Anyone pick up a ring alarm system yet?

Or know anyone that has done so? In the past few months i've picked up the doorbell pro and one floodlight cam (planning for a second, just need to cables run).
I like the bit of security from the two devices and live in an area where a security system isn't a bad idea (rural development, significant distance from fire/ems/police, etc). The $100 annual cost isn't a problem since I already have that coverage with my two devices. I've read some things about future integration with other smart home devices and cameras. I'm just wondering what if any experience y'all have with it

thanks, some good input in your post. Do you happen to have any of the other ring devices? i'm curious how well the floodlight cameras work with the system. Would be nice to not have motion alerts when the dogs are running around outside if the alarm is disarmed
I'd setup the motion detection on a schedule but i work random days (hospital and fire station shift work) so the schedule is pointless for me

I have doorbell pro and a few floodlights, love em. I snooze the motion some on them when I am home. Neither are integrated with the alarm system yet. They are in the same app, but you can’t use them to trigger the alarm or use their sirens.

Same here, would hope they integrate the alarm system with the floodlight settings somehow in the future. Thanks for the info again

Bought the Costco kit (comes with a few extra door/window senors) and set it up friday. pretty easy set up and havent had any issues so far. was thinking about getting a second key pad for the bedroom, but with phone control there is no point. might get an extra motion detector and a few window sensors.

You can only trigger the panic mode from the keypad. That’s why my keypad is in the bedroom.
