- ADT
ADT is the longest-running security company in North America. Their customers can choose between wireless, hardwired, or hybrid alarm systems. The company provides professional monitoring. However, you can also keep an eye on everything via the special app. ADT’s experience is a considerable advantage,as well as their app being most intuitive and easy-to-understand. ADT is considered a professional system, meaning you can’t install it yourself. Also, if you don’t like the idea of other people monitoring your home, you may need to look at other systems on our list.
- Cove
Every part of Cove is designed to be easy to use and install, making it relatively cheap. You can combine this system with Alexa and Google. However, there is no self-monitoring option available, and you must pay a monthly fee for 24/7 professionals to watch if everything is alright.
- Vivint
A cutting-edge wireless home security system enables you to give voice commands and use artificial intelligence. You don't need to limit yourself to basic requests because AI adapts to the customer's specific needs. The lurker detection option helps prevent a possible break-in, and panic buttons allow you to inform police officers, firefighters, and paramedics. Another feature of the Vinvit is that you can sign for just a month-to-month agreement or a long-term contract.
- SimplySafe
It's a low-cost option as you don't need to sign a monitoring contract (it's optional). With its help, you can use up to 41 sensors for monitoring. Battery backup allows you to change an accumulator in an emergency, and the status light informs you about what’s happening with your camera.
- Abode
Another option for those who want to protect their home on a budget and without letting strangers into their personal lives. You don't need a contract for monitoring, and you can install the whole system yourself. An abode cam has a 152-degree range so that you can choose a better spot for it.
