While you can receive a full refund within 30 days, if you cancel any time after, you must pay 75% of your remaining contractual balance. A Virginia based company with over ten years in the business, Frontpoint provides high end home security with a wireless system, DIY installation and professional monitoring. Available plans allow for some customizability and the customer service is accessible and responsive. Additionally, the more expensive plans include pretty great home automation features and video surveillance for those willing and able to pay for it. Yet, Frontpoint has some drawbacks, including its high prices and severe lock in contracts. Those weighing the options would do best to read over the contract thoroughly before jumping in. SimpliSafe’s equipment comes with a three year warranty and is 100% wireless. Homeowners can choose between a landline, broadband or cellular connected system, and the system is controlled through a base station rather than through a keypad on a control panel like most home security systems. This gives you added defense against clever crooks who know how to disable a system through damaging the control panel. Devices that come with the SimpliSafe system include the SimpliCam, an indoor camera with a motion sensor and HD video quality, and a keychain remote used to arm or disarm the system. Simplisafe does not include home automation features, other than Nest integration, which may be a turn off for some.
