Honeywell has been doing an excellent job in recent years, and they have excelled in their field. I really like their Z-wave and the automated scene lighting in the house, aside from the fact that it helps you feel secure inside the house, which will turn cozy and achieve a relaxing ambiance anytime you like. I did not have any regrets about purchasing the Honeywell home security alarm system. Hopefully, in the future, they will enhance more of their equipment so that everyone will notice that every penny you invest in Honeywell is never put to waste.

Honeywell seems to go unnoticed to the individual consumer looking to buy home security yet they are HUGE. Dealers use them over GE and their equipment is superior. They are the only company keeping up with (or ahead) with Vivint in home automation innovation (my opinion). It is hard though to buy one of their systems on a DIY basis and connect it all yourself; thus why they go after dealers. I’m loving the new camera doorbell by Honeywell that recently came out.

Honeywell/Ademco is the de facto security brand and has been for decades though frankly they have fallen behind in technology but are trying to fix this with their Lyric all-in-one system. Any legitimate security company can monitor a Honeywell security system, regardless if wired or wireless. Every security system has a backdoor so not knowing the passcode is easy to correct assuming you have full access to the control panel. I agree with the author that many features on security panels are not used, or even needed by most customers, but always nice to have just in case.

Look online for central station monitoring as well as interactive services so you can arm/disarm, control zwave devices, etc from anywhere. Pricing is half of what most local dealers and ADT will charge – and usually no multiyear contracts. This is where most dealers make their money, monitoring.

Why should I buy their unnecessary add-ons such as their sensors when there are many options of value for money camera surveillance solutions in the market. Minting money for ages with outdated technologies..When I have my pet dog at home, these outdated ones are just buck burners..long live these products.

I am interested in getting the Honeywell Lynx Touch L7000 wireless alarm systems, but my question is, do I need total connect or these monitoring companies such as alarm.com,ADT or other providers to remotely access and control my system? Can I use 3rd parties apps to remotely access and use the automation function without subscribing? I am not talking about calling 911, I believe most cheap providers can offer this service, but I find it somewhat disappointing to know that I can’t use the full functionality of these system unless I go back to the manufacturer or vendor!

Hi Michael,

Don’t give these sharks any money to rip out your equipment. I run into this all the time. They just want to standardize to their product line for ease of service. There are other options available for cameras as well. You can put in a separate DVR with no monthly fees for remote connection. You can also look at adding a Tuxedo Touch to your existing system. Yes, you are looking at larger upfront product costs, but your monitoring costs will be way below $62 or even $45 a month. Basically when you buy the product, you own it and have full control over your system; which is real peace of mind.

Hey Michael,
Depends who your monitoring company is that is using the Honeywell system in your home. Honeywell and GE are compatible with most home security providers and it is up to them how much they charge to monitor your home. Find out who it is and then cancel and sign up with a new company. The new provider may use some of your existing equipment or just get you a full new home alarm system. Hope that helps!

I am being told, that I have a honeywell system in my current new bought home without the password, I am being told that the control has to be changed out, and I will be charged for the 4 cameras at around 150 per outdoor camera and $200 for the doorbell camera to be sold in about 2 months when its slimmer. The monthly cost is $62.00 per month and no mention of thermostat or Z waves or anything like that. Now I have every door contact already in place, every motion detector in place and even a siren in the ac filter location. Why am I being charged $62.00 per month with a $550 installation, Includes the 3 cameras, when I see Frontline charging $45 per month
