Why has Ring decided to take away the current 27/7 professional monitoring from existing Ring Protect Plus customers in 2025?When this happens the price of the Ring Protect Plus does not go down, and not only that, the only Ring professional monitoring option will cost each customer an additional $100 per year! This is just wrong…Please explain…

    The price was too good to be true, but probably intentional to get you to add on the alarm if you already had Ring cameras. You're already paying $100/yr for the camera plan, why not add the alarm system for just the initial cost of the alarm hardware? Worked for me; I just added the alarm, having had Ring cameras for a couple years now.This is a price increase, pure and simple, with a 3-4 year grace period so that existing customers don't immediately churn out.The question will be -- it was worth an extra $100/year. Am I getting $200 of value? I guess I have a few years to make a decision, at which point it may be worth moving on to the "next generation" of cameras and alarms, be it with Ring or someone else.

      Hopefully by then there will be the next new alarm vendor that just offers basic monitoring.

          What a ripoff and deceptive strategy. A lot of folks have invested a ton of $ in various devices upfront due to the lower subscription rates...with the increase, doesn't make sense for me to choose your service. Many competitors bear the cost of most equipment and provide similar monthly prices. You
