Hands Down, The Best Home Security System Available!
5 Stars
Hands Down, The Best Home Security System Available!
I bought the 8-Piece Kit that included a free 3rd Gen Echo Dot when it was on sale with a Prime Member discount. This "8-Piece Kit" was shipped packaged as a 5-Piece Kit, a separately packaged 2-Pack Door/Window Sensors, and another separately packaged Motion Sensor. I don't particularly care one way or the other...I just thought it was interesting that it shipped that way...perhaps Amazon's way of clearing out the less desirable 5-Piece Kits.The Ring Alarm system is excellent in several ways:#1 All items included in the 5-Piece Kit were already tied to the Base Station, allowing you to simply pull the battery tabs for automatic pairing. Those of us who are experienced Smartthings owners know how difficult the pairing process can sometimes be with new devices.#2 The extra sensors paired with a simple QR scan of the code on the back of the sensor from within the Ring app.#3 The Motion Sensor's corner mounting solution is simply spectacular! You can choose to simply stick the Motion Sensor mount into the corner with the included double sided sticky tape OR you have 4 countersunk holes in the angled sides of the mount to use for corner mounting with drywall screws. The simplistic thoughtful engineering of this mount is wonderful!#4 The Base Station is everything that I had hoped to transform my Smartthings system into...battery backup, cellular backup, etc. I have been using my Smartthings setup for non-monitored home security for nearly 3 years. While it works great in many ways, I have never found an acceptably priced cellular backup for when the power/Internet goes out. Having a 24 hour built-in battery backup and free cellular backup with the Ring Protect Plus plan is an awesome feature!#5 Still Base Station related, but the built in 104dB siren is nice and loud, and doesn't need it's own separate power source, unlike my Smartthings siren...yet another item that I purchased separately for Smartthings, which requires its own batteries.#6 The Keypad is designed and built quite well. The keypad is fully rechargeable with the included USB AC Adapter and Micro USB Cable. The keypad has it's own speaker, though I don't suggest setting its volume to 100% due to a bit of distortion. The buttons and current mode all light up any time you pass by whenever you disable "Power Save Mode" in the Ring app. The mount for the keypad can be used to mount it on the wall or flipped over to use it as a table stand. Again, Ring has actually thought about and taken time to engineer a functional and useful mounting solution for another one of their products.#7 The Ring Alarm is compatible out of the box with the First Alert Z-Wave Smoke/CO Detector that I already owned for my Smartthings system! I simply Excluded my Smoke/CO Detector from Smartthings and paired it to my Ring Alarm. Within 1-2 minutes, I received an email from Ring thanking me for adding Fire and CO detection to my Ring Alarm and informing me that I didn't need to acquire any permits for fire monitoring.#8 Though #1-#7 are all great reasons to pick up the Ring Alarm, the Ring Protect Plus plan coming in at a minuscule $10/month or $100/year easily takes the cake as one of the best features of the Ring Alarm! However, and I want to be crystal clear, without the exceptional level of engineering that has gone into the Ring Alarm, the Ring Protect Plus plan would lack any appeal for me. The fact that you get 24/7 professional monitoring, unlimited Ring Camera cloud backup, and extended warranties on all your Ring products make the $100/year price for Ring Protect Plus an absolute steal!What do I not like about the Ring Alarm system?#1 The only engineering fail that I've found thus far is the double sided sticky tape mounting bracket for the Door/Window Sensors. The bracket needs to be attached to the sensor for proper placement on a door. After ensuring proper placement, I remove the Sensor from the door to really press down on the small mounting bracket to ensure a secure installation. While removing the Sensor from the door it is very easy to bend the "locking tab" used to keep the Sensor from being knocked off of the mount during regular use. It's simply a plastic friction tab going into a hole on the back of the sensor...and it's just too thin. I bent the tab on 2 of 3 Sensor installations, but was able to "repair" it with needle nose pliers. The back side of the Door/Window Sensors, which contains screw holes as an alternative mount, should simply be flat, rather than recessed, allowing the Sensor to attach directly to the door with the included double sided sticky tape.#2 The Ring Alarm includes Zigbee, Z-Wave, WiFi, Ethernet and Bluetooth! However, it is not yet the Smartthings KILLER that they are clearly grooming it to be. Please, oh please, spend the time and effort necessary to make more Z-Wave and Zigbee products compatible with Ring Alarm!!! I would love to see all of my interior light turn on and my exterior lights flash any time the Ring Alarm were to be triggered.#3 There is currently no geofence option to Arm/Disarm Ring based on the presence of, for example, your cellphone. While I enjoy this feature on Smartthings, we frequently get to the door at the house and need to wait for Smartthings to realize we're home or we have to open the Smartthings app to tell it we're home. I would love to at least see Ring offer this as an option...preferably implemented a bit better than Smartthings.Overall, I have one suggestion...BUY THE RING ALARM! If you want an easy to setup DIY wireless alarm system at a dirt cheap equipment and subscription cost, you are simply wasting your time to look elsewhere! I'll also be picking up the Ring Doorbell Camera ASAP to enjoy some basically free cloud backup!This system was bought with my own money. I haven't been paid or coerced to write this review. This is probably the longest Amazon review I've ever written. However, the Ring Alarm just fires me up and I hope this review has fired you up too!God Bless!
