My husband has a new job. It's 20k more a year with fantastic benefits which is great. Thing is, he will be gone for up to three weeks at a time. I really don't like that but we need the money. With him gone so long, I'm looking at security systems.
What I have found out so far is that ADT insanely requires a landline connection and I seriously cannot find such a thing in my area. The closest I can get is a voip service, and it would require a much higher monthly fee for the security system to use it. Vivant is just as expensive.
I've thought simplisafe might be good but something feel wrong with that idea and I don't know exactly what. I already have lots of Amazon things though I utterly refuse to have alexa or echo in my house. I can apparently use Amazon ring without using those though they are an option.
I don't know much about google nest though I like idea of being able to address people through my phone so they think I'm home if I'm not.
What do you suggest?
