home security monitoring
Entry level systems usually include some door and window sensors, a motion detector, and a hub that communicates with these devices using one or more wireless protocols such as Wi Fi, Z Wave, Zigbee, or a proprietary mesh network. You can add extra door, motion, and window sensors to provide coverage for your entire house and build a comprehensive system that includes door locks, garage door openers, indoor and outdoor surveillance cameras, lights, sirens, smoke/CO detectors, water sensors, and more. A word about wireless protocols: In a perfect world, all home security components would use the same wireless standard to communicate with the main hub, but factors such as
power requirements, signal range, price, and size make it virtually impossible to settle on
just one. For example, smaller components such as door/window sensors typically use Z Wave or Zigbee technology because they don't require a lot of power and can be powered by smaller batteries. They also operate in a mesh topology and can help extend the range of networked devices. However, neither protocol provides the bandwidth that you get with Wi Fi, which is why it is usually used in security cameras to provide smooth video streaming, and in other devices that require a fat pipe.
Their monthly fees were also close to other services in the area. The app rarely works could be my phone and every update to the app changes the look but never makes it functional. The camera link doesn't work on my phone but my phone is a piece of junk. Only a handful of techs are trained on home security and in a major metropolitan area that is not enough. That's been my problems up to here, maybe that is normal with any company but I hope not. Either way I've got it now!Overall, I think Comcast is a great company. They make great business decisions, their stock is doing great and their new cloud based DVR technology is pretty cool even it took them over a decade to finally create a DVR that looks like it belongs in this decade Sorry Brian Roberts. I would consider Comcast an entry level system. I wish they would add a full set of expert rule configurations that allow the user to not only more control over their home and their lifestyle but save them money in the process. About 10 years ago I wanted to start a subscription based automation company with a buddy of mine, but we didn't have the start up capital to do it. I was a loyal Comcast customer for over 20 years.
