Ring is my favourite home security manufacturer. I’ve tried many. When my children were young I had a complete Brinks alarm system in my home, which worked fine, but was pricey. Since then, however, smart home products have become the most popular solution due to the low cost, high dependability, and—well let’s face it, smart home products are very cool! Enter this contest and Ring will have your home covered with some great home security products.
What makes Ring really smart
My top 3 favourite things about Ring are the ease of use, the great notifications, and the customer service. Ease of use of the app and the devices is just one really smart thing about Ring. I started adding Ring products to my home on Mayne Island about 15 months ago. They are so easy to install! I now have 2 outdoor security lights; one over the entrance to my carport, and one at the side of the house overlooking the main driveway to the house. I also have a video doorbell at the front door, and one at the backdoor. These work seamlessly with the Ring app on my phone: I can easily switch from one camera to the other at any time to see what is happening at the location. Also, I can activate the external lights on the cameras as I approach my home for personal safety.
Notifications work great and keep improving. When I first started using Ring, I was annoyed that notifications seemed spotty: sometimes the action that triggered the notification was over before the camera started recording. However, Ring keeps improving their app and their products, so that issue is a thing of the past. That brings me to one of the smartest things about Ring: responsive customer service! As I said I have used many different smart home products from many manufacturers, and Ring is probably the best at customer service. Just to be clear, I did not ever present myself to them as the Editor-in-Chief at Best Buy, one day likely to write an article about their products. I just told them that i am Martin, living on a little island off the coast of British Columbia.
Why did I contact them? I made an error (totally my fault) and broke the backing plate of the camera. Within a few days of explaining my problem, I had the part at my home, and the camera was installed in minutes. As I said, great service!
What are your smart home concerns
Why did I go into so much detail about their service? Well, Ring has recently started offering a home security package, with home monitoring of entry points, and keypads, motion detectors—everything you expect from home security. I have not tested this product yet, but given what I’ve learned about Ring, I expect that they will offer great service here as well.
So, tell me what are you looking for to make your home smart? Are you very concerned about the service you get? Perhaps you are most interested in getting some cameras around your home, or smart doorbells, or something else. One thing I forgot to mention is the great subscription package they offer. Most of the main home security companies require a subscription to get the most from their products. I love that with Ring, one very low price covers everything: video storage from all of the devices at your home, and home monitoring if you have their Wireless Home Security Alarm. All of it … one low monthly price. Now that is very smart!
HOW TO ENTER
Entering this contest is really easy but you can only enter once. In a comment below, tell us what your most pressing home security concern is, and what Ring product you think would be best suited to resolve that. Your problem might be a dark driveway, solved by a camera with a light.

Living in the country outdoor camera would be great.
I’d like the spotlight camera for my driveway. I can’t see it easily from the front door and I’d like to be able to see if a friend has arrived to pick me up.
A doorbell camera so I can safely see who is at the door
There is a dognapper in my area and I’m scared the family dog will be robbed in broad daylight!!. In addition there are random cats that wander into my backyard sometimes to destroy our garden. The outdoor camera with motion detecting would be perfect.
Outdoor camera which would be perfect by our front driveway gates.
the door bell cam. I have a daughter thats scared to answer the door when im away from the house and this would be amazing!
Ideally, I would love to have the whole Ring Home Security package; however, if I had to make a choice, it would be the “Wireless Home Security Alarm” as I am NOT a light sleeper and my biggest fear is I will be trapped upstairs in my bedroom without being able to get out safely if anyone gains entry. Alternatively, entry is gained and I will simply not hear anything at all and my house is ransacked. This system looks amazing and would certainly put my mind at ease. Thanks for the opportunity.
we live on one acre, full of trees, very dark at night as there are no street lights. I hear all kinds of noises sometimes at night in the back yard from my bedroom, i would like to know ‘who’ visits then with a camera…we also have a long driveway up to our house and also to be safe i would like to know who is at our door before going to open it!

My most pressing need is outdoor security. This year alone I had several solar lights go missing, several beautiful potted flowers and on several occasions and most concerning to me was the empty liquor bottles left overnight on my front porch. As a female living alone this is absolutely terrifying to me.
