Hardware buckets
- Starter kits: entry detection and a panel
- Mid homes: perimeter + interior motion + keypads
- Camera-heavy: additional storage and network upgrades
Recurring costs to budget
Monitoring, cellular communicator fees, and cloud storage add monthly totals. Ask what happens if you pause monitoring—some features require subscriptions to function.
