Vivint vs. Simpli Safe security systems recommendation


Recommended Posts

Any of these systems (vivint, simplisafe, cove etc.) best in class and/or integrate best/fully with C4?

Use case is condo with shared garage for now, vacation condo, and potentially whole home down the road...

Thanks!

theres a vivint driver, but that's all i can say about it.

Clare is OK but if you need monitoring, that may be more problematic (market dependant)

To get a true list of compatible alarm systems, you'll need to specify where you/the buildings are at (Country, maybe state/province - no need for full city let alone address)

Qolsys should be high on the list to consider. There is a C4 built-in driver. It's part of Johnson Controls in a division with DSC. Uses PowerG sensors and controls, with ability to use other panel sensors too. You can self monitor if you want, all monitoring uses Alarm.com. An overview of their product lineup:

Did one Vivint system, client's choice.
Couple hoops to get it linked, took about an hour, support call to Vivint and client involvement, but no issues post setup.
Just using a couple door sensors for light triggers.
