret about burglary or even fire or water leak is to be even a little bit of friend with your neighbours that they will check your house the day something happens.
i'm all for security, but someone who comes from means is not using ring. they have a real alarm system that is privately monitored and maybe have safe rooms in there home..
Any reason you didn't go for the ring Pro
smart tech ring don’t have the facilities to send out a free expensive doorbell
Disappointing to see negative comments on - what I thought - was a very good video, nice one Alex! Laughing at people get hung up on your pronunciation of "Ethernet", smh. Glad to see some constructive comments and questions too, like it's compatibility with Alexa and lack of external siren. (PS I've reported some inappropriate/offensive comments as well)
lol. New ring video door bell 3 is out soon.
Outstanding review
Nice video I actually got one myself Ring Alarm that is. Only last week did I get an alert saying someone had broken in. The police were called and arrived 4 minutes later the burglar was caught red handed and arrested. I couldn’t thank the product enough!
Sounds like a tall tale to me lol 😂
1ninjatiger I have the footage to proof it and a photo of the dude being led away.
Robert Rayworth I meant the police arriving in four minutes 😂🤣
That ring alarm system is good how much was it and is there a subscription for this
I really can’t believe some of the ignorant comments you’ve received on this video...some people shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a keyboard! Keep doing what your doing, your videos are very well made and I for one don’t give a monkeys how you pronounce Ethernet.
I agree, he’s making a tech review video he’s not a security expert just a son wanting to install a security system for his parents thats all
Personality and the product. Good balance. Professionalism. Good job 👍 fun video
Can the Ring Doorbell use the battery as a backup when the power goes out?
The doorbell works on battery even if hardwired.. the wiring only gives it a 10% trickle charge per day
Just a thought, Aren't the alarms abit... internal? Whos that going to alert if you're out? When it alerts you I presume you then have to phone the police. the delay in response will virtually allow the burglars to do what they please before leaving?
24/7 monitors they will contact police for you or what ever other emergency service you require
$10 a month U.S dollars 24/7 professional monitoring.
Don't think it alerts police in the UK, think its just America
Hi Alex, can you do a video on Yale alarm systems?
"No motion detected" That's what my talking lavatory says.
your fly is open
Reason I wont buy it is because all you gotta do is throw the alarm panel in the sink with water and what use is a quiet alarm inside house?
haha!
I was wondering if u have to pay a subscription on the app as I want to get my mum the doorbell?
It's not a service we use or require.
Thank you for letting me know that I didn’t need to pay a subscription for the app
Would you please do a similar video on the Yale alarm system?
You should get the new keypad for the front door and the bedroom its smaller
You do actually understand that this has limited to no actual use for security? Forget the inconvience with batteries in PIR and MUK sensors, but the ease of dampening the wi-fi signal for robbers is huge. And actually the REAL security systems, also have apps with likeble designs, just not the 27 years old ones. I get that you have to eat, but don't give people false information.
Nothing is false in this video. It's all true. The video was based on the true experience of installing and testing the starter kit. We aren't here to tell people what alarm to buy, we never ever said that. This video also isn't directly about alarms, as a good portion of it covers the doorbell. However, if you are interested in the system, you can watch this piece of content we enjoyed making to see more about it.
And has panic feature for the bedroom maybe you could get a panic button for the bedrooms too
How good is this to take from home to home? How easy is it to take down and then re-use the contact sensors if they just use sticky pads?
You could just buy a roll of 3M tape and apply new sticky foam
Monitoring will have to know when you move to change your address as well as updating the address on the app. If I were to move I would definitely remove and take all with me to set up again in the new home. Just need fresh double sided tape for the motion and window and door sensors.
Well presented and informative. You should be on the gadget show!
Lovely Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - Mahorrla Defence Wisdom Method (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing one off guide for securing your home from danger minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate after many years got excellent success with it.
The Ring for me is massivley limited incomparison to say the Yale alarm system, it does everything that Ring does but also adds an audible box outside etc which imo is much better so not only are you alerted but also your neighbours
We have also tested the Yale. We found the app to be really sluggish and unresponsive. Are you having the same issues?
@@techflow No not really , occasionally it takes a couple of seconds to load up but nothing that would put me off it too be fair. Whenever I've tested it to ensure it's all working I get quick text messages to my phone to say the alarm has been alerted , it also tells me where it's been set off , ice had it for around 14 months now and have been really pleased thus far
Joe Beddoe stay away from Yale horrible stuff
This are my favorite type of vids
Keep up the good job
Is the ring 2 much better than the ring 1?
Susan Beauchamp the doorbell 2 is 1080p whereares the doorbell 1 is 720p also the doorbell 2 has a user replaceable battery
Don't be bother about ring. Better look for Arlo or Eufy. Much better quality for less money.
Nice guy, just wish he would zip his pants up lol
Will you hear the alarm going off from outside didn't sound very loud
You need to sleep with the bedroom doors open to hopefully hear. Good luck on waking up to it LOL
Can the motion sensors exclude detection of pets?
Yes
Hi. Excellent video. I have a dog. Are these sensors likely to trip the alarm with the dog in the house walking passed?
The panel sounder sounds really quiet
I have one installed and it is bloody loud, I triggered it outside my house and can hear it easily
I think you should do pyronix enforcer more reliable this ring one barely makes any sound compared to the old one. since theres no outside one no one is going to get alerted only u
You absolutely should have used the Ajax alarm to convert an old alarm system into a new connected one
Personal preference
Ajax has better sensors and tech but ring is Much much better with its interface and ease of use,
Imagine if the burglar goes in a windows or back door.
Bro I love ure videos Idk why u are getting so much hate. There's nothing wrong with the videos or u keep it up much respect. (Dont reply if ure gonna hate)
cuz his milking same thing all time like his setup or something with internet speed while he can make review about new tech
@@imed122 doesn't mean u hate. Just ask
How does this work with Alexa if it does at all ? Like does it all show on your Alexa show or spot when somebody’s at the door ?
We haven't tested it with Alexa but it is compatible.
TechFlow bet good to know thanks
I have all this kit and it works well with Alexa. It's customisable with what notifications you get. I have the Alexa speakers make different noises depending on what door is opened.
I have a fire tablet configured in kiosk mode which acts as a smart home display so I can see all my CCTV and all my house smart devices from one screen so don't use the spot or show for notifications or seeing the cameras.
Luke Brownsword thank you so much this was helpful answered basically all my questions man your appreciate I hope you get a cookie
David Notdave thanks guys
I have the Ring doorbell pro, works great for my townhouse. I'm looking to get the Spotlight cam for the patio but it has to be battery powered....Any reactions to that cam yet?
The spotlight cam is really good, i got it with my system. The video quality is great and the field of view is really good as well, the only con i find with the battery powered one is the battery doesn't last as long as they claim, for us is around 2 to 3 weeks because we are always watching live view and the motion events, that is why i will get the solar panel so we don't have to worry about charging the battery
Looking so kit both of my parents houses out with a security system for indoor and outdoor, as well as a decent internet setup, thermostat etc and was looking for some advice on the best kit to get them.
Defo don't get anything from ring 😂 not worth your money
The house alarm product doesn’t look very good. The alarm doesn’t sound very loud and the fact that it’s battery powered too isn’t great. Do you have to pay a monthly subscription? Also if someone is breaking into the house can’t they simply take the alarm off the wall and put it in water? Lol and then plug the base unit out.
It would be loud enough for everone in the house to hear (possibally just the neighbours too depending on placement). It works as soon as the motion sensor detects movement, it pings the main unit upstairs to sound alarm and send a notification to everyone logged in, technically the keypad is a little useless because you can just set and upset from the app, however you can enable a chime when the front door is opened, which is cool.
You can buy a external siren like you would have with a standard alarm from Yale etc
TechFlow can it be hard wired?
@@DB-yr6cg any z wave siren works with the alarm system so if you can find one that is wired then you can connect it through the ring app.
Ring recommend using the dome siren
I had both the alarm and doorbell they both gave me headaches over reliability of their products mine both died after a year, so I now have texecom alarm system, with pelco and bosch cctv system with hikvision doorbell. Great video as always
I’ve bought a new house which needs gutted. I’ve put in a hard wired system for now. Just wondering how does one do a part set in this system easily. Usually you omit the upstairs when going to bed and leave the downstairs live yes?
Tony Bedford it’s up to yourself I personally wouldn’t touch one of these as I prefer the hard wired or wireless systems. For omitting I’m not sure on it. The Pyronix Enforcer kits can be used on your phone. The enforcer is
An award winning wireless system and a very good one.
Can you set up and review the ring spotlight cam
There are many other reviews on the spotlight cam out there.
did u turn off the old one?
I want the alarm system but noone in sweden have it in stores :D tryed the ring bell2 problem with bad wifi conection wondering to try again now when i have 2 vifi nets
good one it’s amazing product to buy
The problem with Ring is their cloud based security storage, and the fact you've to pay... Easy pickings for some
You pay for convenience, of not having a guy come over to install a texecom or some other system with cavemen features and application. I guess you get what you pay for.
I wouldn't tell us that your parents don't use their alarm system, sort of leaves them vulnerable. Great video though
They didnt use their old one. Because it was pretty much useless. But now they got the new one installed that they will be using and are using like he showed in the video. I dont really see the problem unless the thiefs have a time machine to go back in time to when they didnt use their alarms.
I have 2nd gen a week it's great
Your family house was built the year I was born and hopefully you will do a update of the ring system a few months down the line and how it behaves
It's been pretty on point. Only thing we cant comment on is battery life yet. We are going to order more sensors for the system.
Flying low Alex
Unfortunately
So endorsed
nope
What if someone breaks the glass
Motion sensors are installed
Ring made a glass break sensor.
Well done with the weight loss mate, looking thin AF! Proud of ya
Ring is ok but not great. One massive drawback is when the alarm goes off ring will not allow its floodlight cam to be used as an external sounder. What are ring thinking? It’s crazy!
Ring has had an update. Go to the base station, linked devices and there will be an option with an exclamation mark. Tap that and when the alarm sounds, the floodlight will sound
@@mychannel0743 thanks for the update buddy.
I have the ring video doorbell and have just got a VPN, however ring doesn't seem to work with WiFi that is protected by a VPN rendering it pretty useless. any tips to get around this?
Hmm, I run my home network through a server and my doorbell works fine. Probably a issue on the vpn config.

Decent video Alex
Please learn to say Ethernet the correct way
Effernet! LOL!!
Alex great video as always. Any thoughts or reviews on Google’s nest alarm system? Would be better to keep all the same system or mix it up?
Defo keep all the same!
Nice filming bro
Hi Alex
It’s a cool video, I enjoyed it like most of your videos Alex. Stop the toxicity people.
The name of the house in the app looks like it leads right there and now people know what alarm system is in use....
Ha, how big is that house!
you also need to be told by your m8s that your zippers are out bruh
Why are you looking there?
If they had a much louder siren this would be a no brainer for a DIY alarm. The fact that he was able to talk over the is what got me. I was looking into the ring alarm a while back until I seen a store demo and made the siren go off. It's very very quite and the alarm siren volume was all the way up on the base station.
The siren sounds from the base station and keypads but the sound is no where near what it should be. This is the downfall to this system unfortunately and there's no option to hook up an external siren to make it louder. The Z Wave siren that can be added to it is a joke.
You do realise he has a second microphone just for his voice...I'm pretty sure he lowers the video sound more than his voice so you can hear him. I don't think he realised that it would put people off. Shame he doesn't reply to comments to clarify.
the siren is about 110dB its a lot louder in person
I agree the zwave siren really is a joke but they have extrenal sirens now
Ring do have an external siren and its fooking loud
Are you having a laugh trying to get the postman the sack item has to been signed for.

Great vid Alex!
Rate texecom
It gets hack so easy
Love your videos, can I have your old ring doorbell?
👍🏼
It's called an alarm system for a reason that base station alarm is crap and quiet the burglar can just unplug the keypad too
It's battery powered, pulling it out will not stop the alarm
@@airportdocumentariesplus u can get an outdoor siren
You haven't heard it in real life. I own one and it's crazy loud when it goes off. Plus both the keypad and the base device have batteries.
Anyone with this alarm or any other should have an external bell box high up on the outside of the peroperty in clear view.
Hi
I just can't take his voice but an OK video.
A big point for me was the monitoring but now if my alarm gos off or if u have the mk2 and push the 3 dedicated buttons the police fire or ambulance buttons it calls a friend insted thats bull shit. Say it rings a friend who then has to ring me befor anything happens. Really stupid concept. Not really "brand new" when the mk 2 is out different kepad smaller motion sensor and smaller contact sensors
Ok, first of all, please use proper english, but here is what I can understand; it doesn’t call a friend, it calls the monitoring company, to confirm that there is something wrong, because if your kid accidentally pushes the panic button, you don’t want the police to come to your house, they have better things to do. And if you don’t answer the phone, (say it’s dead) they will notify an officer to come to your house and check on you. Every monitoring company does this, ADT, ring, simplisafe, vivint, you get the picture. If you want it to directly notify you, you get a dialer system, which you then put a sim card into, and then program to either give you a text or call alert when your system alarm is activated. And with ring, your phone is the first thing to get notified by a ring app notification, then the company calls a maximum of 30 second later, you confirm it’s an emergency, police, fire, or medical get rushed to your house, and will probably be there in 2-10 minutes depending on where you live. I hope this cleared things up.
Daniel Devlin oh well that is the worlds dumbest law, thanks for this
@@aeldallkushi5882 I agree :)
@@aeldallkushi5882 the british law requires a license and its really complicated to setup police monitoring and needs two sensors such as a door contact and motion sensor to go off before the monitoring station can call the police and ring isn’t gonna pay for a diamond certified monitoring station because they would have to increase the price of monitoring to prices similar to securitas or ADT
Would love to be able to buy this, unfortunately out of my budget

What happens if your wifi goes out?
You can buy a device which goes to 4G if wifi drops, I got BT and it came with a hub linked to EE.
It has a cellular backup if you pay for the monthly monitoring
Yea i purchased it and it worked out perfectly
