If you have a hardwired system and everything is compatible then there are no additional fees to install. You have the choice between a standard wireless installation or the hardwired takeover. If you purchase security cameras and you are an x1 cable tv customer you can view your cameras and arm your security system right from your tv!We transferred from ADT to Xfinity Home Security a few months ago. Horrible mistake. It has been reset and re programmed twice. Last week, 2 sensors gave off a "communications failure" message.

”For doors especially, I much prefer sensors that can be embedded into the door and doorframe, so they’re completely hidden. As I mentioned earlier, Nest really innovated on this front, embedding pathway lights and secondary motion sensors into its Nest Detect sensors. Ring sensors have an LED that lights up when activated, and the base station but not the keypad will chirp when a sensor is activated, but that’s about it. But it’s worth noting that a basic Nest Secure system costs $499 to the Ring Alarm’s $199, and Nest Detect sensors cost $59 each where Ring’s cost just $20 extra Ring motion sensors are priced at $30 each. You can also disarm the system from the app, but in a break from convention, Ring does not offer a key fob for arming and disarming the system. Geofencing that would automatically arm and disarm when you leave and return isn’t supported either.
