Protecting the home and its inhabitants doesn’t require a complex alarm system. Ring’s 8-piece kit is easy to install, even without following the unboxing instructions, making it ready to use in less than an hour. Set the security system to one of three simple settings and control what’s armed through the keypad or the secure Ring app on your phone or tablet.
Marketed as an alarm system for 1 to 2 bedroom homes, the Ring alarm kit comes with only four sensors. It’s easy to authorize the use of additional Z-wave devices and other users, through the control center’s secure authentication. The wireless coverage range is up to 2000 square feet, which likely includes more doors and windows that need sensors.
This kit doesn’t come with a camera, however, there is a Ring Alarm with an indoor security camera and a video doorbell for those who want virtual eyes on their home.
