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.

  2. Protecting my home is always my concern. Being able to monitor activity outside my home would give me peace of mind.

  3. the Ring Spotlight Wireless Outdoor 1080p IP Camera would be wonderful as I would feel more secure knowing I had outdoor surveillance

  5. It seems that more door to door sales people present later at night or during dinner hours I would love to see who was at the door before opening it

  10. It would be great to have this security after being home invaded close to two years ago, my safety in my own place is always on mind. Thank you Best Buy for the opportunity to win!

  13. Since the passing of her husband, my mother-in-law has been the victim of identify fraud, and theft of her garage door opener from her vehicle. She needs security camera(s) and a video doorbell to help her adjust to living alone in her home and deter future burglaries.

  14. I have had people vandalize my property so the Ring Spotlight Wireless Outdoor 1080p IP Camera would help with evidence to forward to police in the future

  17. We have people stealing mail in our neighbourhood. I would love to get the doorbell camera to see who is coming onto the porch!

  18. My most pressing home security concern is feeling I’m protected around my home…not just at the front entrance. Ring seems like it can have multiple directions to protect my home like the front door, back door and works on my phone so I can everything out really quickly!

  20. Safety at my house is always a concern. I parent a person with an intellectual disability who would benefit from knowing if the person at the door is a stranger or a safe friend.

  21. Our neighbourhood is having a major issue with packages being stolen off doorsteps so the Ring doorbell camera would be very helpful

  23. We have a neighbor who can be unpredictable and is regularly in contact with the cops. So, it would be great to have much better security just in case. Thanks for the chance!

  24. We currently have a really dark drive way and walk way but my real concern is a move up to the country Spring 2019, when I think I’ll be a little more concerned about security and wild life.

  25. Thieves that are coming around at dusk. The Ring spotlight wireless outdoor camera would not only tape them, but cast light on them as well.

  28. My most pressing home security concern is intruders rummaging through our vehicle – I think the Ring Floodlight Cam would be best suited to resolve that!! Thanks for the generous contest & chance to win.

  29. We have a very secluded side door that could use a camera. To see who’s knocking would be a very useful tool

  31. Knowing who is knocking at my front door is my most pressing home security concern. The Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Elite would be best suited to resolve my concerns.

  33. We have a very dark backyard with a large fence to keep people out but not skunks. It would be great to have a camera with a light to check things out before we ley the dog out!

  34. We have no view from inside of our basement door and door to our outbuilding, so could not see if someone enters that way. The Ring Floodlight Cam would provide us with more security.

  46. I like to know who is at my door so this would be so great to have..it would make me feel safer also..
    Also, if I get home and it’s dark, having the security light come on would make me feel better..

  49. Would love some security at our house as we are in a rural area and it would be great to have the Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Pro to be able to see who is there when we are not. Thanks
