| Things randomly missing in apartment, best indoor camera? Posted: 03 May 2020 09:15 PM PDT Anyone have any recommendations? I find myself in an awful situation with very nominal things going missing even as small as bottles of alcohol. I live in a large apartment building that has 6 units with other 6 unit building surrounding. I need something I can put in my house that really gives me a good chance at catching this thief. Nobody in the house would take some of the things taken, often just portions of things will be taken not the entire item. I do have a suspect, the people living in the bottom right of me. I had a strange instance a few weeks ago where my younger brother and only roommate left the house and I swore I heard the door close but he hadn't come back. [link] [comments] |
| Deciding between Nest Security and Vivint Posted: 03 May 2020 06:37 PM PDT Title says it all. Moving into a new place and I'm trying to decide between these two options. Security obviously factors in greatly in my decision - I want the house to be really secure. Is having a professional install the system provide more security, and if so, by how much? Google Nest seems really easy to set up so I don't know if it's worth it to pay more $$$ to have a pro do it. By the way, speaking of expensive, why the hell is Vivint so expensive? The sales rep quoted me $61 for 60 months. That ends up to be around $2K for the equipment alone. And for that, I get the basic package (the hub, sensors and 1 camera). Even Nest Security, which is expensive for DIY standards, is only $500-600. I realize that Vivint has supposedly the best equipment in the industry, but why is it like 3x more expensive? What am I getting for the other $1400? [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a system that doesn't require internet connection. Posted: 03 May 2020 08:32 PM PDT I'm looking for a security system that doesn't require an internet connection for my 80yo grandmother. She doesn't have internet access (she has never even used a computer and doesn't even have an email). It would be something for me to check every week or so to make sure she is safe while living alone, especially with a rise of break-ins in her area. Are there systems available that use something like SD cards instead of wifi? [link] [comments] |
| Phone options with Home Security System? Posted: 03 May 2020 01:40 PM PDT Hey Guys! I'm looking for advice on what to do about my landline and home security system that's connected to it. We've had an AT&T landline for many years; but recently its been unreliable. The lines in our house are old, and sometimes the landline phone reads "No Line." When this happens, if our alarm goes off the monitoring center isn't alerted. Calls can't go in or out either. On top of that; we were told AT&T were going to discontinue the landline service in our area; though that was a while ago and they haven't yet to my knowledge. It's really a pain to keep calling AT&T to come and sort it out. So I was wondering where I should go from here. Ideally I would like to move away from the landline since its older tech; but among my options what is best? My understanding on a lot of newer alarm tech is pretty limited.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Can you guys recommend me a good wired home security camera system for under $500? Posted: 03 May 2020 08:45 PM PDT so I installed Google nest hello today, but messing with the Wi-Fi signal, etc, has become very frustrating. Now I am willing to set up a closed-circuit home security system, and doing a quick Google search online, it looks like some systems are available with 4K cameras, and they can be had for under $500, including a receiver unit. my question is, after you have one of these home security systems installed, what kind of software do you use on your computer or mobile device to monitor the cameras, etc.... Or do these systems include software to actively monitor everything? Right now looking at the Reolink 4k system for $528 Also, a system with 2-way audio would be ideal as well. Thank you for your time. [link] [comments] |
| Can I ditch my security providers app? Posted: 03 May 2020 08:33 AM PDT I have a security system company that installed some stuff that came free with my house when I bought it. I didn't upgrade to their subscription package so I'm not tied to them at all. But now everything is running though their app and it's clunky and cumbersome. I'm wondering if I reset my IQ panel and ditch their Amazon skill set if I can just run everything through my Alexa app and IFTTT and not have to use their system at all. Or possibly some other central hub type of system. Devices linked- 4 alexas IQ panel Skybell Lift master garage door 2 honeywell thermostats Kwickset wifi door lock [link] [comments] |
