Smart home security brand, Ring has announced the launch of its affordable, easy-to-install security system, Ring Alarm, in South Africa. A sleek, customisable and easy to install smart home security system, the second generation Ring Alarm offers commitment-free home security where it’s needed most, keeping you connected to your property when you are both home and away.
Ring Alarm works as a stand-alone product for anyone looking to add an easy-to-install alarm system to their home. For that extra layer of security, integrate Ring Alarm with Ring Video Doorbells and Security Cameras in the Ring app, so that when the alarm sounds, it will automatically trigger all Ring cameras to begin recording (when subscribed to a Ring Protect plan), even if they do not detect motion. Ring Alarm also works with select Alexa-enabled devices, so users can arm, disarm, and check the status of their alarm with simple voice commands.
PriceCheck tip: While most security systems require a wired connection, these days, there are many wireless options that can be set up in minutes. Check out PriceCheck’s wireless security listings for a variety of deals and prices on home safety products.
Simply use the Ring app to connect the Base Station via WiFi or Ethernet, install the Contact Sensors on the doors and/or windows of your choice, and place the Motion Detectors to monitor for movement. Customers can utilise one-touch buttons on the Ring Alarm Keypad to sound the alarm or to activate Assisted Monitoring (with Ring Protect Plus) and notify three preset contacts that there is a medical emergency or fire. Plus, the Keypad’s Modes buttons make it easy for customers to set their alarm to one of three modes – Disarmed, Home, or Away Mode, as needed. Ring Alarm has compact easy-to-mount sensors to fit into smaller spaces, for added convenience and flexibility where it’s needed most.
By combining Ring Alarm with Ring Video Doorbells and Security Cameras in and around the home, customers can customise a comprehensive whole-home security system that best suits their setup.
The Ring Alarm Security Kit (5-piece kit) is available at a recommended price of R3,999.99 and includes: Keypad, 1 Contact Sensor (for a window or door), 1 Motion Detector, and Range Extender.
By subscribing to Ring Protect Plus, customers can enjoy Assisted Monitoring, cellular backup and 30 days of video storage, which is a paid service to stay connected and protected at all times. With Ring Protect Plus in place, customers can benefit from: Assisted Monitoring to enable automated calls to three emergency contacts during an Alarm event; cellular backup for Ring Alarm Base Station in case the internet goes down; 30 days of cloud video recording for all Ring devices in one location.
