Ring Car Alarm: Protecting Your Vehicle with Advanced Protection | Ring
Vehicle theft is a major issue in the United States. More than 1,200 vehicles are stolen every day, and more than one-third of all cars will be stolen before they reach their first birthday. This equates to approximately 11 million cars that were reported as stolen each year! If you want to protect your car from being stolen, it’s important that you invest in advanced vehicle security solutions like Ring Car Alarm. This affordable device links with other compatible devices such as Ring Doorbell or Spotlight Cam Wired to keep tabs on your car and alert you when something out of the ordinary happens.
As the world’s leading provider of advanced video surveillance, Ring is always looking for new ways to improve safety in and around your home. With that said, we are excited to introduce our latest product: Ring Car Alarm! There are many different reasons you may need a car alarm system. Whether you’re at work all day or on vacation with family overseas, it’s nice knowing your vehicle will be safe and sound when you return. That’s where the new Ring Car Alarm comes in – providing peace of mind both while you’re driving and when parked at home (or elsewhere).
Ring Car Alarm is a simple and affordable auto security solution that works in more than 99% of cars on the road.
It links to other compatible Ring devices to alert you of specific “events” within or around your car, like if someone opens a door handle or moves the location of your vehicle.
You’ll receive an alert as soon as it happens. The Ring Mobile App also provides the option to manually trigger a siren for 30 seconds after each alert.
Get notified instantly if something happens to your car, no matter where you are.
This device easily links into your car using the OBD-II port. This allows it to safely draw power from the battery to detect specific events and impacts. But that doesn’t mean Ring Car Alarm only works when your car is running. It can stay on for up to 30 days in between car starts and automatically struts off if it senses a low car battery.
All you need to enjoy Ring Car Alarm is the device itself; there’s no annual subscription or other cost required. Just download Amazon Sidewalk network to receive wireless alerts and location information to your Ring App when in coverage.
Create a circle of protection for your car with an Ring Car Alarm. Never worry about theft, vandalism or another vehicle bumping into yours without knowing about it immediately when it happens again!
Sleep better knowing you’re protected.
A simple yet powerful solution for your car’s security needs. It protects against any number of potential threats, both inside the vehicle and outside on the street.

Beyond the privacy features, the Always Home Cam boasts cutting-edge obstacle avoidance technology to prevent collisions with unexpected objects as it moves on the pre-set paths.

Color: Black
Verified Purchase Amazing how strong and durable the material is on this bag. And it’s also being water resistant will be a wonderful one out fishing in the rain. There is also padding in almost every compartment. The inside is big enough to fit three 3600 tackle boxes. There are spots and slots for everything you can possibly think of from an umbrella to a flashlight holder to fish employers you can put anything in Las Vegas you’re possibly ever need and most important water bottle holder for those long days in the sun. The Top bag you can put fishing reel’s or like yours food or sandwiches. This will be great on my kayak and or a box for when I am a co angler. I’ll have room to put my extra line and reels and cell phone in it. Will make things much easier to carry all at once. Couldn’t be more happier with this bag. They made this bag to last and designed for the fishermen in mind.

Extra-large Hawg (Without Trays, 26.4″x11″x15.4″)
Verified Purchase
Honestly, I was on the verge to buy the Bass Mafia tackle bag and I came across the KastKing tackle bag.
All the storage options convince me to buy it. I just received it and Oh My i’m not disappointed at all !!
I feel that I made the right choice!
I was looking at a well thought, big storage, water resistant bag.
The material feels tough and water resistant. It has PLENTY of storage space AND, the way he was thought and developped, the bag take just bit more space in lenght than my previous Plano tackle bag but take considerably less space in width while able to hold 12 3700s and 4 3600s instead of 6 3700s in my Plano.
So, I feel i’m having so much more tackle with me in the same space. The bag is just much more well designed.
I also LOVE the gripping bottom, it won’t slide anywhere!I was very impressed by the product and I highly recommend it !!

What if I told you there’s a way to use something as simple as a light bulb to encourage (and virtually guarantee) your child’s great behavior.
This parenting hack is so easy that you’ll make it a permanent part of your repertoire. It’s an especially powerful tool to use leading up to Christmas, but kids care about Santa all year long!
Here’s everything you need to know to use a smart bulb and the looming presence of Santa to finally (FINALLY) get your kids to listen and behave.
Step 1: Buy an LED Smart Bulb
We use the KASA Smart WiFi Light Bulb at our house. It’s easily controlled through the Kasa Smart app or voice commands with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Microsoft Cortana.
(Pro Tip: The Phillips Hue Smart Bulb is also a great choice if you regularly use an Amazon Alexa).
Whichever bulb you choose, make sure it is multi-color, connected to your WiFi, and easy to control with a few taps or commands. Most importantly, be sure to purchase a smart bulb that doesn’t require a hub. Hubs act like routers for your smart devices but are pretty costly, so if you don’t already have one, purchase a hub-free smart bulb to make this parenting hack more affordable.
Step 2: Connect Your Smart Bulb to Your WiFi
Time to get down to business. Add the smart bulb into the KASA app (or whichever app works with your bulb) and connect to your WiFi. As soon as you open the app, you’ll be able to click on the specific light bulb you need (which we named Santa’s Little Helper) and control the exact color and intensity. We programmed orange, green, and red for easy access.
Now install the smart bulb into a common area of your house and introduce it to your kids as a “Santa Light”. If you’re doing this before Christmas, explain that it’s Santa’s way of using colors to keep track of whether they’re on the Naughty or Nice list. If it’s after Christmas, tell your kids that Santa installed the light bulb while he was delivering presents in order to track their behavior until next Christmas (genius, right?).
Step 3: Start Using “Santa’s Light” and Watch the Magic Happen
When we first introduced Santa’s Light to our five-year-old daughter, you could practically hear her brain spinning to process the concept. Santa can see EVERYTHING? He can control this light? He knows as soon as I’m bad?
Yup, yup, and you bet.
The green light worked on its own for a while. It gave our daughter a constant reminder that she was on the right track with her behavior and Santa knew it. She started purposefully showing better behavior to try to impress Santa.
But hissy fits happen, and the first time she tried to shout “No way, ew!” to the dinner set in front of her, the light immediately turned from green to orange to red.
The neighbors could probably hear her gasp when she noticed the change. She immediately sat up straight in her chair, grabbed her fork, and chowed down.
We didn’t have to say a word! No arguing or raised voices or exasperation. That’s what I call a major parenting win… or a technology-enable Christmas Miracle.
This parenting hack is perfect for Christmas, but it can also be adapted for any other time of year. Is your kid hopelessly obsessed with Paw Patrol or Batman? Make it Batman’s Light or Chase’s Light. As Easter rolls around, it can become the Easter Bunny’s Light.
Whatever you need to do to make parenting just a bit easier.
