Installation is DIY, although you’ll have some help over the phone, and professional monitoring is not required!However, if you do choose professional monitoring, Brinks only offers binding three year contracts, a definite drawback. On a more positive note, Brinks has a 4. 1 Google rating and excellent customer support reviews. To control and monitor your system, you’ll use the Alarm. com app, which has ratings of 4. 4 on both the Apple and Google Play stores.

Like most technical services, you can pay for professionals to craft your home security system or you can take matters into your own hands. DIY home security means you customize your device kit, self install, and then monitor alerts from your sensors and video feed. Self monitoring is the common difference between DIY and traditional security, but there are plenty of companies that strike a happy medium between both. We looked at providers offering pure DIY as well as those offering professional monitoring, either de facto or as an upgrade. We required all systems to have Z Wave Support — the most universal mesh network for communicating appliance to appliance. One of the biggest draws of a DIY system is the opportunity to add in third party equipment like Philips Hue lights or a Nest Thermostat at any point.

Also I was about to have to try to get insurance on the house and he told me that my home owners insurance would be lower for having this security system. Something about discounts insurance companies give if you have security systems. Before I signed anything I asked him if I could get this cut off at any time. He told me I could get it cut off at anytime with no penalties. He did push for me to let his tech install it right at that moment. I also asked the tech if I could have the system taken out at any time and he told me yes.
