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. Instead it might be much larger, so you are looking for something like Ring Home Security to protect your family throughout your home, at all hours of the day.

WHAT YOU CAN WIN

At the end of the contest we will draw 2 winners. One winner will receive the second place prize that includes a Spotlight Cam and a Video Doorbell 2. The other winner will get the grand prize which includes 2 Spotlight Cams, 2 Ring Doorbells (a Video Doorbell 2, and a Video Doorbell Pro), and Ring Alarm Wireless Home Security!

This contest runs from October 12th until October 25th.

Remember you can only enter once. However, you probably know someone who would love to add some fantastic Ring smart security products to their home, so please share this contest and they too will have a chance to win one of these prizes.

  1. I just ordered a Ring doorbell. It’s nice to see what’s happening outside the house and to answer anyone who comes to the door. I have one in Florida, and enjoy the neighbour hood news alerts. It’s a great product and I now feel comfortable leaving home. I no longer have any pressing concerns, however upgrading would be nice.

  2. It is great to have it to monitor the front door this day for the mail parcel the lawn care people and shovel and all the delivery too and all the un expected guest. thank i would like to enter the contest tks

  3. Honestly, I can see perks for all these products! I work nights and having a light system for when I get home would be really helpful (not to mention help scare away any unwanted visitors during the night when I’m not home) but also knowing who’s at the door when I’m trying to sleep during the day I think would be the biggest asset.

  4. This would be ideal not for me, but my elderly parents. Knowing that they are safe and secure would give me and my siblings the piece of mind while they’re at home (doorbell and cam). While they’re away or traveling being able to monitor the house remotely (smart home security and cams) will also be a handy tool to keep an eye on things.

  5. Outdoor security is necessary in my neighbourhood. I would make use of the RING spotlight surveillance kit.

  6. My most pressing concern is keeping my family safe so a security camera at the front and back door would help me feel safe.

  7. A video doorbell would be a great addition to my smart home as I shop online and packages are often left on my doorstep.

  8. My most pressing concern is seeing who’s at the door before answering. A Ring Doorbell camera would be perfect.

  9. The Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Pro would be great to see who is at the door as my most pressing concern is that I would like to see who is on the other side of the door before I open it. Right now, I have to go into the living room, peek through the blinds and hope they don’t see me doing this!!

  10. The outdoor security cameras & lights along with the doorbell plus camera from ring would be great. We had someone attempt to break into our car in the driveway last year and Ring security items would make me feel safer if there is another incident and could even help catch the culprit.

  11. My most pressing thing would be knowing who I am opening my door to in advance. For that reason the Video Doorbell Pro would be the most beneficial.

    Thanks! Hope to win 🙂

  12. The Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Pro would be great to see who is at the door as I can’t reach to see our peephole.

  13. I would to win this.. It wouldean that my hun and wouldn’t have get up to answer the door… He is disabled and would really be a big help for him especially when he is alone in the house..
    My fingers are crossed for luck
    Thank you.

  14. I would like a Ring Spotlight Wireless Outdoor Camera – my neighborhood has several incidents of people breaking into cars that are parked right in our driveways. A camera would assist in finding the culprits. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  15. In the past our residence was broken into.That was a total violation. We would love not to worry about our home when we are away and we can keep our two cats safe as well

  16. Love to have the Ring Flood Light Cam set up as our driveway is a “black hole” and it sure would help getting in and out of my car with stuff!

  17. I have a crazed neighbour who kills my trees and until I can catch him on camera the police can’t charge him.

  18. I want to know who is at my house when I am home and away. The doorbell will certainly help make me and my family safe.

  19. The #1 priority is preventing breakins while we are out. A camera at the front and side doors would be great to win.

  20. My most pressing concern is keeping my family safe so a security camera at the front and back door would help me feel safe.

  21. The Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Elite would solve the problem of not knowing who is at the door before I open it. These days you can’t be too careful!

  22. My most pressing concern is people trying to break in while no ones at home. I think a cmera at the front door would be a good deterrent
