What you need to know about Ring
Ring is a top brand in smart home security, known for its doorbell cameras. They offer three different home security packages to fit small, medium, and large homes. The small package may not be the best choice for larger homes, as it only includes one contact sensor. Ring gives you the option of self- or professional monitoring, and you can customize the packages to suit your needs.
We found that Ring’s Small Alarm and Indoor Camera Pack is great for DIY installation, with easy-to-use devices and helpful instruction videos. Installation is quick and simple, and you can choose to mount the devices with adhesive strips or screws. Ring also offers a professional installation service through Amazon.
What’s included in the package?
The Alarm and Indoor Camera Pack comes with five pieces of equipment that monitor the inside of your home. All devices connect to the Base Station, which needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi. The pack includes a motion detector, contact sensor, keypad, and an indoor camera with HD video quality, night vision, and two-way audio.
We especially like the range extender included in the package, which boosts the signal from the Base Station to reach all alarm components.
App and monitoring
The Ring system works with their mobile app, allowing you to control your security system remotely. With a Ring Protect Plus subscription, you get 24/7 Assisted Monitoring and alerts for emergency contacts if the alarm is triggered. The system also integrates with smart home devices like Amazon Alexa and Echo.
Our thoughts
The Ring Alarm system is a user-friendly option for homeowners looking to protect their property. With subscription services and additional devices, you can customize the system to fit your needs. While it’s great for small properties, larger homes may require additional components. Check out our full Ring home security review for more details.
