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. Love to add this to my home for video security. It will be provided to authorities in their search to apprehend culprit.

  3. Between my wife and I, there is no shame in admitting we online shop a lot. Packages are almost always left on our front doorstep mid-morning and we don’t get home from work until about 5. It’s probably only a matter of time before a package is stolen! That is my most pressing security concern at the moment and a Ring video doorbell 2 would definitely help with that!

  6. Right now my most pressing concern is a rash of garage break ins, including mine. So one of the cameras would be my choice.

  8. The Ring Video doorbell would be great for seeing who is at the door as i get a lot of parcels left at my front door and many never arrive or are taken from my porch

  9. I believe having the cameras to cover the poorly lit side an rear of the house would be excellent for me. Additionally being able to view anyone at the door would be a relief.

  15. My biggest concern is making sure my family is safe and Ring Home Security would definitely help with that

  16. Would love to get the Ring Spotlight Wireless Outdoor 1080p IP Camera for my backyard. Just for peace of mind

  18. My greatest concern is that we live on a street with a drug house. A security spotlight cam would be great and perhaps help to scare some people away.

  20. Living alone, I worry about opening the door. I think the Ring Spotlight Wired Outdoor 1080p IP Camera is the product for my needs.

  21. The Ring Video doorbell would be great for seeing who is at the door especially as a stay at home mom.

  22. I need Ring’s Floodlight IP Cam – there had been car break-ins in our neighbourhood, so this will give me peace of mind that my driveway is monitored!

  25. I am a stay at home parent, and I always feel nervous when someone comes to the door during the day when I am alone with the kids. A Ring Video 2 would be so helpful (and is on my Christmas list!)

  26. There have been a number of break-ins to vehicles in people’s driveways so I’d love to have the Ring Spotlight Wireless Outdoor 1080p IP Camera to light up my driveway and record it as well

  27. There have been break ins in the neighbourhood. I am concerned about this and would love the camera to see who is at the door and keep eyes on things when I cannot be home!

  28. I am concerned about vandalism since I live in a busy area. The Ring Floodlight Cam would help prevent potential issues

  29. JUST WOULD GIVE ME A LEVEL OF SECURITY IF THERE IS A CAMERA AT THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE HOUSE. IT SEEMS THAT POLICE WON’T DO ANYTHING UNLESS ONE HAS PHOTO OR FOOTAGE OF PERSON IN AND AROUND HOUSE IN ACTION.

  31. To me the convenience and security of not needing keys is important as my wife and I get older. Also the convenience of being able to open the door to deliveries or visitors is a time saver.

  34. It’s really dark in the back of the garden and it is isolated so a security camera would be a great idea.

  35. My major security concern is my Mother who lives on her own on a busy street. Having the Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell 2 installed at her front door would allow me to remotely monitor who has been at her front door as well as communicate with them.

  36. My security concern is my family and our vehicles parked in the driveway. The Ring Floodlight Cam would help me capture any vandalism acts on my property in my busy neighbourhood.

  37. The Ring Spotlight Wireless Outdoor 1080p IP Camera would give me peace of mind by monitoring my family and my car parked on the driveway as my home is situated right beside a somewhat busy street.

  38. My most pressing security concern are intruders who want to break into my car parked on my driveway, and I think the Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Pro would alleviate my concerns since I can be notified of any motion detected on my driveway.

  45. I’d like to know who is ringing my doorbell when I am not home – the ring video doorbell would be perfect for that!

  46. I’d like to know who’s at my exterior doors when I’m not nearby. The Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Pro would do the trick!
