After our review, here's a closer look at the Ring Alarm system, the pieces that come in the start kit and how it operates in the Ring app. Full review: www.techhive.c... Amazon: amzn.to/2z7ecSH
This is the second home in which th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).
The X and ✓ buttons (with the red dots) indicate the panic buttons. If you hold those down simaltaniously it will instantly trigger the alarm. (If you have the monitoring plan it will send them an alarm as well)
You are 100x better than Ring customer service. They told me wifi was necessary even after I told them I didn’t want monitoring service- they didn’t sound like theu knew what they were talking about. Zwave seems to be separate from wifi, which is what I want.
Question ❓ can I use the motion detector for home armed. For like the garage ? I'd like to know if someone comes in the garage wile we are home and door is open.
I just found out that I need several (I ordered 6) SLIM MAGNETS for my doors, as the way they are built, there is inadequate room for the magnets provided by Ring. I recommend to new buyers to check the doors and windows, and see if the contact sensors will work fine. My previous security provider was ADT, and I did not realize till now, that they had put in slim magnets for some of my doors and windows. I will install 3 motion sensors instead of just one that ADT has had at my home. And bother less with window sensors. But all entry doors will have contact sensors. And oh, about cellular backup: Ring uses AT&T. The signal from AT&T at my home is kind of poor. Displays as one short red bar on the display. So I called Ring, and was told that even if the color is red, as long as there is one bar, that is adequate for an emergency transmission if my WiFi is down. Really, Ring needs to use other cell networks if there is inadequate signal with AT&T. Besides, Verizon is far better for national (USA) coverage. SimpliSafe uses Verizon by the way. We did not want to spend $25 a month for the same service which is $10 a month (actually $8.30 a month if you pay yearly at $100 a year) with Ring. Cellular backup is very important.
We live in the wilderness of interior Alaska so our needs are fairly unique...I like the Ring system because I get an email as soon as a sensor is tripped...a motion sensor, a door or cabinet is opened, a water heater starts leaking, a entry way starts freezing, the smoke/CO2 detector is sensed, etc. No monthly service fee which would be useless in our case since emergency response is much slower than me getting an email and having the neighbor run over to check out the problem. I did order a different sensor on Amazon that emails me the room temperature so I can see if there is any problem starting during the cold Alaska winters. If someone breaks in a steals a $200 TV, no big deal, but if they break in and the pipes freeze, or our water heater leaks, or the freezer dies with prime Alaskan salmon...thats a big deal. Ring Alarm's base station has a battery backup that lasts for 24 hours if the power goes out...by then my neighbor will have our generator up and running
Can you choose to have the alarm sound immediately when certain sensors are tripped? Like when opening a window or tripping a motion sensor will set it off immediately, but coming in the main door it'll give you 30 seconds? thank you.
You can customize it to set off the alarm in home mode via the app if you so desire. They are supposed to be good for pets up to 80lbs, but I have heard of that not really being the case. Then again, it's an IR sensor that's looking for a signature of a given size and unable to tell the weight, so if you have a greyhound that is 30 inches tall, but only weighs 70 lbs, there's a chance that it'll still set off the alarm because of the size of the signature.
I have a question I have installed a wireless system a couple years ago so I’m familiar with programming and how they operate. The other videos I have seen people have the ring keypad wired and a plug in an outlet. It is unsightly. How long will it run on the cr123 battery. This is key because I like discreet things and who the hell has an outlet right under it by their front door
Sonny Lloyd Thanks I know that. I actually already have the system and I am very happy with it. I ordered it after I wrote that comment and saw all the reviews. I just wish they would also add a panic button on the app as well.
Lots of people have alarm systems than be armed with one touch at the keypad. Then they discover that children---that's ALL visiting children in the family--WILL experiment with the keypad when they think no one's watching. Some adults will also. If your kids are good about leaving things alone, are they teens yet? That's prone to change, and teens will bring home teen friends who will occasionally prod at anything that beeps when you touch it. If you have one-touch arming, you are GOING to have the system occasionally Armed when there's no one around who knows the code to Disarm. Think about being called at work or maybe on a day trip, to disarm your alarm system at home. Nobody who's familiar with alarm systems and customer behavior, is going to make the system too easy to arm. I know some customers _think_ they want that, but they usually change their minds once it's been in operation for awhile and they find how many people just push keypad buttons 'to see what happens'. I've been an alarm tech for 40+ years, and this is experience speaking.
all sensors are configurable. trip alarm in away and/or home mode, your choice. motion is default to away only.. but if you installed one in a detached garage for example, you can set that one to trip mode for "home" as well since you want it to trip alarm while you're home at night sleeping.
Ring doesn't allow customization of including or excluding sensor in Home or Away mode :) . Simplisafe allows user to include or exclude contact and/or motion sensor in whether is Home or Away mode ...which is very helpful in scenario such arming in Home mode and one or two area user wanted to have motion sensor armed V.S Ring on or nothing!
They do allow you to customize it in modes. I am using it to monitor some sensors in home and you can also set it such that some sensors are monitored in home but not in away.
Wait, Aug 3 2018 this video came out? At 8:40 "maybe they'll come out with an indoor security camera too"? They have all kinds of cameras, all are indoor/outdoor
We all know ring makes cameras, but they can't be tied to the alarm system. They are monitored separately by you via your device, not by the available monitoring service. For example, if you have a ring doorbell and the alarm system and the doorbell senses motion, it will not trigger your alarm, but rather send you an alert.
Go into the app and make sure you have the chirp set to a tone for that sensor. You can also disable all the chirps in the disarmed mode by going to Settings>Modes>Disarmed.
I've been searching all over for info on the area of coverage of the motions sensors. Without knowing this it seems like installing one to cover important areas is all trial and error. Does anyone know where this information can be found.
I can't think of any reason why you won't be able to use them in the UK but the monitoring option won't be available. You'll just have to monitor yourself on your phone.
I have older version of simplisafe and was happy without the monitoring service for last four year. I believe the new version has the cellular functions but my old one doesn't support it. Now instead of adding new functions/devices, SIMPLISAFE just came with a new version and you cannot use any of the stuff from old version. Now moving to Ring as I already have the Ring Pro door bell and their monitoring services is cheaper at $100 a year.
I have the new simplisafe security system and therenew video doorbell and soon as they release there out door cameras ill get those plus i have there interior camera so i have been very happy with them and there customer service. I am #simplisafe4life
I have a decent sized house and no range extender is needed for my Simplisafe system. Why is it necessary for Ring? I am thinking of switching to Ring because Simplisafe is junky and unpredictable.
The Ring sensors work on a low-power wireless system called Z-Wave to conserve energy. Ring says a typical range is 250 feet (about 75 meters) so most houses should be OK without one. But that range is influenced by placement of the sensors and base station, the number of walls between the units and even what the wall is made of. The range extender is therefore helpful in larger homes or where Z-Wave has problems. You might not need it. More here: shop.ring.com/collections/security-system/products/alarm-range-extender
How is simplisafe junky? I have the new simplisafe 3 and everything else they have and been very happy with them and this ring sounds and looks cheaply made. Maybe they will be good in the future but i have got 6 of my neighbors now that switched to simplisafe. For me its #simplisafe4life
Wonderful. So someone breaks into my home in the middle of the night and they have 30 seconds or so to cave my head in before the alarm goes off. I'm pretty sure most decent alarms when armed trigger immediately for all zones apart from entry. This thing had better gain some customization options pretty quickly. Also how about some vibration sensors. It's way more useful to detect people breaking in rather than when they gain entry (or 30 seconds later) and then get a chance to put a claw hammer to your head.
You have the ability to decrease the alarm timer. Also, 30 seconds delay is pretty standard for alarm systems. They are meant to deter intruders if you desire a little more protection, Concealed Carry will be your best option.
You can set it to trigger instantly (0 seconds) in the app. That's how mine are set up in home mode. The 30 seconds is the default setting. That was one of my concerns also.
I've heard that the motion sensors scan out and down so installing them lower and upside down would reduce false alerts because of pets. Can anyone confirm?
Silicon Valley ..................... Well done. I particularly liked (was looking for) the cellular comment - when the power goes off (or is sabotaged) the Base Station switches to a cellular module. But ..... Are you dead in the water if you do NOT have the Protection Plan? i.e. The Base Station won't contact your smartphone?
We don't have a video but TechHive ranks Ring above Abode. Here's our review of the Abode: www.techhive.com/article/3183087/hubs-controllers/abode-home-security-system-review-flexible-easy-to-install-and-readily-expandable.html Here is our Ring review: www.techhive.com/article/3285725/connected-home/ring-alarm-review.html and here's the comparison: www.techhive.com/article/3206310/connected-home/best-smart-home-system.html#toc-2
OK, I am a verified customer. This is system is terrible. Only good for a small studio apartment. If you have a home or condo with an upstairs or down stairs forget it. Weak wifi signal based, erratic sensors, and required 4 hours of Ring support and still not resolved. Sorry, this is only a system for small spaces.
Beck, I encourage you to look at the total cost, not the hardware cost. The cheapest comparable SimpliSafe plan I can find (24/7 monitors, cellular, phone alerts) is $25 per month. Ring charges $10 per month. After 1 or 2 years, you'll have paid more for the SimpliSafe. This has been the business of alarm companies for years. A low-cost or 'free' alarm system then regular monthly payments that amount to thousands of dollars over the life of the system.
Hey, can you do a follow-up on how many people were seen naked in their houses because Ring was allowing employees to view the recorded footage from like the Ukraine or something? Amazon should not be in the security business. It got a real system that does all of the same stuff with no security breaches.
IM with the Big (A) 😉 company And I can tell you that's the Fakest home protection device I've ever seen, get (Two way voice) for big cities, and ditch the reset button then we'll talk LOL.
ring 1/3rd the price for both products AND monitoring. two way has a problem that when alarm goes off and two way comes on .. what then, voice threaten? that's useless.. burgler is just silent keeps on rob'n you. so monitoring company sends dispatch which is EXACTLY what ring system would do (without wasting time trying to talk to burgler).
That's to much stuff to have to do to install it not ideal for the elderly. 200 dollars is too much and I'm sure monthly fee. As far as I can see this is a cheaply made system designed to get your money too many other better options.
Mark, The $10 per month for monitoring and camera storage beats everything else on the market at the moment. I haven't come across another monitored security system that charges so low a monthly price. It's possible to get video cameras with a generous free cloud storage plan (Arlo) or no storage (Netatmo) but not with monitored security. Unmonitored is of course free. If you're going to pay anything for cameras and security, this is a good price. If you want to go the 100% free route there are options, but you lose some functionality.
TechHive Video Or I guess I should say that $10 a month does not include the monthly/yrly cloud storage u have to pay for for the Rings cams and any extra sensor’s or glass break sensor..I pay $25 per mnth from my house alarm monitoring and got all my equipment for free and I’m not on any contracts..plus we all know that sometimes with any diy companies like Nest,Ring and Arlo’s that they have issues from time to time with firmware updates and server so if that happens your Ring home alarm is render useless..thats what I call too many eggs in ONE basket..at least with using a seperate alarm company from my Diy cams I know my house alarm is always protected no matter if my cams are having issues.. FYI: I use Arlos and a few other name brands that sometimes have thoses issues...
Mark Her, the $10 per month includes everything. I have 8 Ring cameras and have this new alarm, $10 per month. No other security company can beat that for monitoring and storage.

It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).
When it sounds off , Is it loud enough for neighbours to be alerted since it’s kept indoors ?
Do you have a video with the actual sound of the chime when the sensor opens/close?
The X and ✓ buttons (with the red dots) indicate the panic buttons. If you hold those down simaltaniously it will instantly trigger the alarm. (If you have the monitoring plan it will send them an alarm as well)
I believe that it will only trigger your home system and not monitoring because why would they have two ways to sound the siren
Hi! I just bought a Ring sensor 2nd generation. Do I need a hub to be able to use this sensor?
You are 100x better than Ring customer service. They told me wifi was necessary even after I told them I didn’t want monitoring service- they didn’t sound like theu knew what they were talking about. Zwave seems to be separate from wifi, which is what I want.
Does the motion detector sound an alarm as well?
Yes, if you are in away mode but in stay mode, no
Question ❓ can I use the motion detector for home armed. For like the garage ? I'd like to know if someone comes in the garage wile we are home and door is open.

Subscribed immediately. Of all the reviews, yours is the best. Thank you.
Can you do a power failure / internet failure review? I am curious to see how well this system works when the power to the home is lost.
I tested it and it lasted around two days on battery backup.
@@BukuiZhao
That was an extensive four year test thank you for your dedication!

Following
I believe this is what the away mode does. You pick a main door and that is the entry point that gives you time to disarm the system....... I think.
Yes
When it is disarmed, can you get alerts when doors open and close? I have small kids.
Yes. You can enable motion alerts and your phone will get a push alert
So the motion sensor will set the alarm off in away mode but not home mode? Also will pets set off motion detector?
You can customize it to set off the alarm in home mode via the app if you so desire. They are supposed to be good for pets up to 80lbs, but I have heard of that not really being the case.

I have this system along with the ring door bell, ring pro chime and floodlight cam. The best!!!
Do you know if the the floodlight siren activates automatically when the security alarm goes off? That would be a great feature.
@@ColtSammons It does not, but that would be a great feature.
Thank you this video was very informative. I just purchased this system and I was looking for a basic demonstration,
I have a question I have installed a wireless system a couple years ago so I’m familiar with programming and how they operate. The other videos I have seen people have the ring keypad wired and a plug in an outlet. It is unsightly. How long will it run on the cr123 battery. This is key because I like discreet things and who the hell has an outlet right under it by their front door
Living in the rural area without WIFI, will this work? Great video....thanks
Jeremy Ballance no it needs WiFi to Connect to the sensor.
Did you mean rural area without CELL PHONE SERVICE? You can provide your own wifi.
Does it alert you of low battery?
Can I get an outdoor audible alarm with this system?
Does the system voice identify which sensor is activated if a brake in occurs?
No
Who do I get this connected with a monitoring system?
Can you use an item from generation one (keyboard, Ge 1 for example) with another item from generation 2 (another keyboard, Generation 2)?
Apparently they are all interchangeable .
I would recommend this to anyone
Well done Techhive!!
Does the app have a panic button?
In case of emergencies and need to set off the alarm
try pressing both CHECK and 'X' on keypad simultaneously
Sonny Lloyd
Thanks I know that. I actually already have the system and I am very happy with it. I ordered it after I wrote that comment and saw all the reviews.
I just wish they would also add a panic button on the app as well.
Thank you very much. Excellent demonstration.
Nice video. Thanks. It seems silly to me to have to enter your passcode to arm the system. I would hope they change that in a firmware update.
Use the App, one touch.
Lots of people have alarm systems than be armed with one touch at the keypad. Then they discover that children---that's ALL visiting children in the family--WILL experiment with the keypad when they think no one's watching. Some adults will also. If your kids are good about leaving things alone, are they teens yet?

I've been an alarm tech for 40+ years, and this is experience speaking.
Does the alarm sound if the motion sensor is tripped while In away mode?
No, non-approved Z-Wave sensors cannot trip the alarm.
TechHive Video so what is the point of having the motion sensor if it does not activate the alarm when set in away mode??
@@ChelseaSB Seems like the first answer to you question was related to some other topic. Yes the motion sensor trips the alarm when in the away mode.
Robert Bond thank you haha.

Hi everyone, can you auto arm/disarm it with the day and time?
No you cant
Its released in the uk in a couple of days
When will it come the UK?
do not buy no support for uk, please read trustpilot reveiws
So u cant use zones

No, but you won't have professional monitoring.
How would this work with 2 large German Shepherds walking around all day.
This alarm is already two releases behind Simplisafe. Lots of catching up to do. On top of it their price is higher than Simplisafe.

Or I guess I should say that $10 a month does not include the monthly/yrly cloud storage u have to pay for for the Rings cams and any extra sensor’s or glass break sensor..I pay $25 per mnth from my house alarm monitoring and got all my equipment for free and I’m not on any contracts..plus we all know that sometimes with any diy companies like Nest,Ring and Arlo’s that they have issues from time to time with firmware updates and server so if that happens your Ring home alarm is render useless..thats what I call too many eggs in ONE basket..at least with using a seperate alarm company from my Diy cams I know my house alarm is always protected no matter if my cams are having issues..
FYI: I use Arlos and a few other name brands that sometimes have thoses issues...
Mark Her, the $10 per month includes everything. I have 8 Ring cameras and have this new alarm, $10 per month. No other security company can beat that for monitoring and storage.
Great review. Good job.
