Then you'll need the Ring Alarm with base station, $269 (or on sale at Best Buy online right now for $239). That gives you a motion sensor and door sensor, keypad and the base station to which everything connects. If you want to set up a home alarm, now would be the time and you should get a bigger set with more sensors like this one.

Finally, you'll need the Ring Alarm Smoke & CO Listener, $49.

You don't need to pay a monthly monitoring fee for any of this. Starting from scratch you're looking at ~$325 to make this happen.

Maybe there's a cheaper way to do this, but since I'm in the Ring ecosystem already, it wasn't expensive to add this protection.

If you're curious about the Ring Alarm, check out my jibber jabbering about it here. It is amazing, cheap, and you can install it all yourself very easily and with no skill in a couple of hours. I have freeze/flood sensors, window sensors, door sensors, motions sensors, cameras, etc. It's sick. I just put an indoor motion activated camera inside my garage, too. If someone goes in there to steal my stuff, I want to see their face so I know who to murder.

I have a high speed wireless device for protection against intruders - aka a shot gun
