security services companies
g. additional door/window sensors, pet friendly motion detectors, flood detector, connected smoke alarm, Nest thermostats, wireless cameras, etc. , the equipment belongs to the customer and does not have to be returnedwhen the service is terminated. In order to separate
themselves from the pack, the SimpliSafe website highlights some major differences between them and some of the larger home security companies. One of the main differences is that SimpliSafe claims no hidden fees and requires no commitment or service contract. As highlighted in the New York Times articles on SimpliSafe, many home security systems require up to a three year contract that can costthousandsof dollars, and often have add on fees that raise the actual cost of the service from what is stated as the monthly home security monitoring fee. SimpliSafe requires no such contract and no auto renewal fees. Another important difference between SimpliSafe and some of the more traditional home security systems is that SimpliSafe is 100% wireless. Not only does that mean a less expensive and difficult installation process, but more importantly the system cannot be shut down by a clever thief with wire cutters. In fact, the home security installation is so simple that the customer can begin installing the system in as littleas 5 minutes, as shown in a helpful video on the website. This is a nice incentive for those folks who don't
want a hefty installation charge or permanent wiring added in their home.

home security wireless system
99 per
month per camera. Lifeshield's month to month monitoring plan will cost you $29. 99 per month. Most of the equipment is wireless. The control panel, cameras and smart thermostats will require connecting to a power source and possible drilling holes in wall to connect wiring. The
security camera they offer is not a pan tilt camera.

Smart Panel
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. 99 each and you can order glass break detectors for $34.
