Convert/Replace ADT system
I have an ADT security system that’s several years old and out of contract. I want to replace it with a system with more affordable monitoring. I am reasonably good with DIY projects and am willing to tackle self-installation. I’ve used ADT to add cameras and switches to the system over time. I’m looking for recommendations for a company with affordable monitoring. Bonus if they have an option where I can add or reuse some or all of my current equipment.
All the equipment connects through a TSSC Base/KP. Sorry, I’m not sure what the model no is, but this is the manual: https://www.adt.com/content/dam/adt/downloads/manuals/800-13959-D_TSSC_System-ug.pdf.
Equipment:
-16 Honeywell door/window sensors (Model No. 5816)
-3 iCamera 1000 ADT*
-2 RC8025B ADT Cameras
-3 Fire/smoke detectors (not sure of the model no, maybe a honeywell 5808)
-2 motion sensors (Honeywell 5800 PIR-RES)
-2 indoor/outdoor switches* (ZW4201)
-2 indoor switches* (ZW4101)
-1 indoor dimmer switch* (ZW3104)
The switches and cameras are all Z-wave compatible, and everything is wireless. The items marked * I added aftermarket. I also have a Ring Doorbell (obviously not on this system) that I’ll probably be replacing. I don’t currently use any other home automation system (Google, HomeKit, etc). I use mainly apple devices (iPhone, MacBook, AppleTV) but haven’t set any of that up to this point.
I’m really pretty open to recommendations. I’m willing to consider replacing any or all of it but would love to reuse as much as possible. Also, using separate apps/set-ups for the cameras, the security monitoring, and home automation is also on the table, but I’d love to combine them as much as possible. Trying to research all the options has been overwhelming so any feedback is greatly appreciated.
