I have a split-level home with motion detectors on all levels covering essentially 100% of the space except the bedrooms. There are door detectors on all exterior doors and on the garage door. I have a water detector to monitor the water heater. Finally, I have the siren located in a difficult place to access which also allows the 105-decibels to fully cover the two main areas with exterior access. I've been using Ooma Home Security for a little over a year. I've easily replaced the detectors from a previous monitored system. I'm eager to get the smoke/CO detector to replace my existing fire/smoke detector still on the old system. Aside from when I triggered a detector myself (oops), I've only had one alarm (while I was on vacation in Mexico) - it turned out to be something that fell off an ottoman and triggered motion.
I use door sensor on all perimeter door and a motion detector in the basement to cover the basement windows. I have the camera near the main entry. To finish things off, I plan to get another motion detector for the back of the main floor.
My old home security system has no mobile options. It is really nice to be able to turn my alarm on or off while I am out of town. I can also see what’s happening at home with the camera. Very reassuring to know what’s happening when you’re out of town
I use Ooma for water detection and motion detection in my home. I enjoyed the low entry cost. The quality of the equipment is good and has been working fine. When a battery change notice came on I was happy that they use regular batteries. I recommend this system for diy people as it was very easy to get going.
I got my first Ooma security device as a bonus when I purchased my Ooma phone system. The great news is the system is expandable and you can buy what you need. Take a look at their product selection - you will probably find all you need (if not, drop them a note - they are very responsive). Ooma is a reliable company offering reliable products. I am glad a friend introduced me to them.
So far I only have the Ooma Motion Sensor. When I first started using it I experienced the disconnect/reconnect issue. I called their customer service line and they walked me through a procedure to correct the problem. That was almost three months ago and the system has worked flawlessly since. I have moved the sensor to various rooms in my two-story house with no loss of signal.
As a home security and voip phone combined with its low price, ooma is the best bang for the buck, hands down!!
Easy to set up and use. Great price for a great item.
Phone notifications very useful
Have country home with sump pump system..the unit activates when when...and sends a signal to the phone..phone rings with warning message...great when combined with Premier Service as it rings the cell when away from home!
Ooma Home security has been really helpful for me and my family. Easy to configure, the system is very reliable and the app makes it a breeze to use.
