This Ring Alarm makes a wonderful gift for parents, siblings, friends — pretty much every person on your nice list. Here are five reasons why the 5-Piece Security Kit is truly the perfect present for anyone you love.


1. It helps keep their home safe.

The 5-Piece Security Kit includes a Base Station, a Keypad, a Contact Sensor, a Motion Detector and a Range Extender — everything the recipient needs to protect one window or door and add Motion Detection to one room. Your giftee can always add more Contact Sensors and Motion Detectors to cover extra rooms and entry points.

2. It's thoughtful.

What could be more thoughtful than a gift designed to help keep your loved one — and their home — safe and sound? Giving the 5-Piece Security Kit shows the recipient that you care. And unlike, say, some heartfelt wall art or a monogrammed yo-yo, the gift of home security isn’t just thoughtful — it’s also practical.


3. It’s easy to use.

Setting up Ring Alarm is simple — your giftee just pugs in Base Station, connects the components and can then control it all from the Keypad or the user-friendly Ring App on their phone. They can always contact the dedicated Support Team at Ring to walk them through the process, and if the recipient doesn't want to set up the 5-Piece Security Kit themself, they can book a professional installation for Ring Alarm (additional fees apply), in select locations. If your giftee ever needs help down the line operating their alarm, Ring Support is just a phone call away.


4. It can evolve as their security needs do.

If the person you give the 5-Piece Security Kit to moves, they can bring their Ring Alarm right along with them. They can also add more sensors and security devices at any time based on their security needs. This can include additional Contact Sensors and Motion Detectors to cover extra rooms and entry points, as well as other alarm accessories such as Smoke & CO Listeners, Flood & Freeze Sensors, Glass Break Sensors and Panic Buttons.


5. It keeps on giving.

Some gifts get put away and forgotten when the hustle and bustle of the holidays is over — but not Ring Alarm. Once the recipient has set up their 5-Piece Security Kit, they can use it to help keep their home safe all year long.


More about Ring Alarm: There are three different alarm modes that can easily activate or turn off at any time: Disarmed, Home and Away. In Disarmed Mode, your giftee can easily go in and out of their home without triggering the alarm. All of the Contact Sensors and Motion Detectors will be disarmed by default in this mode.

When the recipient is relaxing at home or going to bed, they can set Ring Alarm to Home Mode, which arms the Contact Sensors around the perimeter of their home and disarms all Motion Detectors inside.

And with Away Mode — perfect for when your giftee is at work, running errands or on vacation — all sensors are armed. If any Contact Sensors or Motion Detectors are faulted, an alert will be issued. (The owner of Ring Alarm can also control which sensors will be monitored in away mode by setting them in the Ring app.)

The 5-Piece Security Kit can be connected to other Ring devices (sold separately) within the Ring App, creating one, simple complete Ring of Security for your giftee's home. No matter how big or small their place is, there’s a Ring device that can help protect it.
