Questions & Answers
When the dogs are at home, we set the alarm to Home mode, which disables the motion sensors in favor of door and window sensors. That is the workaround that we discovered to be the most beneficial.
No, it did not work in Colombia; the mobile app blocks the device when it detects IP addresses from countries other than the United States.

No matter how tall you are, the motion sensors will work. If you have a two-story home, motion sensors and contacts are usually installed on the first floor. You can always order more contacts or sensors if you need them.

We bought this to keep a teen from sneaking out of their room in the middle of the night because he was sneaking out and I was tired of worrying so we bought it and now I'm finally getting a full night's sleep I'm not up a million times checking on him he's behaving I'm sleeping it's a win win everything worked great was super easy to install and even sets up with Alexa very easily we now have our entire home updated and is a smart house.
The system appears to be in excellent condition, the equipment is reasonably priced, and the monitoring is exceptional. Negative aspects- I've had problems with a sensor that set off the alarm a couple of times despite the fact that the door was not open and that it was properly installed. Support requested that I uninstall it and reinstall it. I'm hoping this isn't the last time it happens. Minor issues with the user interface- I don't like that the keypad requires you to enter the pin before arming, and that you must press another button to disarm after entering the pin. My guests and family members have been confused by the unintuitive interface, which has led to false alarms. The app has excellent controls.
I've had other alarm systems and I'm very pleased with how east this sun was to set up. So far, I've never had a reason to call the cops, but Ring does the exact same thing for a third of the initial cost and monthly bill of those other companies. br>br>I wish the door and window sensors had a glass break sensor, but if they're connected to Alexa, Alexa can apparently detect glass breaking and alert you. The integration with Alexa, on the other hand, was a little tricky, and you'd need an Alexa for each room. Although I have one in almost every room, not everyone wants or can afford an Alexa in every room. As a result, it's possible that this isn't an option. In addition, it appears that if glass is broken, the alarm does not sound. It simply sends you an alert. br>br>It was simple to set up everything. The app is simple to use and gives you a great deal of control. However, it can be overwhelming at times. The one issue I have is that after I installed a camera in my living room, it removed my ring doorbell from my list of devices, but it continues to send me notifications when people walk by or ring my doorbell. If I wanted to, I could simply set it to actively monitor my door.
Installing it was a breeze. It was surprisingly simple to set up, almost plug-and-play. The only thing I would say negatively about the unit is that I also have a ring doorbell, and they both use the same app, so they get along fine. is there a charge for monitoring? It isn't very costly - Although it is less expensive than the competition, when combined with ring subscriptions, it becomes prohibitively expensive. Self-monitoring was something I wanted to do - For example, if someone sets off the alarm, I call the cops after receiving a notification on my phone - which is available for no cost.
Even if your alarm is set to HOME and your motion sensor is located indoors on the app, any motion detected on it will set off the alarm, and your unfortunate neighbors will hear it. As a result, I only use the HOME setting at night when everyone is asleep and I won't be able to turn it off. But aside from that, it's just everything I wanted and liked. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative I don't pay for the Ring protection plan because I can get notifications on my phone if anything happens while I'm gone and make my own calls. Even if I didn't have the plan, I could still use Ring's app to receive neighborhood alerts!.
The company Ring is fantastic. Professional monitoring is an excellent service; they contacted me within 30 seconds after my alarm was accidentally activated at 11 p. m. Professional and effective service. It is very simple to set up the entire system.
If you want to watch the recorded feed, you'll have to pay a monthly fee that wasn't mentioned at the start. It's deceptive advertising to claim that it's free when all you get is a live feed.
The indoor camera's microphone was never functional. And by the time we realized it didn't work, it was too late to return it, which was unfortunate, but the rest of the equipment functions perfectly. The mics on indoor ring cameras are choppy and don't always work, according to many people who own them.
