Hi,

Been reading lots of reviews, recommendations, seen several product demoes etc.

Looked at Surety, Alarm.com, ADT, Simplisafe, Arlo, Lorex, Frontpoint, Philips, Ring, Google Nest, Reolink, and more..

My home is 2 story, good safe community in Texas, corner lot.

My builder recommends ADT, but so far I’ve learned that ADT, Vivint, Google are not recommended, and Simplisafe have turbulent views as well.

I am looking for

1. Video doorbell
   1. Night vision, and good image quality
2. Security system
   1. Water leak detection
   2. Glass detection
   3. Flood light
   4. 2 or 3 Outdoor cameras
   5. Able to control Thermostat
   6. CO2 detection
   7. Smoke Detection
   8. External monitoring
   9. Deadbolt

​

Have read lots of people saying that Ring Doorbell is ok quality, however it doesn’t connect to say a panel like Qolsys IQ4, but why would I like to do that?

What about 2 different vendors on Doorbell and rest of house security system?
