home monitor systems
Comcast has definitely upped their game and has a
good system and for the bundled price cant be beat. As far as customer service, hell who has good CS these days no one its not the 80's any longer!ATandT which owns direct TV now and Comcast are monopolies and get away
with lack luster support, speak clearly with the stupid bot and be polite to the rep and it always seems to go pretty good. I've only had to call 2x per user confusion other than that its worked very well!Not too many complaints. Since we pay our home insurance a yr up front the hefty discount check of 252 didn't disappoint either. All seems well for now. Just moved to a Home after living in the condo for the past 10 years the first thing we did was to contract security service of course after after living in the condo for the past 10 years the first thing we did was to contract security service of course after soon. After seeing a Comcast offer which sounded great because I would pay just one bill, I had the system installed and paid a bit over $500 for additional sensors. Within a week the app did not work and I thought the problem was with my phone. 2 weeks later I receive a call from Comcast saying something was wrong with the system and to make a long story short after over 20 hours on the phone and 3 installations attempts, my account monitoring was cancelled for no apparent reason. I filed a complaint with the Florida division of agriculture and consumer, affairs and requested my initial investment to be reimbursed. Comcast has the worse customer service around, I will sign up with a different company I found on your review site and instead of being on the phone I will spend this time drafting legal documents for the complaints litigation that I will initiate against the company.
Scout's large and small starter kits on Amazon are a good way to get the starter devices you need for your system such as door panels, entry sensors and key fobs. One downside to Scout Alarm is that you must pay a monthly fee $9. 99 to use the system, but this fee pays for built in cellular backup, which is often more expensive with other DIY home security systems. There's no contract so you can cancel service if you don't need it. You can also upgrade a Scout Alarm system to include professional monitoring $19. 99/month, so you can get extra protection when you're unable to monitor your home yourself. This system is the easiest to install as it walks you through every step of the setup process in the mobile app, taking about 10 minutes to install. Scout Alarm works with the smart home platforms from Amazon, Nest and IFTTT. When we tested Scout's siren, it wasn't as loud as other security alarms we tested, but it is loud enough that other sounds in your home shouldn’t drown it out. Scout's one year warranty isn't very long compared to the three year warranties from competitors, and the company doesn't sell any security cameras for the system.
