Ring Alarm (2nd Gen) Equipment
Riding on the heels of the success of their Video Doorbell, Ring pivoted to whole-home security in 2018 with the Ring Alarm.1 Similar to the easy-to-install packages offered by SimpliSafe and Cove Home Security, Ring Alarm is a DIY home security system with affordable professional monitoring.
Today, Ring Alarm remains a top pick in DIY home security – especially when Amazon Prime Day rolls around. Ring is under the Amazon label, after all, so Amazon uses Prime Day to invite shoppers into its smart home security ecosystem. It’s a win-win situation; Amazon gets new customers, and shoppers enjoy massive discounts. But exactly how much are the discounts we are talking about? Let’s find out.

Ring Alarm and Prime Day: A Love Story
Ring – Equipment
Since it joined the Amazon family in 2019, Ring has been a Prime Day best-seller. That year, the Ring Video Doorbell (about $100) sold for as low as $70, plus Prime members got a free Echo Dot, which was worth about $50 that time. That's an over 50-percent savings.
In 2020, Ring Alarm kits were discounted up to 49 percent, and additionally, the Ring Alarm 14-piece kit with Echo Dot package went on sale for $50 off the retail value.
In 2021, most of Ring’s security cameras and doorbells were sold at discounted prices. The biggest discount we saw was $15 on the wired Ring Video Doorbell.
During the most recent Prime Day in July 2022, the discounts shot up even higher. On the Ring Alarm and Ring Alarm Pro kits, savings were between $60 and $130, with the 14-piece kit Ring Alarm receiving the highest price-slash. It cost only $199 during the sale, a $130 savings compared to its $330 retail price.
Aside from that, Amazon bundled the Ring Alarm with other Amazon products including the Echo Dot, Ring Video Doorbell, and eero routers for savings of up to $200. The eight-piece Ring Alarm Kit with a Ring Video Doorbell and Echo Show 5, for example, sold for only $224.98. If you buy all those pieces separately, it’ll cost you a cool $424.98.
FYI: The Ring Alarm system integrates with the Ring Doorbell, Ring Floodlight Cam, and other Ring cams, and can be controlled from the handy Ring mobile app.
Ring Alarm: Year-Round Equipment and Package Costs
Ring Alarm is squarely in the affordable category when it comes to the top home security systems in the industry. There is some light installation and setup as with any system, but just like Ring’s cameras, it’s important to remember that Ring Alarm is fully DIY. You’re not going to have to schedule an installation with purchase like you would with the classic Brinks security system, for example.
With Ring Alarm, you’ll also end up spending much less per month for monitoring than with Brinks. While these two systems are different in many ways, Ring Alarm is still a great pick for quality entryway protection. These are just a few things to keep in mind if you’re deciding between Ring Alarm and another kit; for more help choosing, visit our super-simple security system comparison tool.
