First time homeowner (slightly overwhelmed) with some questions
Hi all, I just moved into my first house, a one story stand-alone. I grew up in the neighborhood so I know it well and it’s pretty safe, but there have been occasional car thefts/etc and want to be safe.
I’m looking at a security setup and am a little overwhelmed… I have a couple questions I’ll try to organize here. I have read as much as so hopefully this isn’t too repetitive.
1) Here is my ideal setup:
- Alarm panel/active monitoring
- Glass break and entry sensors
- Smart deadbolts on front, side, and garage doors
- 2-3 outdoor cameras
- Doorbell camera
- Automated outdoor lighting
- Smart home/mobile app integration (ideally HomeKit/Home Assistant)
This is just the gadgetry- I’m also taking the recommended steps w/ regard to other precautions.
My first question (aside from if I’m missing anything) is, with an alarm service provider, am I able to integrate my own equipment? I’m fine with their alarm panel and sensors for instance, but have done my research and have some preferences as to what brands I use (and don’t use) for the locks, cameras, and lights.
I’m sure this is a question for the providers, but is that type of setup typically available? Or do I have to go with the brands the local provider offers? And if so, what are my other options?
2) I’m also curious about Alarm.com. They provide the monitoring, right? If I’m providing the equipment, what is the local company providing?
3) I’m a little confused about the distinction between wired/wireless/cellular/PoE. The house is already wired, with this box. Based on my setup, what components would need to be cellular, PoE, etc?
4) Per this subs recommendation, I found 2 local providers through alarm.com. They are both coming out to provide quotes next week. What questions, based on the above, and in general, should I be asking?
Thanks for your help.
