NE Ohio Monitored Security Recommendations?

Hey Security System folks!

I live in NE Ohio and am looking for a security system that includes:

  • Fire/CO2 Detectors
  • Outdoor camera, basement flooding sensors
  • Smart Lock for front door
  • Ability to integrate w/ existing Ecobee Thermostat and My Q garage systems
  • 24/7 Monitoring with people who can call fire/police for me if necessary
  • Integrated app with an easy to use, MODERN, consumer grade experience – points for techy, slick and functional so I actually use the damn thing

I previously was using Frontpoint but their clunky, out of date tech and app make it so I never end up using the system and features which sort of defeats the point.

I’ve heard nothing but obnoxious things about ADT. Right now I am leaning towards Vivint but I was quoted >$100/mo with a five year contract which seems excessive – especially the contract part.

Wanted to do a quick sanity check here and see if there’s anything I’ve overlooked. I’ve heard good things about Simplisafe but really want the ability to have a monitoring service that can get the cops/firetruck to my home if I am on a plane or otherwise unavailable to do it myself.

Thanks in advance reddit!

Edit: Looking at the quote they emailed me the service price is only $30-some it’s the equipment rental that getsya. I probably can do with less equipment to make it more palatable but still curious if there are any other red flags!
