There are many companies, both new and proven, that have <a href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/diy-home-security\/\">DIY security systems<\/a> available. Abode Home Security System is one of these self-install professional-grade security systems, and it is often touted as being one of the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this review, we look at the Abode Home Security System and compare it to the competition to see if it is a top of the line DIY system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<h2 style=\"background: #2C8495; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">What Is the Abode Home Security System?<\/h2>\n<\/center>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jTEnYAvD-XE\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>The Abode Home Security System is a professional grade security system that is self-installed and is operated via an on-site hub that will easily integrate with Apple iOS, Android, security cameras, and many smart home devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different kits available with variations of included components. Here, we are looking at the starter kit which includes one Gateway, one wireless keypad, one mini door\/window sensor, one remote key fob, and one motion sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<h2 style=\"background: #2C8495; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Product Specs<\/h2>\n<\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>The Abode Home Security System is a comprehensive DIY security system that integrates modern connectivity technology, diverse configuration and component customization options, and flexible professional monitoring services. Here is a closer look at some of this product&#8217;s more impressive features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"background: #FF730E; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Connectivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"wp-image-6019\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StockSnap_LFTEMAVW1O-copy.jpg\" alt=\"woman holding smartphone\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StockSnap_LFTEMAVW1O-copy.jpg 600w, https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StockSnap_LFTEMAVW1O-copy-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\n<figcaption>image source: <a rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/stocksnap.io\/photo\/LFTEMAVW1O\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"stocksnap.io (opens in a new tab)\">stocksnap.io<\/a><\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>Connectivity on the Abode Home Security System is forward-looking. The Gateway is a Z-wave- and Zigbee-enabled hub, and all sensors connect with wireless technology. The Gateway communicates with sensors with adobeRF, a proprietary protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also connect with smart home devices such as lights, locks, thermostats, garage door openers, and home security cameras. The Gateway can connect to up to 150 devices and six streaming IP cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Abode Home Security System can be monitored and controlled remotely via Apple iOS and Android. It connects with many other systems including Alexa, Google Home, Nest, IFTTT, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Philips Hue, ecobee, LIFX, and Google Assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It integrates with devices made by Aeon, Cree, Enerwave, GE, Kwikset, Linear, Philips Hue, Schlagle, and Netvox. It encrypts all communication between the Gateway and other devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Abode DYI Security Made Easier\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DBLtsTpJT0c?start=36&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Enhanced automation is made simple with the embedded CUE system which allows you to create actions from triggers. It is an &#8220;if this, then that&#8221; system which you can further customize with optional conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the current iterations, you can program your Abode Home Security System to respond to triggers regarding the change in security system mode, doors, and windows opening or closing, people leaving or entering the native geo-fencing area, scheduling triggers, time of day or environment changes, and it also supports IFTTT synchronization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center>figure class=&#8221;wp-block-image&#8221;&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"wp-image-6024\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StockSnap_JKYVIPMTIY-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StockSnap_JKYVIPMTIY-copy.jpg 600w, https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StockSnap_JKYVIPMTIY-copy-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>image source:<a href=\"https:\/\/stocksnap.io\/photo\/JKYVIPMTIY\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">stocksnap.io<\/a><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"background: #FF730E; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Components Reviewed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The starter kit for the Abode Home Security System comes with one Gateway, one wireless keypad, one mini door\/window sensor, one remote key fob, and one motion sensor. This is enough to get started, but most people like to add components to customize their system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the starting kit, other devices can be added on as needed. The system can grow and shift with your household needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"background: #FF730E; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Gateway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gateway is the hub of the system. It receives information from the sensors, cameras, and smart home devices and then sends that information out to the cloud, an app, or a monitoring center as you have set up. It has a 10-hour battery backup&nbsp;and an integrated 95db siren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wireless Keypad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/boy-191983_640-copy.jpg\" alt=\"kid plating with dog at the yard holding a ball\" class=\"wp-image-6026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/boy-191983_640-copy.jpg 600w, https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/boy-191983_640-copy-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/boy-dog-ball-cute-bobtail-child-191983\/\" aria-label=\"pixabay.com (opens in a new tab)\">pixabay.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The wireless keypad looks and feels like a conventional security system. It will accept forty different codes, which is useful if you want to know whether the person entering or leaving is the dog walker, your partner, or your child. It runs off a battery with a reported life of four to six years. The back-lit interface only lights up when keys are pressed to conserve battery power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"background: #FF730E; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Door\/Window Sensors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Doors and windows are monitored using the battery-operated contact sensors that sit across from each other in a doorway or window and will alert the Gateway when any of these are opened. The included batteries will last for over ten years, and the sensors come in several options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Included in the starter kit is the mini door\/window sensor. You can also purchase a recessed or slim sensor for invisible installation options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"background: #FF730E; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Door\/Remote Key Fob<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Abode Home Security System can be operated via a remote key fob, much like the one you may use to lock and unlock your car doors. Arm or disarm your system with a click of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"background: #FF730E; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Indoor Motion Sensor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/blur-cellphone-cellular-telephone-248528-copy.jpg\" alt=\" hand holding smartphone\" class=\"wp-image-6028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/blur-cellphone-cellular-telephone-248528-copy.jpg 600w, https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/blur-cellphone-cellular-telephone-248528-copy-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">image source: <a rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/close-up-of-man-using-mobile-phone-248528\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" pexels (opens in a new tab)\">pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The indoor motion sensors on the Abode Home Security System are battery-operated like the rest of the system. Any time motion is detected within a range of the motion sensor, a notification will occur on your phone. You can also program the system to respond automatically to the motion by turning on lights or triggering another action you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"background: #FF730E; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Other Optional Components (Not Included in Starter Kit)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Abode Home Security System offers several other components that can be added as needed. The Occupancy Sensor works much like the motion detector to alert you when someone is in the house, but it also will be triggered by changes in light and temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Glass Break Sensor detects shock and vibration, and the Acoustic Glass Break Sensor will also listen for the sound of breaking glass. Motion cameras and streaming cameras are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"background: #FF730E; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Professional Monitoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/iphone-410311_640-copy.jpg\" alt=\"hand holding a phone with apps\" class=\"wp-image-6033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/iphone-410311_640-copy.jpg 600w, https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/iphone-410311_640-copy-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/iphone-smartphone-apps-apple-inc-410311\/\">pixabay.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-monitoring with Abode is easy using the mobile app. However, 24\/7 professional monitoring is also available, and no contract is required. Abode has monitoring available for a few days, a week, a month, and so on. The length of monitoring is up to the user. This adds the beneficial option to self-monitor most of the time and hire professionals for weekends away or vacations. Just $8 covers three days of professional monitoring, and $15 covers seven days of monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><\/center>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<h2 style=\"background: #2C8495; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">How It Compares<\/h2>\n<\/center>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/scout-alarm\/\">Scout Alarm Home Security System<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/simplisafe-reviews\/\">SimpliSafe Wireless Home Security<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/ring-security-system\/\">Ring Alarm Home Security System<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We picked a few similar products available on the market to see how they compare to the Abode Home Security System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<h2 style=\"background: #2C8495; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Abode Home Security System<\/h2>\n<\/center>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><p >No products found.<\/p><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"background: #F7F7F7; padding: 10px; color: #545c66;\">Click above to check price<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"background: #F7F7F7; padding: 10px; color: #545c66;\">Connectivity and Integration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Forward-looking, flexible, and easy is what&nbsp;Abode Home Security System connectivity and integration is all about.

Most people who are choosing a DIY home security system over a conventional security system do not need the full-time monitoring, so the options for three- and seven-day services is a great benefit of the Abode Home Security System. 24\/7 monitoring is available if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"background: #F7F7F7; padding: 10px; color: #545c66;\">Warranty<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Abode Home Security System comes with a 14-day trial period for components and a one-year manufacturer warranty on the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"background: #42A94B; padding: 8px; color: #fff;\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Easy connectivity and integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most accurate geo-fencing available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexible, short-term professional monitoring options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"background: #C6191B; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Hardware is clunky<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full-time monitoring is more expensive than others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Buy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/abode-Essentials-Starter-Compatible-Google\/dp\/B0793N1V54\/?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"162\" height=\"47\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/67327253_466026917296504_5345980458012246016_n.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6038\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<h2 style=\"background: #2C8495; padding: 10px; color: #fff;\">Scout Alarm Home Security System<\/h2>\n<\/center>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><p >No products found.<\/p><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Scout Alarm Home Security System is another DIY, self-install package that&nbsp;you control and monitor via iOS, Android, or the computer.
