I called Comcast, was told a bunch of lies about an
alarm not being allowed to ring long enough etc. It must be a central
monitoring problem, etc. I was give their monitoring company number, called them and they never received notification of an alarm by the system. Called back to Comcast , was transferred around and hung up on several times before finally getting someone to help with a test. YEP, you guessed it, the junk system NEVER called the monitoring station, no call, nothing. So, for six months I have been paying for a protection service that would NEVER have helped. Leaving a wife at home alone with the assurance she was protected from home invasions or burglars. and from our new dope dealing neighbors . SPEND A FEW MORE BUCKS, GET A LEGITIMATE ALARM INSTALLED IF SAFETY AND SECURITY MATTERS TO YOU. At first, I was excited about security from xfinity since I had all of their other services. This was an easy bundle.
Interestingly, there are also fake security cameras. A lot of people resort to using them as a deterrent to prevent the risks of theft and other intruders. Some even mimic the mechanisms of a real one. It would have cables, panning motion from
side to side, blinking lights and zooming sounds. However, it does not really record anything. These are battery operated and a lot cheaper.

The base unit itself can detect motion and sound, and when its smart sensors are triggered it can record in 1080 HD video. Although the unit has nightvision capability, it can also be connected with smart sensors and Z wave lighting units, to expand its range both inside and outside of your property. It's also compatible with a number of other smarthome devices, which can be configured so that even when you are away, indoor and outdoor lighting can be programmed to simulate someone at home. When an event is triggered, an alert can be sent via text to your phone or other device, along with a video and/or audio clip of it.
