ADT has great sales reps, but when the techs come out, they bash the quality of the product and highly recommend going with a separate video company, which is the main reason i wanted a system to begin with. Comcast has definitely upped their game and has a good system and for the bundled price cant be beat. As far as customer service, hell who has good CS these days no one its not the 80's any longer!ATandT which owns direct TV now and Comcast are monopolies and get away with lack luster support, speak clearly with the stupid bot and be polite to the rep and it always seems to go pretty good. I've only had to call 2x per user confusion other than that its worked very well!Not too many complaints. Since we pay our home insurance a yr up front the hefty discount check of 252 didn't disappoint either. All seems well for now.
Everything is managed from the Ring app, which allows you to monitor everything from a single panel on your phone or tablet. It can also be integrated with other security devices from other brands, and you can even operate it using Amazon's Alexa. A backup battery in the kit ensures that even in the event of a power failure, the Ring kit will continue to run for up to 24 hours, using your cellular network to keep connected. As mentioned, there is no need for a subscription plan, though there are contract free Ring Protect Plans available, for either $3 or $10 a month, which allow you to store more video using the Ring app, as well as access member benefits and discounts on additional security product purchases. These might be useful if you plan to buy other equipment from Ring, such as its video doorbell, sirens, smoke detectors, cameras, and more.

Brinks Home Security is well recognized for offering professionally monitored security systems. These systems offer the flexibility of either professional or DIY installation. As a partner with Nest, they also allow you to choose between using their own equipment or Nest Secure equipment and monitoring. If you choose Nest Secure, Brinks will provide the ongoing staff and support for that system. Choosing Brinks comes at a premium price, but they do offer financing options for equipment at low or no interest. The monitoring itself is low cost, and it comes with a 2 year warranty although some options also require a 3 year commitment.
