I have had Simplisafe for over a year now, its a decent system and simple to install. The doorbell they have has been ok, but has gotten much better over time with stability but still not 100% (nothing ever is I know). Family we talk to has setup Ring camera outside with a doorbell and two outdoor ones, they love them and the community features. I was surprised Ring has a alarm system. Now Simplisafe is good, but lacks one major thing: outdoor cameras. So infuriating to me that I can’t get some, and the only solution is to buy a simplicam for $100 and put a $20 outdoor covering on it and I refuse. No lights on it, nothing.
I saw systems for Ring on sale at costco and was about to get one, replace the door bell as well and then add the outdoor cameras and lights. So questions to the community:
-
How stable is the Ring Alarm sytstem?
-
How is the professional monitoring and response?
-
Can anybody compare to other systems not only Simplisafe?
-
Keypad, I don’t want it plugged up how long the battery last on a charge?
-
Any issues with the system that stand out?
I don’t mind the glass break sensor missing or keyfob missing, I would add a glass break sensor but with the community asking I bet Ring will add one soon. Thank you.
