Xfinity Home is a total home security solution that includes professional monitoring and advanced technology, all installed by experts and powered by WiFi from Xfinity.
Xfinity Home offers flexible options to customize your home security, including a myriad of smart home integration and home automation options for the tech-savvy homeowner. With both self-monitoring and pro-monitoring options at various levels and no contracts, you can get even more savings on home security plans when you bundle with Xfinity internet, TV and streaming, and mobile, and home phone services.
Xfinity Home offers two types of home security service plans: Self Protection (self-monitoring) and Xfinity Home Security (pro-monitoring). There are no service term contracts with Xfinity, so you can switch between Self and Pro-monitored security solutions at any time. Xfinity Home Security requires an internet connection to provide communication with your home security equipment, as well as the company’s server, in case of alarm. You are able to subscribe to a different Internet service provider if you choose.
In the event of a power outage or spotty Wi-Fi, your touchscreen controller, which is the primary equipment, has a cellular backup for up to 24-hours that provides the connection to your home security system. Not all home security companies rely on Wi-Fi, specifically because it can be spotty, so if you aren’t secure in your internet connection, this may not be the home security provider for you.
Overall, Xfinity Home Security seems to be an effective choice if Xfinity is going to be your provider for Internet and other related services, as the bundled deals are going to make your dollar go the farthest. If not, there may be more cost-effective options out there, including more equipment choices, that also won’t lock you into a term contract.
