According to our alarm system expert
The Ring Alarm Security Set is a 5-piece alarm system that protects your house in a smart way. Set up the base station, pair all of the sensors, and connect the system to the Ring app on your phone. You'll get notifications via the app if one of the sensors goes off. The system has a back-up battery that lasts 24 hours, so it keeps working even if the power is out. In addition, you can use the optional mobile back-up when the WiFi doesn't work either. The package has a base station, a control panel, a contact sensor, a motion detector, and a signal amplifier. You can easily expand the system with extra sensors. You can also connect additional Ring devices in your home, such as security camera or the Ring doorbell.
Note: you need a Ring Protect Plus subscription for assisted security. This costs € 10 per month after the 30-day trial period.

With the Ring Alarm, Ring is expanding its collection of security products, in addition to smart doorbells and security cameras. This alarm system consists of a base station and various sensors to monitor your home. So extra security, with the Ring Protect app at the center.
When I take the different parts of the alarm out of the box, I notice the well-known Ring design. I see the blue circle of the push button on the doorbell back at the base station. The sensors are made of white plastic, similar to the indoor cameras from the Stick Up Cam series. That looks a bit less robust than the doorbells, but these sensors don't have to hang outside either.
The installation seemed a lot of hassle in advance, but in practice it is not that bad. You first install the base station by connecting it to your home network, after which the firmware updates automatically. This only takes a few minutes. Linking the control panel, the signal amplifier and the sensors is then very fast. In the app, select the accessory you want to pair and follow the steps. Clear images and clear installation tips are provided at every step. After pairing, you can watch a short video about using the accessory.
The alarm starter pack includes a door sensor, motion sensor and signal amplifier. Because I live in a small apartment, that's enough for me. I place the door sensor with adhesive strips at the front door and the motion sensor in the living room. Actually, I don't even need the signal booster in my house. If you have a larger house, this starter pack is not enough to secure everything. Keep this in mind if you would like to equip multiple doors, windows or rooms with sensors.
The sensors respond quickly and send instant notifications via the Ring Protect app. If you set that you are not at home, the loud siren will go off after a short time when the sensors detect activity. So the alarm works fine. In addition, collaboration between Ring and Alexa (and thus voice control) is possible. The alarm is less suitable for smart homes based on Google Home.
The Ring Protect app regularly reports that you do not have a Protect Plus subscription. Without a subscription, "assisted monitoring" is not available. Your emergency contacts will then receive notifications in the event of a security problem. Personally, I think this functionality has too little added value for an investment. A subscription is especially interesting if you also have other Ring products, such as a doorbell or camera.

It is a very easy to install system, everything speaks for itself and the app guides you through the linking of the different parts. The alarm is easy to control and because of the SIM card it also works when the internet is off (already experienced it myself), for this you have to take out the Protect Plus subscription. In terms of range, I have had no problems, the sensors in the attic also connect directly. What I find very useful is that there is also a speaker in the keypad / control panel that sounds the alarm. So when you put this in your bedroom you are guaranteed to wake up :-). In terms of negatives, I only have two things; the app is sometimes a bit slow loading the control panel (switching on/off), because of this the alarm went off despite the arrival delay :)... Furthermore, I hope that Ring will invest in making more out of the box integrations with other smart home systems or with IFTTT.. I would like to connect my Hue lamps to the alarm and use my sonos as an extra alarm speaker.
