How is it? We already have the plan that would cover it. Seems like the sensors needing batteries could be a turnoff.

Looking for member experiences from using it. Costco has the 10 piece for $129 so it is interesting.

I was already a SimpliSafe customer (but had Ring doorbells) when Ring alarm went live. Investigated Ring alarm and decided to stick with SimpliSafe, which has been flawless for me.

I'm also not a fan of having all my eggs in one basket. Now I have Arlo Ultra cameras as well.

Very little is discussed concerning the alarm system. Everyone wants to divert to the doorbells and cameras. I know about those.

I have the Ring alarm. 5 motion sensors and like 20 contact sensors with extenders and the like.

They work great. The batteries on the sensors last forever, like 3+ years. The batteries can be replaced without taking the sensors down (user serviceable access covers).

The Gen 1 sensors used CR123 batteries, which are cheap and plentiful.

I live in the nice part of a suburb. Crime is up due to Covid. Some fuckers are hitting houses and checking car doors and some cases breaking in cars. Cameras are a deterrent. I started off just getting 6-7, now have 12 and planning on 2 more in the next few weeks. Then that led to a dedicated TV/monitor for the DVR which is extremely hidden somewhere..
I can tell you this, worth every got damn cent!

Good point! The local media also seems to enjoy posting screenshots on their website and it typically results in an arrest. The porch pirates are a lot more active in the nicer parts of town.
