We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version th-cam.com/users/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.
very good to have
I received the 14 piece kit yesterday and installed it all in under an hour. Awesome system so far and big upgrade from ADT. Also only going to be paying $100 a year for professional monitoring vs the $624 a year I was paying ADT.
That's awesome, huge savings with this and the system seems much more advanced than ADT.
Same with us. I realized ADT was sitting back robbing me $59 every month doing nothing for years. I thought their services/equipment was supposed to keep the thieves out, but they were the ones robbing me blind. Happy to pay Ring $10 a month for the same service plus unlimited cloud storage should I get their cameras. 👍👍
I was with ADT as well and will be switching to Ring after my contract is up.
I thought it takes more than 2 hours
Ring now went up to 20 bucks a month for monitoring
I just bought this on amazon yesterday and look forward to installing it. Excellent video presentation on how to install. Easy to follow, detailed, and patient. Thank You for the help.
Thanks!
I look at the ring boxes for two days, like ughhh where do I begin LOL! Thank you so much really awesome review and install instructions.
No problem!
Great tutorial! Thank you for posting. I am building a new home and this will definitely be at the top of my list for security!
You're welcome! It's really great!
Run a cat 6 wire from where you want the keypad to your furnace room so you can plug it in in furnace room and not have a wire hang down your wall.
All your videos are great quality! I like the honest and straightforward reviews! Lol I would subscribe again if I could!
I appreciate that!
This was a big help you did a great job on the move Thank you for your time
Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to show the installation. Looks pretty straightforward. I like how the keypad looks!
You're welcome!
Best ring 2nd gen video! Out of the numerous vids about the 2nd gen, this was the most useful and informative. I ended up watching all the ads without skipping just to support you!
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback!
Black Friday sale is awesome right now for these kits! I got 2, 9 piece kits (they added the plug in interior camera) and a bonus echo show 5! The peephole camera was half off too! Thanks on the video, haven't set it up yet!
Nice!
Excellent review, mine is being delivered today. I ordered the smoke detector with mine not just the listener
Thanks! Nice, it's a really good device.
Pretty good video. I programed and installed per your video and was unboxed and competed in a little less that 30 min. It took me some extra time due to the extra motion detector I ordered with it and extra siren mods. Two thumbs up guy
Thanks!
Thank you for this! You just have the exact same devices that I want to install in my apartment, the Ring System, the Ring Peephole Camera and the Schlage Encode, and I was curious about the integrations. I am still undecided about the indoor cameras, since the Eufy models seems really interesting, but I guess for integration I better get a Ring indoor camera.
No worries! Ring cameras are beneficial for their integration as you mentioned. Plus if you get the ring protect plan, you almost get 60 days of cloud storage for all the ring cameras at your address as well.
Thanks for the review! I just ordered the 8 piece kit myself and saw your review. Hope I win the gift card so that I can use it to expand my Ring system! ;)
No problem! Good luck!
Very informative video. Thank you for making my decision easier. I just purchased the gen 2 online.
Glad I could help! I have a few other videos on the ring alarm 2nd gen answering more questions with other demonstrations if you run into additional questions.
I ordered the ring alarm system and came past your video. really amazing job explaining and i really liked this video!!
Glad it helped!
Quick unboxing, explanation of how to install and to the point exactly what i was looking for thank you
You're welcome!
Great review! Here comes the 1000th thumb up!
Nice! Thanks!
It's great that your doing this giveaway. I feel that it is a great way for you to gain some subscribers, which I feel you deserve more for the excellent information you provide in your videos. 👍😄
Thanks!!!
Very informative video. You've convinced me to buy this system!
Thanks! It's a great system!
Appreciate video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Mahorrla Defence Wisdom Method (should be on google have a look)? It is a good one off product for securing your home from danger without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my good mate called Gray after many years got excellent success with it.
The registration fee is a "tax" that some municipalities and HOAs charge for your alarm to be registered. Ring is simply advising you that you may be charged this fee if your area requires it. I live in an unincorporated area and do not have to pay a fee. I also received a discount on my homeowner's insurance for having an alarm.
It costs $43 for the first year and $26 for renewals in Los Angeles. I had no idea initially.
@@landpet well, they're not coming here s😒 I wish I th🗣ught there was an additional fee! *ha*
I'm in the lower desert and on the boarder of the "city" and "county" after leaving PS. We were told that CHP/Riverside would respond not the city.
"Things Your Realtor Didn't Mention..."
Anyway, my husband just passed away on November 30th, 2021 so I had to upgrade. I think I did pretty good until I found your video. I use to call him "Groot" because he was taller than me. Well, even after using the clapper 🎬 step stool and viewed your video I realized I didn't go high enough smh! I'm about 5 ft 1"...I was thinking the lil step ladder thing would put me where I needed to be...guess I was wrong. 🤦🏽♀️
I sure do miss Groot aka Henry aka my husband! And not just cause he was tall.
Gratitude for video!
PS
Any thoughts on Owl 🦉 Security? After upgrading to this and the floodlight camera wired, I was told/shown Owl. Kinda interested but kinda not. Because it would be primarily powered by me.
Take care all and be safe.
Great video! Just got this and looking forward to install!
Glad it was helpful! I have 3 other videos on the ring alarm for app tour, faq's and working with alexa guard. If you want more info, be sure to check those out.
Just got ours it’s really good. Although I messed up and the alarm went off and me and my cat were running around my apartment (like trinity from the matrix) lol trying everything to turn it off. My friend told me how to disarm it but I forgot. So thx for the video I def now know what I’m doing. It’s very simple to use and so easy to set up.
Glad to hear it's working great now.
good job with the video. if I may ask a question 🙋🏻♂️ do u recommend I install the extra keypad I have inside my car garage before entering my house via ground level basement or, should I install the keypad on the inside of the basement wall adjacent to entrance of garage. asking because I've just ordered the 14 piece kit and don't yet have the awareness of owning the system just yet.
Thanks. It's up to you obviously but I'd probably put it inside of the basement based on what you're describing. It all comes down to putting it somewhere accessible to arm/disarm the system but with a bit of security meaning, you don't want anyone to come and have access to this without tripping some sensor. So if you had a sensor on the door between your garage and basement and there was a sensor on that would trip would be ideal but again up to you.
Great video! Did you use the anchors to hang the keypad? If so, do you know what size drill bit to use?
Thanks! Yes I did use the anchors, I can't remember what drill bit I used. I typically use a drill bit slightly smaller than the anchor so it's a snug fit for the anchor.
Good video bro. You can tell this is honest review and actually what you thought
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback!
Vid was a big help. Thanks for making the install easy!
No problem!
Thank you for explaining everything so well!
No problem!
Excellent video! Thanks for the install and setup demo!
No problem
I just purchased and set up my Ring Security System! Your video is very good for walking a new user through the setup steps! The one question I have is regarding using the keypad in battery mode rather than plugged in. If I rely on the battery rather than plugging it in to an outlet, how long does the battery typically last before it needs to be recharged? Is there an indicator light that warns of a low battery? Other than that all is well, and I think I'm going to love this system!!
Thanks! I haven’t charged my keypad yet and it’s still good, truly amazing battery life. It will notify you when the battery is low. You can also see an estimate of the battery in the ring app. I did a video showing the ring app tour and everything it can do. th-cam.com/video/HLlEdtSpJ5w/w-d-xo.html
@@landpet Thanks!! I will check that video out as well. i agree ... you do a great job in your videos.
Thanks!
Super helpful! Thank you for sharing!
No problem!
Great review! Question 🙋🏼♀️ how long does the charge last on the keypad if you don’t want to keep it plugged in? Or how often are you charging it?
Thanks! I haven't charged it yet, lol.
I saw in one of these videos that the charge lasts up to 7 months or even more. I don't want to keep it plugged in for aesthetic purposes
Great video....your tutorial made it easy for me to understand
Glad it was useful!
Great video. You were extremely thorough and the only other question I have is how long do the batteries last in the sensors and how easy is it to change them?
Thanks! The keypad is supposed to last several months, I've had the unit for over 3 months and the battery is still showing green (unfortunately no percentage on the sensors unlike the ring cameras). In fact all my sensors are fully green. I think the keypad can last 6 to 9 months and the sensors I imagine will last longer than that (1st gen lasts years). They're pretty easy to change. I have a few other ring alarm videos and I cover a lot of other questions as well, this one specifically answering questions: th-cam.com/video/EUKTw6pEEiM/w-d-xo.html
@@landpet thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to educate us on this.
np!
This guy sounds like my high school teacher lol. Very informative video by the way 👍
Lol thanks!
Thank You. Setting mine up!!!🕊️💞
No problem!
Looks like an interesting system for the DIY’r.
Yes a pretty easy setup for the DIY'r. Very easy to use as well. I have 2 more videos on this answering questions and going through an app tour.
Nice review. COVE is my choice for best system, after firing horrible ADT after they destroyed Protection 1 who i was with for 18 years. I had ring but it seems to lag plus Cove does not draw on your wifi it connects 4G LTE. I like the Cove panel.
Thanks for the heads up!
Are the parts compatible with the first gen Ring Alarm? I like the keypad, am wondering if I can switch it out with mine.
Yes, they are. Copy paste from support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040149572-FAQs-about-Ring-Alarm-2nd-generation-: "Yes, you can mix and match first and second generation Ring Alarm Contact Sensors, Motion Detectors, Range Extenders, Keypads and third-party devices"
I read an review before saying ring alarm triggers lot of false alarm, is that true? How is the professional monitoring and response time? Thinking of switching from my ADT.
Thanks
Their response time is quick, I’ve had a sensor falsely trigger once. They called me within 30 seconds I would say, lol while I was scrambling to turn it off cause it went off in the morning while I was asleep. A few other times it triggered cause I forgot it was on and I opened a window or door but I turned it off within 5 to 10 seconds and no call.
And yes, the county where I live they require that we register the alarm system with the sheriff's county police department. I have to pay like 20 bucks a year for the registration. Just went in and changed the info from ADT to Ring and voila. I wouldn't say that is a con as if it has nothing to do with Ring and their professional monitoring system since any system you get with professional monitoring and if you have to register is totally dependent on the county you live in and not the system.
Yes, I agree. I just didn't know about it but it would be the same with any company as you said.
Just bought a new Lennar home which has most of this stuff already installed. For the keypad, is it necessary to keep the cord connected down to the power outlet, or can I charge it and remove the cord? Secondly, house is small (1800 sq ft) but two story (did not come with range extender, where is a good suggestion to place the base station (I prefer not to drill any holes so just want to set it on a table)
The keypad doesn't need to be connected, as long as it has charge and it lasts quite a while with it, you should be ok leaving it unplugged.
Centrally placed is best, where it's almost evenly spaced from everything.
Very helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi I just bought the Ring 2 nd Gen and I need your help pleases do I need to download the ring App before I hook up the system like install the batteries ? Thanks for your help
Hi, you need to install the ring app first and follow the directions to set it up. I have a video on the ring app and all it can do, check it out on my channel.
Awesome video. Question: do we have option to electric power and battery for keypad instead of on Battery? In any of the models?
You can just leave the keypad plugged in
Great review. I just got this gen 2 system and although I get the countdown beeps for the exit delay when I set to the Away mode, as soon as I open the door to exit the alarm goes off! Have I set something up wrong? Also, when I enter the home with the alarm set, it goes off immediately instead of giving me an entry delay. I can work around this using my phone to set & disarm it, from outside the home, but shouldn't the exit and entry delay work?
I think I may know your issue. You probably have that sensor on your door set to a "Secondary door or window". You need to go reconfigure it to be the "primary door". In the case of the "primary door", the alarm doesn't go off right away. In the "Secondary door or window" case, it does go off right away.
I released another video today answering a lot of common questions. This is one of them, be sure to check it out: th-cam.com/video/EUKTw6pEEiM/w-d-xo.html
@@landpet Thanks for the prompt response..
@@faengelm no problem, hope that helped!
@@landpet Yes, it worked great... thanks
What size drill bit do you use for the wall anchors screws?
I can't remember the exact size but it was on the smaller end. I usually just find an appropriate drill bit based on the anchor.
Excellent vids…subbed!
Thanks!
I still have my 1st generation keypad; I bought a 2nd generation one and they both work. So yes you can mix and match devices. I like the 2nd generation much better.
Yup, you can mix and match.
Awesome video. Thank you for your input.
Glad it was helpful!
Great product!!! Would buy again.
Lol I did, when I moved
thanks for your video, you are really good, like the way you "teach"!!
You are welcome! Thanks for the kind words!
Will the base station tell you what door is open? Meaning when you open the front door will it say out loud "front door" or "back door" and so on? I understand you can look and see what sensor is open. I'm curious if it will actually say what door is open or if it just indicates "hey, somethings open"
The way it works is that it beeps when you open any door or window. When you try to arm the system, then it will tell you which door or window is open at which point it asks if you want to bypass it and alarm it anyways. The app will show you as you mentioned.
thanks as very helpful.
No problem!
Great run through of everything thank you..my heads kinda spinning of what alarm system to buy.
Could you say or hint at how much this system is please 👍👌🇬🇧
Thanks! In the states, it typically starts around 200 and goes up as you need more contact sensors, motion detectors, keypads, etc.
@@landpet Thanks man that's seems a very reasonable price 👍
Great video!
Thanks!
Two questions:
1. Have you pressed all 3 red outlined buttons simultaneously to see who can get to you first?
2. Do you typically have the ring phone app enabled, and if so, do you notice an increased battery depletion rate?
1. Lmao, now that would be a great test!
2. Not really, I don't think the ring app depletes the sensors or keypads any more than normal. Since the base station is pushing the notifications and that's plugged in.
Great videos about the Ring Protect - would love to switch from the wireless 2GIG system.... but..... Ring does not offer recessed door contact sensors or glass break sensors. There is Alexa Guard which only works away from home; don't know if it works as well as a 2GIG glass break sensor. Ring offers a garage door tilt sensor, but no smart garage door opener. Ugh.... so cheap, so close to replacing 2GIG and alarm.com.
Thanks! Yup it's not perfect but very good for the price!
So what is the motion sensor for exactly? Aside from sensing mention of course, what does it do besides that?
That's it, if it senses motion while the alarm is on (assuming it's enabled) then it triggers the alarm the same way a contact sensor would trigger the alarm if a door or window was opened.
Let's say for example if someone entered your place through a window or door that didn't have a contact sensor, if they walked in a room with the motion sensor then that would trigger the alarm.
Great video before my install ty
Thanks!
Thank you
No problem
Really appreciate the great video
Thanks!
Did you say that a sensor and the corresponding magnet have to be aligned but the magnet can be sticking out because of the frame around the door and the door are not at the same level?
Yes, there is a sensor and corresponding magnet and while they do have to be aligned, there is some leeway. In my case, with my front door it's not exactly flush (frame is not at the same level as the door) and it still works.
can you tell which camera that you installed on the door next to door sensor. i cant heard what camera you had use..
th-cam.com/video/zEJoCGNf8ks/w-d-xo.html
excellent explanation .
Glad it helped
Can you combine two items from diffrent generations: use an item from generation one (keyboard, Ge 1 for example) with another item from generation 2 (another keyboard, Generation 2)?
Yes, ring alarm is backwards compatible
Perhaps I missed it, but just to confirm by pressing a combination on the keypad, the user can enter into "panic mode," correct? Also, is there any way to turn on all lights using the keypad? TIA
when you say panic mode, do you mean one of the three dedicated buttons to call for help? If so then yes, you just hold any one of the three for 3 seconds and it calls the appropriate authorities. There is also a duress code that you can enter that will disable the alarm but will call the police. When you say turn on all lights, I'm assuming you mean the keypad? If so, then yes when you get nearby it turns on automatically when you're close to it and it's a little dark there. When there's light around, the keypad doesn't turn on the lights. Check out my other video, I show an example: th-cam.com/video/EUKTw6pEEiM/w-d-xo.html
I should add to call any form of help, you need to be signed up for the Ring Protection Plan. My FAQ video covers that.
@@landpet No, I'm not talking about the emergency buttons. There is a dedicated panic button that you can buy with the alarm system that I assume if depressed will sound the base alarm unit. I've read that if you press a key combination on the keypad, you can achieve the same effect. Let's say someone suspicious walks onto your property at 2am and you just want to scare them off but not necessarily call the cops, you have the option to press the panic button to draw attention. It would be nice if there was some way to trigger all the Ring floodlights and pathlights to come on as well.
@@xuser9980 There is a Panic Button in the top right corner of the app that you can press to do one of four things: Sound the just the siren, call police, call fire, call rescue. There is no Panic feature on the panel to sound just the siren without summoning help. Ring also has a Panic Button you can buy and add to the alarm to summon help in an emergency. shop.ring.com/collections/accessories/products/panic-button
Well done. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
HI, im from argentina,...any idea of the weight of the complete box? im thinking about getting one but I depend mostly on the weight of the box for the shipping...
I don't know exactly, if I had to take a guess, I would say about 3 to 4 pounds (Under 2kg).
Great video bro
Appreciate it!
What did you find out about the registration fee? How much in your area and is it a one time fee?
For Los Angeles, the first year is $43. Followed by $26 yearly after that.
Thanks for the video, can I use this in the Netherlands (Europe)
Thanks! I don't think it works in the Netherlands at least not with the professional monitoring. community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Can-I-also-use-Ring-alarm-in-Europe-the-Netherlands/td-p/19456
Hi. Thank u for the review. I have a question. U mentioned that if u get the ring protective plan you'll get the cellular signal option with the system. Did I understand that correctly? Cellular signal option is only possible with the protection plan?
No problem. Yes, the cellular signal is there to call for help when you have the plan not when it's self monitored.
I'm getting rid of vivint... I have the sky control panel... Will those sensors work with ring? Pretty sure the camera and bell won't
Ring's wireless alarm system is proprietary but they have a new retrofit option for older 3rd party wired systems available. shop.ring.com/products/retrofit-alarm-kit
Thanks for jumping in! Appreciate it!
will the emergency services buttons work in thr UK?
I don't know about the UK, I would ask Ring for that.
Can the door sensors be mounted with screws instead of adhesive?
The bigger piece of the contact sensor has two pre-drilled holes but it doesn't come with any screws. The magnet seems like it's adhesive only.
How long does the battery for the keypad last?
According to Ring, it should last 6 to 9 months but depends on usage. I assume it won't last that long but if it goes over a month or two, I'm already happy.
support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005025306-Ring-Alarm-System-Basic-Information
How does the motion detector work is it like a camera??
No it's not a camera, it's just a sensor that detects motion. Towards the end of my other video (th-cam.com/video/HLlEdtSpJ5w/w-d-xo.html), I explain how it works and if you have pets or not. Answering those questions. This video is very informative either way, I basically explain everything the ring alarm can do.
Is there a feature with the contact sensors like Nest where you can press a button while the system is armed to bypass it? Example: You want to leave the house for work without totally disarming the whole system and waking the family up, so just bypass 1 door to leave. I'm guessing the pairing light on the sensors is just merely a light, not a button for functionality.
Just tried it, you can't do it on the contact sensor itself. You would have to do on the Ring app and disable that sensor for that particular mode ("Home" or "Away"). In order to disable a certain contact sensor, you would have to disable the alarm first before you can make changes. Looks like a "no" for now, I don't know if they will do a software update in the future but unlikely.
@@landpet thanks for looking into it. There are some good deals on the first Gen system so I may just grab a 10 piece set from costco as the main differentiator is aesthetic, but I can save a ton by just going Gen 1.
@@Kelvinjan Yeah, not a bad idea if you want to save some money. Same level of security. If you check out my FAQ video, I go a little more into detail about the differences: th-cam.com/video/EUKTw6pEEiM/w-d-xo.html
Can you remove the sensors if you get new windows?
Yes, the glue tape is on there pretty tight but I'm sure you can remove that and put some new 2 sided tape.
Can u please confirm what is the Voltage range of the Charger and the Range Extender is it 110 volt or 110 to 220 Volt range I am planning to use it in India and the Power supply is 220 Volt there
Sure
Range Extender: Power Input 100-240V ~50/60Hz 40mA
Charger for Keypad: The power adapter is 100-240V ~50/60Hz 0.2A (It's actually a USB power adapter, USB-A to Micro USB cable is used from this power adapter to charge the keypad)
Base Station: 100-240V ~50/60Hz 0.5A
Looks like it should work fine in India, just need that simple adapter to go from the 110 to 220 adapter for it to actually plugin to your wall outlet as you know.
how long does the battery last on the key pad before you have to recharge
It should last 6-9 month. In my case, I have only charged it once when I first got it, and the battery still shows green even now, so I think at this pace, it will easily last 9 months or more. It takes about an hour or so to charge.
Hi is the USB cable for keypad a micro USB or USB C connector please?
Micro USB
I have a question what if someone broke your window would the sensor catch that someone broke it?
That's an excellent question. No the sensor wouldn't if the window wasn't opened however there is something called alexa guard that would and it's free to use as long as you have an Amazon echo speaker. I made a video about it: th-cam.com/video/3Jn5rth-1GM/w-d-xo.html
Hello, can they be within an inch and at 90 degree to one another?
An inch for sure, I don’t know about 90 degrees. Small side is just a magnet really so if it senses the magnet you should be ok. But 1 inch is the max so I can’t say, all mine are taped on so I can’t remove it to test it otherwise I wouldn’t be able to put it back.
I have 2 small dogs, will they set off the alarm if the motion sensor goes off?
Excellent question. There is a motion settings option that you can adjust to account for pets. Check out my other video, I go over the examples and show you how it works (skipped to that section): th-cam.com/video/HLlEdtSpJ5w/w-d-xo.html
Feel free to watch the whole thing, I answer a lot of questions.
I have a question can i put the button ring inside my room instead beside of the door?
You can put the keypad anywhere so as long as it’s within range of the base station or extender, you can also put more than one keypad (assuming you get more than one)
Does the monitoring company send you a SIM card to put in the unit? Or how does that work if I want the system monitored?
No sim card, everything is built-in. If you want professional monitoring, it's just an option that's set in the Ring App. If you don't want it, same thing, just an option you set in the Ring App.
You sign up with the Ring Protect Plan, again from the app. You can also do it online at ring.com when you login to your account.
@@landpet Got it. Thank you.
no problem!
I have to pay my city a yearly fee for my alarm as well. If I do not and it goes off and they come out I have to pay a big fine.
Yeah, luckily it's not too expensive. Mine was $43 for the first year and $26 for every year afterwards
I think the motion sensor needs some space between ceiling and the sensor, otherwise you won't be able to change the batteries.
You can definitely leave more space but there’s plenty to remove it. Recently changed the batteries
Hello, can you install the base station anywhere?
Yes, just need power and wifi
How do you set the access four number code?? Thanks.
Hi, I replied to your other comments but I go over that in this ring app tour video: th-cam.com/video/HLlEdtSpJ5w/w-d-xo.html
does this work with smarthings?
I don't have smartthings but it doesn't look like it's compatible. Smartthings is compatible with Alexa though (ring alarm is compatible with Alexa as well). You may have some options that way by creating an Alexa routine: www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202200080
I have mine with smart things..
Do those motion detectors have any issues picking up pets?
They have different levels of sensitivity you can set. I talk about this towards the end of this video th-cam.com/video/HLlEdtSpJ5w/w-d-xo.html
What cameras do you use?
Mostly ring cameras like the ring spotlight, ring stickup, ring floodlight. I also have some ezviz but that's not compatible with this
can i use it without any profesional monitoring services??
Yes
How do I sync my nest cameras with the ring
You can only sync Ring cameras. It doesn't support linking nest cameras. At least not now.
So they come with cameras?
No, they don't come with cameras. The cameras are sold separately but you can integrate the ring cameras if you get them.
When the alarm is triggered does the floodlight siren go off.
I don't have the floodlight camera to test but I don't think it will. It will just enable it to start recording. community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/will-ring-alarm-activate-floodlight-alarm/td-p/441
landpet wasted opportunity
The camera siren can only be activated manually in the app. If the alarm is triggered, the cameras can be set to automatically start recording. The base station siren is plenty loud by itself.
