From CNET: Ring has a second-gen version of its Alarm Security Kit. Like the original system, the five-piece starter kit includes a hub, a keypad, one door/window sensor, one motion sensor and one range extender -- and it works with Ring's doorbells and cameras. And it still costs just $200.
You'll notice subtle design differences between the original and the new version. Ring says it added "one-touch buttons" to the keypad to quickly contact law enforcement and other first responders. The Amazon smart home company also updated both the door/window sensors and the motion sensors, making them "smaller and easier to mount," according to a Ring blog post published Thursday.
Add on a Ring Protect Plus plan for $10 a month for a professional monitoring subscription. Like other DIY security brands, you can cancel whenever you want, no early termination fees included. There's no contract associated with the system or the professional monitoring service.
While the system is designed to be installed by you, Ring works with a couple third-party installers if you need help. Check to see if professional installation is available in your area.
