Designed for single- or double-bedroom homes or apartments, this kit includes a base station, range extender, motion detector, four contact sensors, and a keypad-everything you need to get started. Setting up the system is simple: Just download the Ring app, plug in the base station, place the sensors where needed, and activate them. The system offers three security modes: Home mode keeps outdoor sensors active while ignoring indoor ones, away mode arms all sensors, and disarm mode turns everything off. Just a heads up, according to this PCMag review, when the system is in disarm mode, it doesn't send you notifications-a potential drawback if you rely on alerts.

Speaking of alerts, if you're fine with handling alerts yourself, you can skip the $20 monthly fee and opt for DIY monitoring. But if you'd rather not play security guard, the Ring Home Premium plan offers 24/7 professional monitoring with automatic emergency dispatch. This subscription also unlocks integration with Amazon Echo, Alexa, and other Ring devices, giving your system a bit more versatility. That said, if you're big on third-party compatibility-say with Apple HomeKit or Google Assistant-you'll find this kit lacking. For that, the Abode Iota is a solid alternative, though at $299.99 (down from $329.99), it's a bigger investment.
