After another package was apparently stolen last week, my wife and I said, Enough it’s enough and we ordered the Ring! Security System with various accessories and devices! Reading through the material and getting ready to install! We’ll see how smooth the process rolls!!

Good luck with it. I hope it works really well. We have the Arlo Pro 3.

Give us a review once you get it up and running. I've thought about getting one.

My Brother and a friend have the Ring and they are very satisfied with the performance of the Ring.

Visited with my sis yesterday and saw that their Ring wasn't working. Asked about it, and she said they had turned it off for a while. It was apparently ringing often when nobody had been on the porch, apparently from a bird flying by close to the door, and that there were other problems related to their slow rural internet service. Didn't ask for more details.

Didn't ask for more details. That's my problem with Arlo. It requires 2mbps of upload to get the best performance. I can't hardly get over 1mbps of upload where I am at. The Arlo still works, there's just a slight delay

So here’s an update. I still need to install contact devices and another motion detector. So far this has been a very easy installation and setup. We purchased the Ring security system which includes the base station, keypad, range extender, motion detectors and 8 contact devices (doors and windows). Additionally we purchased a camera/floodlight, 2 indoor cameras and the Ring wire doorbell. We watched for deals over the last month and ended up combining this total bundle by combining orders from Amazon and Costco, depending on which vendor had the best deal. Total ended up being $529!
I’m still learning how to use the app. But so far, I’m pretty impressed! As I think of more I’ll post later. Kind of rushed now as I just realized I’m late to bring my grandsons to church youth group!😜

You are correct! Strange that we found some better deals for some components from Costco but it is what it is!

Guy I work with has one and he likes it. He found out that his teenage son had his girlfriend over around 2:00 am. He works nights and seen her car in the back. Texted his son and come to find out he had his girlfriend over. From what he told me Mama Bear took over and laid down some ground work for him to follow or there would be dire consequences.

I'm glad those weren't around when I was in high school. I had enough close calls at my girlfriend's house without the aid of electronics.

Yep, although there was the time that me and a girlfriend at the time were caught red handed by her mom. Talk about embarrassing.

I got a dog. Now I don't have to worry about packages being stolen. USPS lady is scared to get out of her vehicle, and so was an Amazon guy the other day.
But she's just a big sweety!

Bob and Tom reference? Maybe ups usps and amazon can throw the packages at the door. These porch pirates do tick me off though. Buy the delevery people some dog treats!

I'm working out of town! My wife just called and said that the Ring app sent her a video this afternoon. It shows a silver Kia Soul backing into one of our neighbor's driveway. A white girl, looking to be about 20 yrs old gets out and goes to the neighbors porch and steals 2 Amazon packages and then speeds away. Police are on site now taking a report. This BS is getting crazy!
