Home security question..

Recommended Posts

Thinking about getting a couple cameras and some door/window alarms.

 

I can get xfinity home thru comcast for like 70 a month free install.

 

Was thinking of checking a couple other companies...or is it cheaper to get some costco do it yourself system and the hassle of installation?

I'd prefer to pay a little extra on the front end and not end up with a service cost each month. I'd buy a good system that stores locally in your house that you don't have to pay a service for.

sorry to hear that, that sucks

 

I do not believe my mother pays for her service at her store and it was installed by somebody... Like 5 cameras into 1 server with one screen... nothing fancy and does what it needs to

I would lean this way also... you are not doing anything hitech with it.... A few cameras into one central system is not worth $70 a month

The Ring systems are pretty good.. alerts go right to your phone and you can talk to fools through your camera.

Yup.

 

 

Do not go Comcast. Too many good self systems.

If you want a discount on your home insurance, the system needs to report directly to the popo and fire departments.

...and whatever minimal discount you receive will be more than eaten of in the first 6 months by false alarms alone.

Speaking of we've got glass breaks throughout our place and a few months ago I had a movie on in the bedroom and there was a huge crash which in turn tripped the glass break and actual alarm horn,scared the livin' sh!t out of me.

The Blink camera system was on sale during Prime Days. Would have been a great time to invest in a system.
