Date: May 9th, 2018 1:54 PM Author: Razzle chapel We've considered simplisafe but haven't seen the need to go through w it yet. Seems like a good system. The doorbell we went with Skybell. No monthly fee. Videos are stored for 7 days and then deleted. You can download any that you want in that time period. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3970682&forum_id=2#36015802) |

Date: May 9th, 2018 2:08 PM Author: Primrose Razzle-dazzle Indian Lodge i'm moving to an area with a decent amount of burglaries. a security system will be my first purchase
i looked at the skybell but lol i just don't like the way they look |

Date: May 9th, 2018 2:12 PM Author: Razzle chapel We needed a slim. Didn't see the Nest model until after we bought but I really don't like the idea of a monthly fee. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3970682&forum_id=2#36015895) |

Date: May 9th, 2018 3:41 PM Author: indigo zippy rigpig thanks for the tip. I was thinking Ring Pro or Nest, but looks like the Skybell one is better (and no monthly fees) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3970682&forum_id=2#36016569) |

Date: May 9th, 2018 2:23 PM Author: Brass Principal's Office Same. I actually have a few of the thermostats and smoke/CO2 alarms. They work perfectly and sync awesomely.
Thermostats in the main living area, garage, and mother-in-law allow me to control everything and check on house temperatures even when I'm away at work. I'm gone half the year.
Both well worth the money. |

Date: May 9th, 2018 1:37 PM Author: charismatic maize private investor patrolman Have a few of the cameras. They work very well as baby monitors and for keeping an eye on my front door. Not crazy about the monthly fee though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3970682&forum_id=2#36015664) |

Date: May 9th, 2018 1:51 PM Author: exhilarant thirsty parlor place of business Ubiquity's offerings with respect to cameras (and other networking hardware) are much better than NesTTT's and don't entail a monthly fee. Also, all modern air conditioning units are designed to communicate with the company's thermostat. You may be leaving a lot of functionality on the table if you have such a system and use Nest.

Use a Netgear Arlo 5 camera system for exterior monitoring & 1 floating camera we position indoor when we travel or have someone working inside the house. |

Date: May 9th, 2018 2:10 PM Author: Lilac house liquid oxygen The smoke/CO detectors are 180. Have one for each floor and love the fact that I know that if something was wrong and I wasn't at home I could call my neighbor and have them let my dog out and check on the house. I'd also know exactly which detector was going off (is it in the basement? Upstairs?). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3970682&forum_id=2#36015881) |

|
Date: May 9th, 2018 3:50 PM Author: Lilac house liquid oxygen What kind of "incidental data" is available via a smoke detector? My wifi network name? How many times someone passes under it? None of that seems particularly problematic.
Now, anything with a camera or mic is a minefield. |

Date: May 9th, 2018 2:42 PM Author: Aphrodisiac nowag i have the thermostats, which i really like. problem is that whenever my boomer parents/inlaws are over, they can't figure out how to use them and end up calling me to adjust them remotely from my phone.
Anyone know what the battery life on the smoke detectors is? I don't know if my smoke detectors are wired or not... |

Date: May 24th, 2018 2:35 PM Author: Primrose Razzle-dazzle Indian Lodge update: thinking about getting the indoor cam IQ as a baby monitor, the outdoor cam IQ for protection, the doorbell and the nest x yale lock. already have the thermostat. debating whether to get the security system or not, seems like flame. are these things even worth it?
even without the security system all this shit is like $1150 before tax. |

Kind of expensive but way easier than the old wax candles: Once you set each individual candle up on your wifi network you don't even need a match or lighter to turn them on or off. Just charge up your smartphone and open the app to toggle them on or off. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3970682&forum_id=2#36120681) |

Date: May 24th, 2018 5:45 PM Author: racy locus main people Two of the thermostats and the doorbell and I think they’re all great.
I used to have the skybell doorbell. Bought it back in 2015 when they were relatively new to the market and it was always very buggy and had trouble getting it to ever work right for an extended period of time.
Haven’t had any problem with the nest doorbell since it was installed.
I also added a hydrawise wifi Controller this year for my sprinkler system and so far so good I like it and it does a good job of not sprinkling on days when there’s going to be enough rain and sprinkling more when it’s really hot and less when it’s cool. |

i'm getting the doorbell for sure. not sure if the cameras are worth it. |
