id="cnetReview" section="rvwBody" data-component="indepthReview"> Ring's $199 Z-Wave-enabled Alarm Security Kit is so simple you might overlook it at first. The system includes a base station, camisetas futbol baratas a keypad, a door/window sensor, a motion sensor and a Z-Wave range extender. It's all basic hardware with basic functionality -- you won't find any fancy features here -- but the Security Kit is super simple to set up and monitor in the Ring mobile app.
You can add additional Ring door/window sensors and motion sensors to scale up the system as needed; the kit also works with a FirstAlert smoke and carbon monoxide detector. But that's about it, for now. Ring plans to add additional sensors at a later date and has hinted at upcoming partnerships with major third-party platforms like Alexa and Google Assistant. But considering Amazon bought Ring back in February, this system should really already work with Alexa and the Amazon Cloud Cam (it doesn't).
Even so, the Ring Alarm Security Kit is a terrific entry-level home security system at a superb price. Strongly consider it if you want a simple DIY system with optional professional monitoring for $10 per month.
Ring's security system is currently only available in the US. At today's exchange rate, $199 converts to roughly £150 and AU$270.
