Ring security systems.

[Gman]

Yep. Ring was cheaper at $100/yr. Easy to setup. They'll also get the alarm permit for you if it's required (was for DougCo). You still have to pay for it but they'll take care of the legwork. Since I'm also using their cameras, it was a no-brainer since the recording is also included for an unlimited number of cameras. I waited for Amazon to have a big sale which included their Ring products (not sure when their next sale is coming up).

I haven't had any alarms trigger, so I can't speak to getting any calls from their monitoring center.

Also ETA: I understand why you're asking. I've been Googling "Ring vs. Simplisafe", and the reviews are garbage. Inaccuracies out the wazoo. A US News & World Report from a 'contributor' mentions the Ring sensors connecting with WiFi rather than Z-Wave. Ring uses Z-Wave.
