iSmart - Home Security System Plus Wireless Security System - White

This security system seems to have been a great choice. It was simple to set up, and came with enough equipment to get you started. I also purchased two of the smart video cameras, putting one at each doorway. This way I can keep an eye on my house in the country, and not have to worry. The app is pretty intuitive. They seem to be updating it fairly often, which is reassuring, and let me know that there will continue to be advances. I can look around the house on my cameras, controlling them from my phone. It's also neat that you can add more contact sensors, cameras, or even motion detectors. Overall, I am pretty satisfied, and do not regret my purchase.

This system gives a great peace of mind when I'm away from home. I first purchased the iCamera Keep and it was easy to add to the cube one however once connected to the system it no longer sends alerts that motion or sound was detected. The motion sensor is constantly triggered by my small dog even though it says pets under 30 lbs typically won't activate the sensor. I have to turn off the motion sensor during the day - my option is to move it to a place where the pets are not frequently out and about. I got this system mostly so I could see my son get home from school and feel more secure. That's achieved and the price is right. Wifi connection was spotty at first but I added an extender and that issue was resolved. Wasn't anything to do with the system itself.

Benefits are clear: 1. EASY install.. like, really easy. 2. No monthly monitoring fees. The App itself leaves a little to be desired. Especially if you have the push notifications turned on. You get a notification each time a door is opened AND closed, which when working is too much. But sometimes, there's a significant delay (hour'ish) then your phone lights up with all of the previous hours notifications at once. I do like the way it monitors the batteries in each unit. Again though, if you're trying to protect Fort Knox, this isn't the most dependable system.

Very easy setup and install. App isn't the best laid out but easy enough once you learn it. I have had one problem - can't get app to connect when on 3G connection. Works fine on a newer 4G phone. I have an open ticket with iSmart; engineers are investigating. I suspect the problem is backward compatibility problem with my phone and cell service provider. This might be something to be aware of if you're using an older phone. iSmart Customer Service has been very good but open a ticket on their web site. Calling just went to Voicemail. The Best Buy package had the mix of devices I wanted to start with (3 door sensors, 1 Motion, 1 Remote). Packages available elsewhere have a different mix. App currently requires a device that can receive calls and texts (e.g. smartphone and not a tablet). So far, I am happy with this product as it is doing what I expected (except the lack of 3G connection on my older phone as previously discussed). In my "testing", everything worked as planned. Therefore, I will assume if a bad guy breaks in, it will work the same as testing. Hopefully, I will never find out. Keep in mind, this is a fairly new product from a fairly new/small company. Both the company and their products are maturing. As long as they continue to enhance the app with better/more functionality and keep rolling out new hardware to add on (e.g. smoke detector, water detector, doorbell camera, glass breakage, home automation, etc) then I will be happy. I have 2 of the new iSmart Spot cameras on the way. Hopefully, I will like these as well as what I have installed so far.

I really like this security system. Installing was easy. Used the double sided command strips for the door/window sensors, and we ended up screwing the motion detectors in the wall because I didn't want them falling. The cube needs to be plugged directly into the network. For me that isn't in the middle of my house so it can be hard to hear on the other side of the house. The app is easy to use and I really like the customization. You can create a custom mode where you can have some devices armed while others are not. This gives you much more options for arming instead of the basic home or away. Another feature I really like is the IFTTT integration. A couple things I use are my Amazon Echo to turn the alarm on and off, and have the alarm disarm when I come home. I have added an additional motion sensor and would like to add the Satellite Siren at some point as well. Overall, I really like the cost (no monthly fees) and technology in this product and would definitely recommend this to a friend.

This product has been amazing! It gives us peace of mind when we are sleeping and away from home. We can add more to it like the iKeep camera, motion sensors, and door and window sensors. I only have one complaint and that is that our large dogs set off the motion detectors when they get rambunctious around them. Other than that we love it!

Setup was a breeze, the only thing i would change is when you start adding devices, do them one at a time, that way you can name them as you move along (like front door, back door, etc...) Notifications come straight to your phone, email, and by text! This has only been implemented for about a month now and have had no false alarms. The range is great too, I put one on the shed way outside and it communicates back to the cube with no problem! the motion detector has good range of about 20foot, wish this was a little longer but if you strategically place it you wont have a problem. Batteries are easy to get too, though i havent had a reason to change them since they are all still showing full battery. I would highly recommend this to everyone that is looking for security of their property! You can also add ismartalarm cameras to this and see them through the same app. I have another camera system that wont communicate through this but hopefully one day they will allow different systems to integrate together. Adding others to have access to this system helps as well if you have frequent trustworthy guests they just add the app and scan your join code from your phone, and they can arm and disarm the system but they wont have access to change any of the notifications or alarm settings.

This product was perfect for my needs. I wanted an inexpensive security system that did not require a monthly service fee but would alert me if the sensor(s) was triggered. I will need to buy more sensors over time but this provided enough to cover my areas of concern. Hopefully, there will be more integration with other "smart home" products in the future.
