Security System for New Build
Posted on 1/1/21 at 5:28 pm
Posted on 1/1/21 at 5:28 pm
I’m planning to do all of the low voltage work for my house, and want to go ahead and do the wiring for a security system. Nothing too crazy - door sensors, window sensors, maybe a glass break. I’d ultimately like to integrate it with doorbell camera and potentially other cameras.
Any suggestions for which system to install? Would prefer at least one that would be compatible with Google or Ring products. I want simple and easy.

I have ring. It has been excellent. I moved away from simplisafe. Amazon echos act as glass break sensors and also alert to your dumb smoke alarms going off.

I have Ring integrated with my Amazon Echo Show. I love it.

Wired is always better than wireless so I would pull the wires if you can.
However Ring alarm is going to be all wireless. Since Ring is owned by Amazon you will want to have their ecosystem if you want it to integrate with anything. Unless you go with the X line, but the systems it will integrate with is probably more than you want to get into.

Any thoughts on a base wired system (Honeywell?) that integrates with the Nest or Google?

A hardwire HW system will be super reliable and last forever. You could put it on alarm dot com using a SEM module. ADC will integrate with google in the cloud so you can control the system.
But it won’t work with Ring.

Any idea where to buy the hardware?
:edit: just to add some of my own research, I need to buy a Vista panel and then the Honeywell Tuxedo controller looks to provide some functionality. Not clear what if any integrates with Google or Nest cameras.

I have two Tuxedo panels one at my back door and one in my living room. Z wave dimmers, z wave thermostats, zwave skybell front door camera, master lift MyQ garage door openers, electronic door lock for garge door into house and pool bath, 6 4k cameras but can’t remember the kind.
Everything except the 4k cameras works through the the resideo TC 2.0 app or Tuxedo. I have a separate app for my cameras because they said they are much better than what I could have done for the z wave.

I have ring cameras at my house and I feel like the video quality is subpar. Cannot make out license plates or faces very well. Anyone else agree?
If I was building new, I'd want a better quality camera.

My cameras seem pretty good.
