Scout Alarm review: This DIY security system lacks polish |
April 04, 2017
It’s a philosophical question that I can’t answer for you: Is a budget home security system something you’re comfortable with? If so, Scout might be worth considering, though it’s a system with a few drawbacks. I’d recommend taking a test drive before you commit.Like most DIY security systems, Scout’s is built around sensors that talk to a hub; in this case, via the ZigBee wireless protocol. You hardwire the hub to your router with an ethernet cable, so that the system can connect to the internet. The starter kit includes four sensors: A motion sensor, two “access sensors” (for doors or windows), and a door panel, which is an oversized access sensor with a few extra features I’ll get to later. Total price of admission: $320.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
