We all know you have got questions, and in case you are brave enough to invite the arena for answers, here’s the hole to take action. This week’s Ask Engadget inquiry is coming to us from Roger, who’s very nearly uninterested in hearing “ADT.” If you are seeking to send in an inquiry of your individual, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.
“I’m entering into a brand new place, and that i want a good wireless home security and fire system. But here’s the article — I only have a broadband internet connection and a cellphone. i am unable to use a kind of traditional ADT systems that require a landline, and moreover, the $40+ per thirty days they charge is outrageous. i would like a DIY option that monitors both security and fire, and i am fine paying as much as $25 or $30 a month for UL-certified off-site monitoring. SimpliSafe and Lifeshield seem decent, however the former doesn’t monitor fire yet. Support for live feeds and alerts on my smartphone will be a big plus. Thanks!”
Appears like SimpliSafe would be the perfect solution when it adds fire support in 2012, but Roger needs assist in the here and now. Any paranoid homeowners on the market have some other awesome suggestions? Drop ‘em in comments below!
