98 View at AmazonIt wasn't all that long ago that having a home security system meant signing up with a company that would send a professional installer to your house to drill holes in your walls and run wires throughout your home. In most cases the equipment was free, but you had to commit to a multi year monitoring contract as part of the deal. There are still a handful of security companies such as ADT, Slomin's, and Vivint, that will send a consultant out to your house to configure a system specifically tailored to your home and then send a team of professionals to install everything, but more and more companies are offering do it yourself DIY home security solutions. DIY home security systems come in all shapes and sizes. Some systems come with an LCD panel that serves as the brains of the system. The panel is typically installed on a wall in a central area of your home and connects wirelessly to your home network. Most of these panels use capacitive touch screens and contain multiple radios that allow them to wirelessly control Wi Fi, Z Wave, Zigbee, and Bluetooth sensors and home automation components. Most panels also contain a cellular radio that connects them to a monitoring center if you subscribe to a professional monitoring plan, and they almost always have a speaker and a microphone for two way communication with a monitoring agent. The cellular radio is also used to push updates to the system. For example, the $229 SimpliSafe Foundation is a starter kit that gives you the hub, a door/window sensor, a motion sensor, and a yard sign. Additional door/window sensors go for $14.

, inside homes, restaurants, stores, streets, parking lots, and/or the smart home environments 100 of FIG. 1. Each video source 222 may be bound to one or more reviewer accounts, and the server system 164 provides video monitoring data for the video source 222 to client devices 220 associated with the reviewer accounts. For example, the portable electronic device 166 is an example of the client device 220. In some implementations, the server system 164 is a video processing server that provides video processing services to video sources and client devices 220. In some implementations, each of the video sources 222 includes one or more video cameras 118 or doorbell cameras 106 that capture video and send the captured video to the server system 164 substantially in real time. In some implementations, each of the video sources 222 includes a controller device not shown that serves as an intermediary between the one or more cameras and the server system 164. The controller device receives the video data from the one or more cameras, optionally performs some preliminary processing on the video data, and sends the video data to the server system 164 on behalf of the one or more cameras substantially in real time. In some implementations, each camera has its own on board processing capabilities to perform some preliminary processing on the captured video data before sending the processed video data along with metadata obtained through the preliminary processing to the controller device and/or the server system 164. In accordance with some implementations, each of the client devices 220 includes a client side module. The client side module communicates with a server side module executed on the server system 164 through the one or more networks 162.

I exchanged an email with someone at ADT corporate, presumably about the frustrating situation, but when I inquired about HOW to get the local office manager to call me back, she also stopped responding I tried sending the email twice. When I tried calling the customer service supervisor who originally gave me a statement credit and advised me about the local office manager’s recommendation, that call also went unreturned. At the end of the day, I believe that ADT wants to provide a good product and customer service, however, communication system is disjointed, broken and ineffective. The most disappointing thing is the fact that three different parties in different parts of their organization have gone completely cold in response to my attempts to determine how to fix my problem. I can only assume that they are completely incapable of addressing situations that are outside of the norm, especially when the issue is something that they should have informed me about before the equipment was installed. This is not only a disgrace from a customer service perspective, but completely insulting to a consumer who has a choice when selecting a home security service.
