My opinion is that if you care more about cameras, go with Ring. If you care more about home security features such as having a security company rep speak to potential intruders, go with Simplisafe.

I would NEVER use ADT as had them in the past and were JUNK for what they charge! Now they use Google products and those don't have a great track record either! Vivant is the MAC-DADDY system but REQUIRES a professional to install it and anytime you want to add to it ALSO requires a tech guy to come out to install! Also they are VERY PRICEY! Personally I do NOT want anyone snooping around my home checking out EVERYTHING I own and where it's located in todays day and age of theft and crime!

I have had Ring products in my home for years and have never had a problem. I love that I can set custom motion zones on their cameras. I installed a Simplisafe system at my Mom's house about 6 months ago and have had nothing but trouble with it. The devices have disconnected from the base station 4 times in those 6 months. Each time I have to remove the devices from the app then re-install them. The picture quality of the cameras are terrible compared to Ring and they don't allow custom motion zones. As I am typing this I am preparing to go to Mom's house and replace her Simplisafe junk system with a new Ring system. The Simplisafe system will be going in the trash.

As an IT and Security company owner, for residential clients I recommend Ring. I don't recommend any of the two for business clients as in a professional setting; neither is up to the task and fails on so many levels. However, Ring and SimpliSafe along with other companies like Eufy, etc., are geared for DIY customers. For a better DIY setup along with better quality, Arlo is where it's at.

True! But with that Eero router you can also have other non-Ring/Amazon devices connected to the backup cellular to keep as many devices you want to stay connected to the cloud. I as far as I know NO other system out there including Vivant has this option. Also, with that Eero setup you can also use your cellphones HOT-SPOT as a cellular backup as well which works great as I've used this for several hours a few times now due to internet outages!
