Certified Refurbished Ring Alarm 13-piece kit

I experienced a false alarm due to the update which ruined the alarm equipment. There was no audible or visible alarm siren or lights, and no call from the monitoring department. The only indication of an alarm was the police showing up at my door, resulting in a false alarm bill for $400. This negative feedback is regarding the alert accuracy feature of DIY home security systems.

The home base notifies of all open and close events detected by the sensors, which may be overwhelming for some. However, the controller app is easy to navigate and allows customization of sensor settings to minimize or turn off notifications.

I have noticed two major flaws in the security system. The first flaw is the absence of a vacation mode option, which means the schedule will turn on/off the alarm while out of town. The second flaw is the motion alert that announces 'you're being recorded' cannot be snoozed. My review expresses negative feedback regarding the alert accuracy feature of DIY home security systems.
