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. I would use this to keep my home safe when I can’t be there. If we have a babysitter, it’s important to keep an eye on the house. If we are on vacation, it’s important to monitor the driveway for extra vehicles.

    • I have a large deck with two storage sheds on it and am concerned that some untrustworthy folks living in our community may wish to check things out there when I am away from home. It would be helpful to have the benefit of Ring Spotlight Wireless Outdoor 1080p IP Cameras to help keep an eye on things.

  3. We live on a place that there’s so much traffic and we always have our courier delivery left the package outdoor so the Right Floodlight cam is perfect some can see when delve is on the door, who is at the door and this will improve security in the house, also both sides back and front needed some security as both sides are traffic areas. Would love to have this in the house, dream unit, thank you

  4. After a break in last month in all the garages on the street I am getting more concerned that it will be the houses next time. Time to be more safe in my area.

  6. We get several deliveries a week to our home. .It would be nice to have a Ring doorbell to see when they arrive.

  9. The Ring Spotlight Wired Outdoor 1080p IP Camera would be great so I could see who (or what) is outside. I like the Siren Warning feature and the ability to live stream on my laptop.

  11. I would really use the spotlight camera to see who is around the house or at the door. This would discourage theft

  12. I would use the ring floodlight cam as I am out on the road a lot and I would like to know if someone is in my yard.
    Just want to make my home safe as possible.

  13. Definitely a floodlight Cam is need at our home. Our driveway is dark and the current camera we have doesnt even register any night activity.

  15. I would choose the Ring Spotlight Wireless Outdoor 1080p IP Camera – 2 Pack as there is forest/parkland on two sides of our house, so it would be great to have visual coverage, in case of a break-in.

  17. Ring Floodlight cam. I have a very dark back door connected with my driveway so being able to activate the external lights on the cameras as I approach my home for personal safety would be amazing

  18. The most pressing security concern would probably be multiple “front” doors on different ides of the house, and keeping an eye on each

  19. Ring Floodlight Cam for the side and back area and A Ring doorbell. I like the fact i could see who is at my door.

  20. It would have to be the Ring Alarm Wireless Security Kit, with two young kids at home I want to know they are safe.

  22. Our door bell has not worked since we moved into our home. My wife has been asking me to get a Ring doorbell.

  23. Ring floodllite cam would be a real asset as we have a large property and the garage is separated from the house.

  24. I like to know who is at my front door before I answer it. I don’t like having to waste time with sales people or JW’s. Nice to be able to check when I am away as well.

  26. We are looking to purchase our first home and would absolutely love the Ring Alarm Home Security Starter Kit to keep our home safe.

  27. would love to know who is at my front door when I am upstairs or downstairs without rushing over to see who is there. I do not open doors for random strangers so if I had Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Pro – Bilingual then it would help me be at ease without stressing out.

  28. The doorbell cam would be so great for me as I am a senior and getting to the door to see who is there is difficult for me.

  29. Ring floodllite cam would be so helpful for us as we are seniors and this would help with our security.

  32. I shop a lot online and often have parcels delivered to my front door. I am always worried that someone will steal something left out. The camera on the doorbell will give me so much peace of mind!

  33. We live on a green space and people think it’s ok to use the side of our house like a public pathway. It mean we have strangers coming up to our porch all the time. I never know if it’s the post man or someone cutting through. I’m up and down 500 times a day looking.

  34. My children at home alone I’m always concerned that they may open a door to a stranger so having the doorbell picture option is a great feature

  35. My most pressing issue is that I travel for work and would love the comfort of knowing my home and belongings are protected while I’m away for extended periods. The backyard is my primary security concern

  38. I’m concerned with package thieves and I think Ring Spotlight Wireless Outdoor 1080p IP Camera – 2 Pack – White would help.

  40. I’m looking into buying my first home, and I would like to protect it the best I could. So the Ring Alarm Starter Kit seems like a no-brainer for me.

  42. I’m home alone a lot and have anxiety, so I feel like Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Pro – Bilingual would make me feel more secure.
