Ring Alarm 14 Piece Kit available on Amazon for $199.99
Excellent price. I got mine for $189 earlier this year and kicked ADT ($55/month).
I've had it for 6 months now and only had one failed sensor and Ring replaced it for free. I also paired the outdoor Solar HD Cam (it integrates with this set).
Had tripped alarm when I was out of town and Ring customer service quickly called me within mins. I knew it was false as I went into the Ring app on my phone and I monitored the camera and didnt see any activity outside my house. Ring sent my local police to my house . Then called me back in 30 mins staying police confirmed it was a false trip. Ring rep reset the alarm.
I imagine the base station was on wireless? So they jammed both the 'regular' 2.4GHz/GHz wireless, as well as the 908.42MHz Z-Wave band?
I suppose when advertising (yard sign) they would come prepared with equipment for both, but tough to pull off with the mesh network and proximity of the devices, and you are notified if any devices (sensors) disconnect) - they must of kept up a continuous, strong signal to keep all wireless spectrums in use jammed.
Good information to share and always a nice tip with alarm yard signs. A good idea, if you are able, would be to plug the base station in directly with a network cable.
For others to know, there is a cellular backup (AT&T) built into the base station, so if you are on wireless and have the Ring Protect/monitoring active ($100/yr), then the cellular would kick in and continue to provide the Internet and alert access to what is going on with the sensors and overall system - unless the event of extremely prepared thieves to also bring a jammer for yet another frequency range for the cellular.
Just bought this and installed this week. Long time vera user and this system is a huge improvement IMHO. $10 a month for the monitoring service is a great deal.

This is same price as last week or prime day, right?

Yes. They only had a limit of one. Ring also had a special 14 piece for 200. Not sure if ring will put it back. But there are few ways to get extra discounts from ring buying directly.

Used to have Vivint and got fed up of the high cost. I switched to Ring last year and have been really happy. I got the retrofit kit and all my hardwired sensors are now connected. Plus got the Ring doorbell with the 1 year monitoring deal. Overall a very satisfied customer.

I actually used to have this and since its wifi based, smart thieves bought a wifi jammer and knocked it out and broke in while I was at work.
And honestly, if possibly always hardwire sensors.
