Home Security for the 21st Century
I was looking to survey what services and fees (if any) people subscribe to for their home security system. In addition, if you are using a pay/fee-based service - do you feel the cost/fee is reasonable?
Secondly, what feature(s) do you like the best about the system?
If you ignore service or equipment costs, what enhancements would you like to add to a security system?
In conclusion, I feel that most security systems are generic and bare bones oriented. As consumers migrate from traditional phone service towards cellular only, phone-based security monitoring services will continue to decline. As a systems integrator, I see an abundance of free/low-cost PCs, video products, networking alternatives and cellular capabilities, I am seriously considering designing a full-blown - low-cost - security system that will run over whatever services (internet, cellular, telephone, etc) users have a/o need.
Any feedback or thoughts would be appreciated... :D
