They also operate in a mesh topology and can help extend the range of networked devices. However, neither protocol provides the bandwidth that you get with Wi Fi, which is why it is usually used in security cameras to provide smooth video streaming, and in other devices that require a fat pipe. Moreover, Z Wave and Zigbee devices are connected and controlled using a hub, while Wi Fi devices can be connected directly to your home network and controlled with an app. Finally, Z Wave and Zigbee devices use AES 128 encryption, and since they operate in a closed system with a dedicated hub, they offer more security than Wi Fi devices. Any smart security system worth its salt offers components that work together in a seamless environment and can be manipulated using customized rules. For example, you can create rules to have the lights turn on when motion is detected, have your doors unlock when a smoke alarm goes off, and have a camera begin recording when a sensor is triggered. Some systems store recorded video locally on an SD card or a solid state drive, while others offer cloud storage. Locally stored video is a good choice for do it yourselfers on a budget, but you have to be careful not to overwrite video you may need later. Cloud storage makes it easy to store and access recorded video, but it can cost hundreds of dollars per year depending on your subscription. Some systems offer both cloud storage and local storage, and some provide a dedicated storage drive that gives you DVR capabilities with time lapse recording, which makes it easy to find a video event that took place at a specific point in time. All of the systems we've tested feature an app that lets you use your smartphone as your command center to arm and disarm the system, create rules, add and delete components, and receive push notifications when alarms are triggered.

I paid for and have been depending on an alarm system from COMCAST for six months. My bad, but for the first time since installation I decided to test it today, walked in and tripped the door and motion detector, let it go into alarm and went and waited for the call. and waited,. and waited. NO CALL from monitoring. 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.
