More high end equipment packages—like the ones Vivint Smart Home provides—come with a touch screen control panel and the option to add outdoor home security cameras, all of which require professional installation. Professional installation services may cost up to $250, although special offers that waive installation fees are common. Learn more about professional installation services here. The home security market offers many plug and play equipment packages that center around an audible alarm to deter intruders who trigger a door or window sensor.

We are one of those 13 customers that Alarm Pro lost and I have to say we don’t regret it. First off, our sales guy was wonderful, he wasn’t pushy or aggressive and really took the time to make sure we knew what we were doing and that we were happy and didn’t say any of those things that were mentioned in the article. He spent a lot of time on the phone with my husband who was away at the time and came back more then once to make sure it was working out and we were happy and went above and beyond to make right by us any way he could. As far as getting out of Alarm Pro I thank them for the monitoring they did for us but we wanted to have updated equipment and our guest house all on one system for a reasonable price, not more money and Alarm Pro couldn’t give us that. I am sorry to all of the people who have come in contact with rude security sales people…I see the problem now…. however I became interested in Vivints product and how helpful it is….

When we originally tested the camera, it wasn't compatible with any smart home platforms, but now works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT and Stringify. We also like that Arlo cameras come with seven day cloud video storage at no cost, though you can upgrade to better plans starting at $9. 99 a month. In addition to less than optimal nighttime video, Arlo Q's warranty is only one year long compared to two year coverage offered by Nest and Belkin. Unlike other security cameras we tested, Netgear doesn't offer free 24/7 technical support after the first 90 days. After that, you must pay for a cloud storage plan to access 24/7 technical support.
