okay so now one on this guy right here I think it's
gonna be pretty loud I mean this is supposed to be an alarm system but we
can do a test on here to see how loud this thing is actually gonna be alright
here we go test is gonna go on for a few seconds and then turn off on its own so
let's see how loud this actually is oh
that was not what I expected at all that is a legit alarm that is loud right
there welcome back to another video it is lovely to see all of your smiling
faces again as you've already heard that silence is very effective but let's go
over some of the highlights that are listed on the box if we take a look at
the outside of the box we see that this is a whole house security system it is
easy to install there are no tools required because you can also use
double-sided sticky tape for most of the sensors this system is customizable and
expandable you can't have 24-hour professional monitoring there are no
long-term contracts and it is only $10 a month if you guys are interested in any
of the products that we're talking about I will have the links in the description
below so the ring system starts at a hundred and ninety nine dollars for a
five piece system and can go all the way up to four hundred and eighteen dollars
for the 14 piece set as we talked about earlier you can do professional
monitoring for 10 bucks a month or if you want to sign up for a full year it
is $100 for the protect Plus plan and that protect Plus plan includes covering
all cameras that you have added to your system so right now if you do not have
this plan and pay that $10 a month you're gonna be paying three dollars per
camera that includes any of the rain cameras or the ring video doorbell but
for ten bucks a month all of that will be included with this protective plus
coverage also included that plan is an extended warranty cloud recording for up
to 60 days allows you to review it share and
save your ring videos includes that professional monitoring that I talked
about and also as a 10% discount on the rain comm website alright so now I want
to compare it to its competitors if we take a look at nest so nessa cure has
packages starting as low as 399 and going all the way up to over $1,300
they've also teamed up with the Brinks security so for that plan you pay $19 a
month and that includes a three year contract if you don't want a three year
contract and you want to just pay month-to-month
there's gonna be $29 a month for no contract
another thing with nest is that you still have to pay per camera for cloud
recording which is up to $15 a month per camera alright so next up let's talk
about simply safe there's another big company in DIY security and they're sort
of hit starts as low as two hundred and twenty nine dollars and goes all the way
up to four hundred and eighty nine dollars for their kits now they are only
fifteen dollars a month with no contract but if you want to add the camera to
their system is gonna be an extra $5 a month per camera also keep in mind that
their cameras are not rated for outdoors so they would be indoor cameras only and
then lastly we've got the old-school ADT we're gonna be paying about $50 a month
that doesn't include any cameras and has a multi-year contract I did not get the
exact stats for ADT because I did not want to go through the pain of their
free consulting but I've talked to friends and that is what they are paying
they are paying $50 a month that includes no cameras and they are locked
into a multi-year contract alright now that we've talked about the competition
let's take a look at what comes inside this box so inside the box we start with
the bass and the bass has a built-in alarm has a backup battery and cellular
backup so if you do lose power your home security system is still active
particularly here we see the keypad which also has a built-in backup battery
and has nice big numbers that you can see everything clearly
now because this does have a backup battery you can keep it plugged in at
all times mounted to a wall or you can take it and set it on a countertop or
next to your bed or move it around so there are lots of different options with
these keypads you can also buy multiple of them if you want on one upstairs and
downstairs so the keypads are really nice and easy to use next up we have the
motion sensors so the motion sensor is pretty straightforward if it detects
motion you're just gonna go off it does have a little blue ring that goes off
every time it detects motion you can't turn that on and off within the app
preferably do you like mine on so that way I know when it is triggering and
then lastly we have the contact sensor so the contact sensors are actually
pretty big compared to other contact sensors out there but these that do also
have the built-in blue lights on it so you can see when it's going on and off
and one thing that I really like about this system is that anytime a contact
sensor is opened the base station will chime so that is very handy when you
have little kids to know when a front door back to our garage door or even
window is opened this base station will chirp so as we mentioned before that we
saw on the back of the box that there are no tools required for this
installation however it does come with mounting brackets for everything so if
you do want to take a screwdriver and screw these into the wall you can do
that because they do have brackets for that or they just have the double-sided
sticky tape one thing I really like about this system is that you don't have
to run wires throughout your house to get any of this stuff to work it all
works through Wi-Fi everything has battery backups on it it just feels like
such a secure system but on the other hand is so easy to set up let's take a
look at the app now now the app is super straightforward to use you're gonna use
the same ring app that you use for any of your cameras or your ring video
doorbell so you're gonna have your three options on top for disarmed
home in a way you can also change that on the keypad by putting in the
four-digit pin that you've created and selecting each one of those around the
circle on the keypad inside of the app if you want to go into more features of
each device you could tap the three dashes in the top left corner to get to
the menu from there you're going to go to devices then you're gonna select your
security system and you're going to see each of your devices there you can
select any of your devices and customize them as you need to so in addition to
arming the system through the keypad you could also do that through the app so
how the professional monitoring system works is that if your alarm is triggered
it would give the primary number that you provided a phone call first what's
nice is that they provide that number so you can put it into your contacts and
have it listed as a ring security so that way you know that the call is
coming directly from them they will give the primary number a call twice
nobody answers they will call this secondary line twice if nobody answers
there that is when they call out the police to come check out what's going on
I've had my system up and running for almost a month now I haven't had any
false alarms I haven't had anyone come out so I haven't really tested that
aspect of it which I never hoped to test that out hmm I got too cocky and it
looks like I spoke too soon because now the police are here but we can salvage
this okay so as you guys saw the police just the left and I did ask them a few
questions about alarm systems so I asked him how many were false alarms and how
many were actual emergencies and he did say that about 95% of alarms that go off
are false alarms now he did also mention that what causes the false alarms is if
you've got say a window vibration sensor dog barks we'll set those off on really
windy days where you have that door sensor and the door rattles that can
disconnect and connect to the alarm to go on it off and that they get a lot of
false alarms on windy days when I asked him if he had any kind of security
system he did mention that he does have arlo cameras he personally loves having
cameras at home and says that it is very helpful on the field when they have to
go to a situation and somebody can bring up footage and see what actually
happened in that situation so in addition to this ring security system
security cameras are very important and not only will it help you know what's
going on but it does also help the police in solving crimes but all in all
I would say that this is a really solid system the alarm is super loud even with
all my windows closed you can definitely hear this outside the house if somebody
breaks into the house that siren is scaring them out of here for sure
it will notify everybody in my neighborhood that something is going on
it is so loud but between the phone calls and the text and me being able to
control the system from my smartphone I would say that this is a must-have if
you were looking for a security system compared to anything else that is out
there this thing is a steal I mean starting at $200
- ten bucks a month plus you get a 10% discount on their website it's kind of a
no-brainer if you guys are looking for a home security system
this is definitely the one to get so now I have a question for you guys did this
video change your mind about this system is this something that you would pick up
or is there another system that you guys like better leave a comment below let me
know what you think if there are any questions that you guys have that I did
