In addition to less than optimal nighttime video, Arlo Q's warranty is only one year long compared to two year coverage offered by Nest and Belkin. Unlike other security cameras we tested, Netgear doesn't offer free 24/7 technical support after the first 90 days. After that, you must pay for a cloud storage plan to access 24/7 technical support.

Other than that, smart detectors are also connected in a wireless network, and are able to talk to each other. So if a fire occurs in the basement and you’re in the bedroom, these smart little things will still sound the alarm wherever you are in the house. With a price tag of $149, the Halo Smart Protect is undeniably one of the most pricey options on the market. The manufacturers market the device as the “most comprehensive solution for any home”, which in turn means that the manufacturers believe that the hefty price is justifiable. As its name suggests, the Halo Smart Protect is a circular device that comes with a nifty user configurable light, which shines upwards towards the ceiling. Just like the colour turnable bulb, you can select the colour that you want from a colour wheel found on the device’s phone application.

If you’re not looking to pay a monthly fee for professional monitoring, then abode is a great option that lets you self monitor. Their abode Essentials Starter Kit is pretty minimal, with only a Gateway, a door/ window sensor, a motion sensor, and a key fob plus the abode Cam, which I couldn’t resist adding. Installation is DIY, saving you more money, and abode has pretty good app and customer support ratings. Plus, abode has tons of integrations with Google Assistant, Amazon Echo, Nest, Philips Hue lightbulbs, ecobee, LIFX, Yale, Kwikset, Z wave, First Alert, and IFTTT, so you’ll be able to create home automations galore. Nest Secure is a great option for apartments for a few reasons. One, they offer month to month contracting, which is awesome because you might not be there forever especially if the dryers don’t get fixed soon— sorry, that’s just me projecting a little.
