This 8-Piece Ring Alarm Clock Set Is 40% Off
If you’re looking for a DIY home security system for your one- or two-bedroom home or apartment, you’ll want to check out this eight-piece ring alarm kit . It’s currently on sale for $149.99, which is 40% off the regular price of $329.99, which is the lowest price this kit has ever offered, according to price tracking tools . However, this deal is exclusively for Amazon Prime members, so you’ll need to subscribe to take advantage of it.
This alarm kit includes a base station, motion detector, keypad, four contact sensors and a range extender, giving you everything you need to get started with home security. To get it going, all you have to do is download the Ring app, connect the base station, place the sensors where you need them, and activate it with the app. It gives you three preset security modes to choose from: Home mode (which keeps external sensors active while internal ones are disabled), Away mode (which arms everything), and Disarm mode (which keeps all sensors disabled). (This PCMag review notes that you won’t receive any notifications or alerts while your system is in disarm mode.)
If you’re comfortable managing the monitoring and alerts yourself, you can skip the $20 monthly fee and take the DIY approach. But if you prefer the added peace of mind that comes with 24/7 professional monitoring and automatically dispatching authorities when needed, you’ll need to sign up for the Ring Protect Pro plan . This subscription also unlocks smart home integration with devices like Amazon Echo and Alexa, as well as compatibility with other Ring products.
For those looking for a home security system with greater third-party compatibility or integration with Apple HomeKit or Google Assistant, the Abode Iota is a good alternative, although it comes with a higher price tag of $329.99.
