How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsA word of advice regarding installation
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 27 February 2023
Use the sticky pads for guidance only, ALWAYS SCREW motion sensors in using the holes provided. You can never trust a slightly heavy object especially a motion sensor tripping an alarm if the sticky tape undoes itself, or on a hot day.

Picks up motion fine on mid setting, it won't pick up motion every second this is to save battery life. There are no concerns regarding lack of motion as mentioned by others, the 2nd gen picks up motion every 5 to 10 seconds on purpose.

3.0 out of 5 starsWorks but big and heavy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 January 2023
Having installed a Ring alarm for a property where it was easiest to integrate into the existing Ring doorbell/camera system, I don't really rate this sensor.

It is absolutely huge - with 2x AA batteries (why not use AAA?) - and thus very heavy. Design looks years old.

Compare them to the Xiaomi/Aqara I use at home, a fraction of the size, that also have a positional mount (like a mini camera), include a light level sensor and (unofficially) temperature!

Pity you cannot use compatibles, a really poor, poor sensor from Ring.

Perfect for sitting room as it covers a lot. Easy to install. A little bit tricky when changing the batteries but overall worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect sensors
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 23 January 2023

Perfect, works great, just place them slightly lower than you would with a conventional sensor. There’s so much thought gone into theses, they have little adhesive backs on the corners, so simple to stick up, all battery powered, no messing around. Setup a whole system in under an hour!
