#Ring #RingAlarmSystem #RingSecurity
Notifications are sent to your phone every time an armed sensor is tripped, and it works with compatible smoke/CO detectors. I've tested every aspect of this system, and it has everything I wished my older ($2000 professionally installed system) had. It gives me a secure feeling when I can keep tabs on everything remotely. Set your ringtone for the monitoring number to a loud alarm sound to avoid missing (or ignoring) the call.
Side note, I found that the ring keypad sometimes goes offline if you leave it always plugged in, then you have to scramble to disarm it from with the phone app before it alarms. I leave mine unplugged now until it alerts me to a low battery and have had no problems since.
I have a ring alarm and I love it. They have always called me when the alarm went off. Smoke detector went off and they called.
It's a great system, hands down.
Great video. I’ve owned my RING system for nearly a year now and I LOVE IT. It’s very reliable and you can’t beat the $10 per month price. I switched to RING from Vivint whom was charging me $55 a month and didn’t include half the service I get from my ring system. I had my Vivint system for about 15 yrs and RING changed that for me. It’s definitely a do it yourself system and easy to do. Also the equipment has a lifetime warranty IF you subscribe to the $10 monthly monitoring and NEVER let it lapse. Very important to remember. I really love my system and am saving over $540 a year compared to Vivint.
Thanks for this info. Do you have anything aside from just the security system? Any cameras? The ring doorbell?
Have already ordered the alarm system. Was just watching supplementary videos just to confirm I had done the right thing, and I have.
Ring alarm is the cheapest way to go and great product.
I use a mask, not afraid of it.
@@001looker mask will not stop an AA12
It’s also stupid easy and reliable to connect to HomeKit with Homebridge. Allows me to get around stupid limitations in the app like not being able to schedule when it arms in the evening and disarms in the morning. Also allows me to use things like various door and motion sensors to automate other devices in my house. The main issue I’ve had is the motion sensor triggering by mistake when away and sending the police to our house. No signs of entry (have Ring cameras front and back), no pets, nothing moved or fell over in this room. We had several flies in our house during that time and I think one of them sent the police. So that part wasn’t great.
Thanks for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Mahorrla Defence Wisdom Method (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for securing your home from danger minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got great results with it.
@@catalinalves6764 Are you trying to advertise your product here?
As soon as my contract is up I’m switching to the Ring system for sure. What you describe is exactly what I have in mine, except that the ring offers more (especially since my doorbell is already ring)
I love the price of Ring monitering, but plan to supplement mine with more Wyze cameras for the inside, for free monitering
The problem with RING's water/freeze sensor is the alert is via email, not a text message to my phone. Frozen pipes are a concern up here in Alaska. So I went with a pp-Code sensor which has 3 distinct advantages: 1) The user can specify the threshold for temperatures, for example, send an alert if the temperature is above 70F or below 50F. 2) Text alerts whenever the threshold is exceeded. 3) The user can remotely look at hourly logs to see the exact temperature and trends for example 65F,62F,59F,55F 50F...etc.
I bought the 9 piece kit last night - I can't wait to install it
I’ve had my wired alarm system for years and is worked good but as my monitoring keeps going up and up Brinks now wants $55 a month for it ridiculous and the value that they offer keeps going down I’ve had several false alarms and not once did brinks call me to find out any if there was anything going on so the professional monitoring does not work I am happy to say I have installed my new ring alarm and so far I’m extremely happy with that considering I already had ring cameras which I have an a pro plus plan for that my monitoring is going to be included in that so I can hardly go wrong
Remember, before you dial 911, be sure to call 357! When seconds count, the cops are minutes away!
Hello. Marry Christmas.
"Thee Wife" purchased the ring doorbell for me as a gift for Christmas. So i decided to research on TH-cam and came across your channel.
Glad I did. Very helpful in making a decision to purchase the home security system.
Thanks
Always happy to hear when my videos help. Merry Christmas
Sold! I just ordered my system.😁
Good choice! Hope you enjoy it.
Here's what I did for a friend of mine. #1 back-up camera looking out the peep hole of his front door. #2 is facing 180 degree full view of the front yard. #3 & #4 is 180 on the sides of the house and #5 is full 180 of the whole back yard!!!! Motion activity trigger WiFi DVR and connects via app. All video images are crystal clear if you know what back-up cameras to buy and what DVR box to get!!.. all the camera's match the color of the house and they aren't noticeable in the day time and at night the IR ANTI-GLARE leds aren't able to be seen at night to the naked eye!!!! This is an easy installation - a 10 year old can install it!!!!!
Thanks for your comparison video. Very informative n helpful. Been searching for a good home alarm system for a while. Already acquired Arlo security cameras. Ring seems to have good features n their price seems reasonable. Heard over news some security systems have been hacked. How secure is the Ring system against hackers??? Kudos for this video. Looking forward to more of your videos, especially home security. Thanks
I'm about to move to a one bedroom apartment alone as a young woman and this video has sold me! I've been going back and forth and now I'm really going to budget out ring!
It’s a solid choice. Enjoy!
Look into the ring door bell for apartments as well...it replaces the peephole without damage, even comes with the tool needed to remove peep hole... I have it , love it so far and just ordered the ring alarm 2nd gen.
Very complete and detailed review that confirmed my research about its features, price, and ease of installation. Well done informative video.
We just purchased the set from costco wholesale club, cant wait to install it. Very affordable.
I have SimpiSafe -- a few years ago I complained on their Facebook page that their keypad was poorly designed for people with fat or big fingers. They blocked me, then a year later they did come out with a new improved keypad. When I went to order it I found out my base station was out of date and wasn't compatible with the new keypad. They're just not a good company. I'm going to get the ring.
Is the footage from your entrance camera (when the officer shows up) also from Ring or another brand? The video quality looks great, thanks.
I'd say ring. My friend has ring and the quality is surprisingly great. Really impressed me.
@@jamescaldwell2095 even color images at night on the powered cameras. Not the battery cameras as I understand it right now. Could probably change in the future.
legit one of the best videos I've seen to date. I like how you demo the product sounds.
I have used Ring for a year now and it just works, have had one police car show up (my fault) and two fire trucks (faulty brand new smoke detector) that was embarrassing.
Props to the officer for being super cool.
Best system on the market. I have about 1k worth of Ring around the house.
No one even comes close currently.
Did you install it yourself?
MY OPPINION I prefer nest because it integrates perfectly with my google assistant setup
I love my ring alarm and security cameras and ring customer services. Affordable and very simple to use. If your ring products fails, they will exchange it for free. 👍👍👍
Henz Cel Do they return cost of all gone staff that bulgar steals from you?
Is it without monthley costs?
I have Ring, and I LOVE it!
I have one to get rid of the ADT/Protection1 64 dollar bill and bought one for my parents when I found out they were paying 70 a month. So the return on investment is months not years.
$70? That seems impossible
Matt Yu nope. Sellers obtain commission off of clients.
Yes same thing happened to me the seller told me it wasn't a contract and turns out it was I can't wait til August to cancel this adt crap and get the ring alarm
Only drawback with ring is their insanely priced cameras and has poor wifi connectivity. But the security system is working as it should be.
I was doing some quick shopping last night for a security system and honestly this video made me feel even more confident in picking ring! I got some basic setup stuff since I'm on a budget but I'm hoping to upgrade as time goes on!
I have had SimpliSafe for years. Version 1 and now the new version 2 for almost a year. Great system, great indoor camera, great customer service. However it's $25 a month if you want all the features. So now I'm switching to ring protect which from what I can tell does a lot of the same things and for only $10 a month. I already have a ring doorbell that I'm paying for so now I'm thinking I probably should have made this switch a long time ago. I bought the 2nd gen ring protect that just came out, looking forward to putting it up. Just arrived today!
I signed up for dfw security after my house was broken into while I was at work. It came with 3 door sensor's, 1 motion sensor, 1 camera ( video quality not that good), and a keypad front door lock that could be unlocked via the app. It costed around $55 a month with a 3 year contract. My contract is up next month. I just bought the Ring Alarm 8-piece kit (2nd Gen) kit with camera and free echo show 5 from amazon for $200.00. Can't wait to try out the ring and if I go pro monitoring I still save $40 a month. I already have the ring doorbell, I like it alot.
I'm glad I came across your comment because I'm getting the 8-piece kit as well. But I never heard of the Echo Show 5. I guess I'll be getting that too. Thanks bro❗
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Had a break in last year and I'm looking at all different systems. Do I have to have an Internet connection or can I just run this off of cellular for notifications?
For setup, you need wifi so I recommend you connect the ring to a hotspot if you don’t have a internet connection. You would have to pay 10 dollars a month (Protect Plus) for cellular coverage.
I've got a good deal on 5 pieces for $109 and I'm telling the truth so I added 10 more sensors for all the windows and door belland I even added another keypad , alarm speaker , solar yard sign I think all together I've spent about $350 to complete my whole house which is not bad and I love Ring alarm plus cameras too .
In some areas of Atlanta now, Police will no longer respond to home security alarm calls because of how many false alarms there are. You have to have cameras outside where you can visually verify someone is messing around on the phone when you call them before they will come out. The noise from the alarms will usually keep people from staying in your house very long but having cameras as a second layer so you can verify things is going to get you help a lot easier.
That sucks but understandable if there are that many false alarms. Good advise on also having a camera as a backup.
Very good video, but I don't understand why Ring called the Sheriff's department. Did you miss Ring's four (total) phone calls? Thank you.
Phone could've been on silent
Except for the fact that criminals have learned how to push the reset button and there's a swarm of burglaries throughout the US right now targeting ring and systems alike
Backaisle EndCaps how does it hurt to get it anyway?
Does the Ring security alarm works on an existing 2GiG Go Control Security Alarm devices sensors , CO/smoke, glass break sensor using Zwave?
If you have it armed and away will alarm sound for any motion detection or just for the door and window sensors?
He did not mention, or may be I missed it, that Ring does send you notifications to your phone in case the system is set off, even if you do not subscribe to any of their plans. That is great! I've heard that Nest does the same.
On the other hand, Simplisafe does not. You MUST subscribe to their most expensive plans, which is 25 bucks per month. It won't even let you turn on or off the system. Pretty lousy and the reason I did not go with Simplisafe.
You didn't mention anything about if they tried calling you
He may have called the non-emergency number and asked if someone would drop by and answer a couple questions for him.
If parents and social media would teach children proper values, we shouldn’t even need home security.
The sad part is I had to include social media in the “parenting” conversation.
Question how many sec or mins for a officer arrived if someone breaking in
Awesome video. Do you know if it will still work (arm/disarm) if my internet/electricity goes down?
Lillian Liu - yes, with battery backup and backup cellular (cellular requires the service I believe).
Ive been thinking about using this one, however, you seemed like they paid you for this video. No cons, just pro ring
Agreed
Tavis Joyner it is a very good system. I paid for mine
You do make a good point. I do try to always have a con for all products i review. This one was kind of hard to find a con because in the few months i've been using it i haven't really had any issues with it. It's a pretty strait forward system but my biggest problem is remembering to arm it. Luckily i can do that through the app after i leave. As for getting paid, my channel to way to small to get paid gigs from companies and if i get a product for free i'll always mention that in the beginning of the video. Anyway, hope that answers some of your questions/concerns.
Steve DOES that’s a lie you have 10K subs some people have less and are getting sponsored
@@RonDeSantis2028 Really? Like who?
This is one of the best investments I’ve ever made.
Thank you, so much. Your review really helped me.
Happy to help.
Excellent job! New subscriber, extremely helpful info! 👌🏽
I love my ring alarm, I’ve had it since February and has been flawless. If you can get it at Costco where it goes on sale for $200 and comes with 6 contact sensors instead of one everywhere else
Does it alert you when any of the batteries are running low and need to be replaced?
Hi we really wanted the Ring home security system but have been put off after watching numerous video's about privacy. All of the accessories available make it appealing over say Eufy especially with the cellular back up, but the whole point is to feel secure.
Can anyone shed any light on this subject please.
How does the cellular backup work? I didn't know they had that. I was thinking of how I could set solar power up to just my wifi router but seems complicated. How long does the backup work if the lights go out and my router is down. Where does it get the signal from when system is down?
Ring has maintained the SAME EXACT plan, 1 price for multiple cameras and devices, for YEARS. I haven't gotten the system yet because I haven't need it, but I'm buying a house soon and will be buying Ring when I do get my house.
I have two dogs. I have to figure out what to do about them when getting my alarm.
False alarms can happen to any security system regardless of price. Ring is just as good as ADT.
I’ve already purchased the Ring Floodlight Wireless Cam. When I saw this video I’m convinced the starter set is the way to go! I’m picking it up this morning at Lowe’s!! I’ve been looking at other systems that are “smart” too but this takes the cake! Thanks again!!!
The newer 2nd Generation Ring Security System has smaller sensors and it is awesome!
Wow really it connect to wifi cool I'm ordering ring alarm
Best review I have seen yet. Clear, concise and no longer than it needs to be. Thank you, I am totally buying one of these.
This looks great. Thank you for your presentation.
You're welcome.
Will it send a notification to your phone if the door is opened while you are gone for free? Or do you have to sign up for the $10 a month service for that feature?
Yes it did change my mind, thx for the thorough info. Keep up great work!
One city I lived in had an ordinance that allowed the city to fine owners who had police calls out for false alarms.
I’m tempted by this, my only concern is how much damage can a siren like that do to a dog in a scenario where it glitches and internet goes down in the house or i’m in a dead zone and can’t shut it off immediately... probably edge case but i can’t help to think what it would do to 🐕... anyone has experience with this?
As long as your paying for the monitoring the system has cellular backup if your internet goes down
PEOPLE Don't use indoor camera's because you will be watched by hackers!!!
Which is exactly why I don’t keep any cameras IN the house.
I had Vivint way too expensive.
I had saw this on QVC of months after I saw this. But, now this is what I'm getting. Thank you for REALLY helping us understand this MUCH better 🙏
It is a great product. I do have two tips, be mindful where you buy and be ready to be more knowledgeable if you have to call in. If you buy as part of a promotion at a retailer or similar, you may not get the 10% as explained to me by Ring. Also, I have had to call the service line due to panel not taking my code during a test. The agent did not seem knowledgeable and I knew more as a new customer. However, I do stay up to date with tech so that could be it.
Can i use this system outside the USA?
Police won’t bother to respond in most municipalities. Make sure yours requires a response by law.
so what kind of batteries do contact sensors use and does it notify system when contact batteries are low
Will you be making a video on the Ring 2nd gen security system?
Great video, Steve. After comparison shopping I am going with Ring. On sale right now through Amazon - $139 for the 5 piece system. Thanks for the review and thanks for sharing.
Robert Cairns - on sale at Costco for 179 for 10pc if you’re a Costco member.
nosirrahm ... nice! I will check it out. Merry Christmas!
Robert Cairns - just realized that the sale ends today!
I am going to only setup my door sensors at this point because I am thinking about using the Ring Retrofit alarm kit to use my existing wired sensors.
If the alarm is triggered will the camera alarms go off to?
My second home is located in a rural area and doesnt have internet. I wonder if I can use this alarm using the backup cellular full time in that location. I currently have ADT on my primary and secondary homes and pay about $100/month. I'm thinking about switching to this for both.
Thank you, making my decision much easier ✝️🇺🇸👍
Good video man. Thanks. We have the ring video doorbell that's already saved us, so definitely interested when it comes to the UK.
If i want more sirens, which accesorie i need to buy ?
I'm convinced! Gonna pick mine up at Costco. Thanks for the video!
Steve, are you still using Ring and what are your thoughts on it 2 1/2 years later? In building a new house, I picked Ring as I got a good deal on it and a POE Ring doorbell through Costco and Facebook Marketplace so my total cost thus far has been about $450 for the doorbell cam, 1 interior camera, and various sensors.
If you don't buy from Amazon or Authorized dealer ur screwed support won't even talk to you... Also don't by a "Renewed" item off Amazon Ring won't support you. The stuff is like ahh right, pretty cheap.. You will need a wired connection for internet.. The Wifi on this thing sucks like no other it is really bad. But what you want for 150$ if you use wired internet
It’s crazy they are charging for something that’s always free with wyze
They are ok, They are good for a quick fix. However, their recordings do not show up until after someone is gone. Also, they skip movement a lot and say photo not available sometimes, I don't know what that is about. I still got vandalized twice and my ring didn't catch anything. So i don't know but they are still just ok.
I want to buy one of these alarm systems but don’t know which one to go with, they have three different kinds of ring systems, the one you have, another one& then there’s one with three stick up cameras as well...Don’t know which one to go with... i’ve been a victim of a violent crime and the guy who stabbed me 4, times in the chest 12 years ago,just got out of prison today. I want the best one of these three. Which one would you recommend?
Ring is absolute trash. Costumer service is disgusting. Over a hour hold time. No call back as promised and for what. A tiny issue that I managed to fix my self with the keypad not responding to being plugged in!
Hope this comes to the UK soon. They advertise the heck out of the video doorbell, but no word on the alarm yet. I already have a couple of the cameras around my house and intend to get some of the new, cheaper indoor cameras too.
Can I add the ring camaras to this alarm system? I have 3 ring camaras that I have not put up and also have a nest doorbell and nest thermostat installed already. I got my 2009 prius catalyc converter stolen from my driveway about 5 days ago so I would like to put a nice motion sensor light and a camara infront of driveway
I tend to over-analyze and watch countless TH-cam reviews before I buy things. This video of yours finally got me to pull the trigger. Got it thru Amazon with a "Free" Echo DOT (gen 3). I am anxious to set it up this week. Thanks, Steve DOES
Amazing video I just ordered the second generation one (newer than this videos one). Helps to save on insurance here in Canada, especially when our alarm systems are multi year contract crap via our mobile providers.
I feel this would be best for me being I already have the $100 subscription
Ring updated there kit
Ring video doorbell to is the best one ever I can take motion detection and when someone rings the doorbell is goes from your phone too
You should also download the “Rapid Ring” app. It’s quicker to notify that the regular ring app.
Yes I get my notifications to my phone and my smart watch simultaneously. It's great especially since I work weird hours!
I've owned Ring for 1 yr. It's gone off a few times. The automated system contacts you and says "call 911!"
This def Baker Ranch in Lake Forest CA. I used to live in those townhomes for couple months until I got my home here. Especially that brick arc over the neighbors door, my landlord's town home had that same design.
I live in the homes by the trail / next to tennis courts. I bring my bunnies to the park sometimes.
JetFalcon Yup, the sheriff’s SUV has the Orange County Sheriff Department - Lake Forest emblem on the side. See them every day.
Can you add video doorbell gen 2 or 3 or a stick up camera to this home security system so I will not loose usage of internet goes out..?
I have a mix of arlo pro 2, 3 and ultra. Also a Samsung SmartThings V3 as the brain in my smart home. Another plus is I added the SmartThings contact sensors and motion sensors. I’ve been looking into security systems. After doing some research I was set to get the ring alarm system until I read about the abode iota. Any inputs on smart security systems? Not sure between the ring and abode iota?
I haven’t checked out Adobe yet. I’ll have to take a look.
Steve DOES thanks for the reply.
If I open my garage door. The base station should say garage door not beeeeep
You can disable the audio beep/chime in the Ring app (or change it to a different sound) when you open a door using a Contact Sensor.
Wish I was able to hardwire the contacts just to have constant power!
Mike V Power it is smallest problem here, all this sensors, cameras... they all communicate thru WiFi signals and only when event trigger it, now you can guess what’s can go wrong. If criminal came to your door with WiFi jammer that anyone can buy for 5$ on eBay then camera don’t transfer video to cloud, sensor don’t transfer data about opening door, movement sensor don’t transfer signal that someone inside building ... etc. Bulglar can do anything just because all nowadays security systems fails from small pice of plastic for 5$. If your system can be wired then use wires, if not then put it in a trash.
@@martingo2680 Thanks for clearing that up. Can you explain a bit more about the workaround you mentioned?
How Ring security system react on WiFi jamming? If in same way as SimpleSafe or Nest then it is another piece of junk.
No idea, but it can use Cellular Backup if WiFi is disconnected (Ring Protect Plus plan needed for this feature). This keeps your whole Ring security system functional.
ZurkeyDurkey Wrong, this is for connecting main base and cloud only, how it will help preventing blocking signals from sensors to main base? It is rhetorical question :-)
@@il35215 Oh I get what you are saying. Hm, in terms of the signal from the sensors to the main base station, I am unsure. I know the sensors use Z-Wave, but I don't know enough about that kind of technology to know what can block that kind of signal.
ZurkeyDurkey I told you, there was testing on SimpleSafe system and it was blocked by cheap jammer easily. As I can understand all wireless systems using sensors that send signals only after some effect (opening door for example) it is not send signals every 100 milliseconds to base with message - “I am working, I am part of your system, no one replaced or jammed me”, obviously it will be dry out battery with in couple days. And this is huge vulnerability because criminals can block transmitting all signals and do everything they want and then leave, main base will never know that they was hear. Same problem with Ring cameras, I know it for sure, camera just stop sending data to cloud. I don’t know how about sensors ... but I can bet that they are cheap trash too.
IL - they’ve fixed this issue, but clearly you didn’t watch the whole video because let’s be realistic here, it is VERY unrealistic for a robber to bring a fucking jammer with him.
How do you reset it I brought it for my mom house she put my cousin to set it up and he had no idea what he was doing so I need to reset it to start installation all over
got it and love it!
All I want is basic monitoring, mostly for smoke and CO2 protection. ADT was charging $60 a month plus the landline was $53...that's $113 a month. So far I have not had any problems with RING and unbeatable for $10 a month with cellular backup. It's just as good as any other monitoring company.
Just waiting for my Rogers contract to expire... 45 bucks a month and guess what, the camera keeps cutting out and they can't fix it. Twice my neighbors have ask if I had camera footage, and nope.. the camera went to 'buffering'. My ring doorbell on the otherhand never lets me down.
It's hard to beat Ring's $10 a month subscription fees.
