The kit itself comes with a large touchscreen hub, a motion detector, and two sensors for your windows and doors. Make no mistake, ADT intends for this system to be paired with its professional monitoring, which means monthly fees—but there is a “no monitoring” option you can choose. However, the system really shines when you see how easily it can become a whole house smart platform. ADT has sensors to monitor everything from carbon monoxide to water leaks, and SmartThings has devices to manage lighting, thermostats, door locks, and more. The kit gives you a hub to control everything from…as long as you’re willing to stick with these brands. You can get more details from our full review. Customer service may not be a high priority when you purchase a security system, but if you choose Frontpoint, you’ll be glad you did precisely because of the customer service the company provides. Just because Frontpoint has a do it yourself installation, it doesn’t mean that you’re on your own if you need a little guidance. The professional and polite customer service representatives can help you decide where to set up your new security equipment, troubleshoot any potential issues with your system, and answer questions about specific equipment capabilities or about home security in general. The customer service representatives know their stuff and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure that each customer is comfortable with his or her security system. With the concierge level customer service, you might expect to pay an arm and a leg, but Frontpoint is one of the most affordable home security systems on the market.

Some systems store recorded video locally on an SD card or a solid state drive, while others offer cloud storage. Locally stored video is a good choice for do it yourselfers on a budget, but you have to be careful not to overwrite video you may need later. Cloud storage makes it easy to store and access recorded video, but it can cost hundreds of dollars per year depending on your subscription. Some systems offer both cloud storage and local storage, and some provide a dedicated storage drive that gives you DVR capabilities with time lapse recording, which makes it easy to find a video event that took place at a specific point in time. All of the systems we've tested feature an app that lets you use your smartphone as your command center to arm and disarm the system, create rules, add and delete components, and receive push notifications when alarms are triggered. Most apps also allow you to do things like view live and recorded video, lock and unlock doors, change thermostat settings, and silence alarms.
