I accidentally locked myself out of my house on a Friday evening.  A kind neighbor called Top At Locksmith  LLC they were able to respond within a few hours.  The technician was professional and proficient and had the door open within a matter of minutes. Thanks  for saving  me

I lost my keys while going on a run. I called Top Atlanta Locksmith LLC and the tech was fast, efficient, and professional. Oh and reasonably priced. I scoured the web for quotes and they were the lowest in price.

Ring Home Security System Review

The Good The Ring Home Security System is easy to install, simple to manage, and priced competitively at $199 with optional professional monitoring and other extra accessories available a la carte at great prices.

The Bad Limited selection of interoperable security and automation devices

The Bottom Line This home security system offers a great introduction into home automation systems with its inexpensive and simple basic package, but complex systems are difficult to set up.

Overview

Ring, owned by Amazon as of writing this, offers a basic package for designed to cover a small area of up to 1000 square feet. The 5-piece security kit comes with a base station, a keypad, a door/window sensor, a motion sensor and a Z-Wave range extender, a device that extends the range of the communications between the devices. This basic package is $199; the intermediate, 10-piece package is yours for $259; the 14-piece package includes 8 total door/window sensors plus an additional keypad and motion detector for $329.

This home alarm system is a great “no-frill” option that is easy to assemble and install. The system can be easily expanded by adding additional sensors, motion detectors, and keypads. 

Additional Add-On Options

This basic kit is a great foundation to build a comprehensive home automation system. Easily pair your system with Ring Video Doorbells and Ring Security Cams, Alexa-enabled devices and third-party alarm accessories for one complete system. Smoke & carbon monoxide listeners and sensors for floods and freezes are also available add-ons.

Ring also offers professional monitoring services at an unmatched price: up to $10 per month with an option to prepay $100 for an annual protection plan. That is likely cheaper than your monthly Netflix subscription, gym membership, or a night at the movies.

Instant Alerts, Two-way Talk, Customized Motion Sensors, Infrared Night Vision, Multiple Power and Installation Options, Neighborhood Watch, Support for Mobile and Desktop Devices.

Final Notes
