I’ve dealt with security companies in the past for apartments and condos so I was familiar with the pros and cons when I bought my first house a year ago. I’ve had FrontPoint for quite a while and I like all their capabilities and equipment. They use a cellular monitoring method so I didn’t need a hard line. They use wireless monitoring with a standards based GE base station so I didn’t need to wire the house, just attach some sensors to doors etc. The cool thing about the standards based GE station is that I can hook it up to my compatible thermostat in the house and if I got those Z-Wave light switches I could control the lights with it as well. Biggest reason I have been happy is they have a free mobile application I can use to activate and deactivate from my cell phone. They’ve provided a safe and reliable experience with some cool perks.
