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.

Due to these shortcomings, video surveillance was not widespread. VCR technology became available in the 1970s, making it easier to
record and erase information, and the use of video surveillance became more common. Closed circuit television was used as a form of pay per view theatre television for sports such as professional boxing and professional wrestling, and from 1964 through 1970, the Indianapolis 500 automobile race. Boxing telecasts were broadcast live to a select number of venues, mostly theaters, where viewers paid for tickets to watch the fight live. The
first fight with a closed circuit telecast was Joe Louis vs. Joe Walcott in 1948. Closed circuit telecasts peaked in popularity with Muhammad Ali in the 1960s and 1970s, with "The Rumble in the Jungle" fight drawing 50 million CCTV viewers worldwide in 1974, and the "Thrilla in Manila" drawing 100 million CCTV viewers worldwide in 1975. In 1985, the WrestleMania I professional wrestling show was seen by over one million viewers with this scheme. As late as 1996, the Julio César Chávez vs. Oscar De La Hoya boxing fight had 750,000 viewers. Closed circuit television was gradually replaced by pay per view home cable television in the 1980s and 1990s.
wireless security
Home security isn’t always about criminals; it can also be other emergencies like fire or heart attack. However, it takes a specialized service to deal
with more than just a break in. Either way, the ability to contact emergency services is an essential part of every security system. An alarm that makes a lot of noise may scare burglars off, or it may be ignored. Calling the homeowner is nice, but he or she is most likely ill equipped to deal with criminals. Police officers cannot be ignored and are trained to deal with the situation. SimpliSafe is appealing to those in search of home security because of the low monthly monitoring fees. People are also drawn to SimpliSafe because of the DIY installation – they can install it on their own time wherever they want. However, customer service may not be able to help if you run into issues. Many negative reviews about SimpliSafe’s equipment motion sensor lead us to believe the low monitoring costs are not worth it. Additionally, customers will pay a lot up
front to buy sensors and other equipment that get a lot of negative reviews.
