About Ring Alarm 5-piece kit
Overall Feedback:
87% positive
77% were impressed with alert accuracy, however 23% weren't
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.
When I tested the alarm, it was not audible to neighbors and sounded like a children's toy.
I am dissatisfied with the alert accuracy of the DIY home security system. I was repeatedly woken up between 3-6am with a false alarm from a faulty sensor.
72% appreciated the customization options, yet 28% didn't
I can add additional users and guests with their own code, making it easy to avoid sharing codes.
I have noticed that the motion alert announcing 'you're being recorded' cannot be snoozed. I have to remember to turn it back on as there is no preset snooze option. It is annoying to turn it off manually and I usually forget to turn it back on.
There is no vacation mode option in the system, so if I have a routine scheduled, my alarm will turn on/off while I'm out of town. I can't figure out why they haven't fixed this.
75% found easy integration with smart home devices
The Ring alarm system integrates well with the Ring app, Ring doorbell, and Amazon Echo device. I have experienced the integration with smart home devices.
