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.

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!

There increasing vandalism in our neighborhood and the ring video doorbell would give us better peace of mind and also keep an eye on the deliveries.
The Ring Spotlight Wireless Outdoor 1080p IP Camera would help me keep an eye on our yard as well as our vehicles
My concern is keeping an eye on our property when we are not at home. I would love the Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Pro to help with this
The Ring Outdoor wi-fi wireless camera would be good for me. I have a largish back-yard, and it would help me see any prowlers.
Having the security of a video doorbell would be an awesome addition to our family home!
I would love to upgrade my current video doorbell 1st gen to video doorbell Pro. Recently,there have been break-in incidents in my neighborhood and having a more capable security solution would give me peace of mind. My current ring doorbell 1st Gen is good and amazingly affordable but it’s only 720p and would be nice to capture a higher definition footage once there are people in from if my door when I’m away.
great prize
I would use the camera to ensure noone in my area is stealing packages and also to ensure i do not open the door to solicitors.
We live in an area where it is easy to slip onto and off our property without being seen. I would love to have a camera to help us keep an eye on our property.
Would love to have the Video Doorbell, we like to travel so would give us some piece of mind
Biggest concern is who is eating our veggies in the garden. Either an animal or someone is taking small bites and leaving the veg behind as slap in the face
The video doorbell would be awesome living in not the safest neighborhood it will certainly add a better sense of security.
I’d like a spotlight cam for the dark spots in the yard
My most pressing home security concern is getting my packages stolen from the front steps so the Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Elite would be the best product suited to resolve that problem!
Hi!
My family of four would feel much better and secure if we had motion sensors!
we love RING!
A spotlight cam would definitely make our family feel safer.
I’d use the system less for security than fun – as a fellow gulf islander I’d love to see what the local deer and raccoons are getting up to around our house!
The Ring Video Doorbell would be great to see who is at the door
This would be wonderful! We live in not the safest neigborhood (our cars been broken into a few times), and having a security camera would be great for peace of mind!
My concern is to see who is at the door
I am 71 and live alone in a condo with treed courtyards all around. The courtyard lights are far away and quite dim. I would feel safer if I could have a motion light at the front door and at the back patio door.
We are having such a problem with theft in the neighborhood and I’m often home alone while my husband travels so this would bring so much peace of mind for us!
our front door is more in the back away from the street very dark and I do not like to answer the door at dark
We have a problem in our neighborhood with car break-ins. It’s happened to my husband. The Ring Spotlight Cam would be very useful.
My wife doesn’t feel safe opening the front door when she can’t see who it is. The video doorbell would be awesome.
We have no yard light and live in the country so knowing who comes on our property is a concern which could be solved with the Ring Floodlight Cam.
I guess my pool just do not want others in at night time and just to be safe with it.. the lights would scare anyone away and I would be feeling safer with extra security in the home
I don’t live in a majorly bad area but almost nightly people post on facebook about people having their cars stolen or doors on their cars checked. I would love to have doorbell camera that faces the street for this reason.
Back onto a park and in an area near downtown with a lot of university rentals. Always a lot of random people wandering through.
A ring video doorbell would be extremely beneficial for me, since I’m often home alone and worry about answering the door. I would love to have that extra security.
Ring home security as I have two small kids and want them to be safe especially when my husband is away.
I live in an older home with a closed in front porch. I cannot see the front door from in the inside of my house. It would be great to have that extra pair of eyes to help me feel secure. Its scary when the doorbell rings you never know these days
My parents are getting older and it is harder to see objects at night. This camera would really help them see outside when someone is ringing the doorbell after dark.
Seems to be an increase in vandalism and break-ins and we would like to get a spot light camera and video doorbell.
It would be nice to see who is coming up to our door, whether we’re at home or not, so either the Video Doorbell Pro or Video Doorbell 2 would be nice.
All would be useful but the Ring video doorbell would work the best, for my home, as we have no window near our front door.
Having a video record of who’s around my property, day and night is a valuable benefit, as is the possible reduction in insurance premiums.
The stairs to my front door need a security system and light.
I thought I posted but do not see my comment. Not trying to cheat.) I was broken into. So I think the Ring alarm system would be great.
My neighborhood has pretty high foot traffic so, my concerns are related to home security and general safety. The Ring Home Security would alleviate these concerns throughout the day.

My biggest concern is a lot of theft on my block.
I would love to have the 2 Spotlight Cams, 2 Ring Doorbells (a Video Doorbell 2, and a Video Doorbell Pro), and Ring Alarm Wireless Home Security for 24 hour security for my family. Our neighbourhood used to be safer.
Theft has increased in the small city we live in, hearing a lot about break ins, a camera would be an asset.
