""What I personally like is the ability to know exactly where smoke would be coming from. If I were to be on the fourth floor in the middle of the night, it would say 'there is smoke in the living room'," wrote one reviewer. 99 View at eBayCheck WalmartCheck Amazon?The Roost battery is the best — well, only — option for those who already have smoke detectors, and want to make them “smart. ” That’s because the Roost battery, which is Wi Fi enabled, sends an alert to your smartphone when the siren goes off. The second generation battery looks and acts like the original, but has a much easier setup process. Through the app, which can accommodate a large number of connected batteries, you have the option to silence the alarm for up to 2 minutes, and automatically send an alert to someone else. Additionally, you can link the Roost battery to other smart home products through IFTTT, to, say, turn on your lights when the alarm goes off. The battery is designed to last up to five years, and will work with any smoke/CO alarms that use a 9 volt battery, which includes hard wired alarms with a 9V battery backup. Roost has updated its app so that users can get notified when there is a severe weather alert, such as hail, freezing temperatures, heavy rainfall and snow, and storms and high winds. What Owners Are SayingThe original Roost Battery has only about 200 reviews on Amazon, where it gets an average of 3 stars. Among the top comments, several praised Roost’s customer service in troubleshooting issues.

The former is a wireless connection to the monitoring station, making it immune to power outages or someone cutting a cable. It is limited, however, with regard to transmitting large quantities of video, so many cellular primary systems incorporate broadband for video. Broadband primary services, on the other hand, have cables running down the side of a house that can be cut, thereby disabling the system. Some services offer cellular back up should this occur. Look for a home security system with a full line of wireless peripherals, including modules for controlling lights and appliances, thermostats, cameras, motion sensors some can distinguish between a pet and a person, water sensors, and glass break and vibration sensors. Look for long life battery power, too. Lithium sensor batteries, for example, can last three to five years. When they do run low, the system lets you know well in advance. Choose a controller with back up battery so the system will stay active in the event of a power outage or if the Internet is down. If you will be installing smoke alarms you’ll need the extra power of a 24 hour battery back up, not the 4 hour back up offered by many manufacturers. THE COST FOR SECURITY There are two costs to keep in mind when shopping for a home security system.

Read the full reviewBest ValueBelkin NetCam HD+$119. 99 View at AmazonCheck Walmart?Best nighttime video quality in our testsVery affordableSmart home compatibilityAverage daytime video qualityPoor audio qualityNo scheduled recording optionsThe Belkin NetCam HD+ is one of the most affordable security cameras we tested, selling for around $75 on Amazon at the time of this writing. The price makes it an excellent value, especially considering it earned the highest nighttime video score in our tests with excellent range and clarity in total darkness. In daytime testing, the NetCam had average video quality in bright and low light situations, and while its 720p video resolution doesn't hold up to the 1080p cameras in our review, it’s sufficient for most people. Unfortunately, the Belkin NetCam HD+ had the lowest audio quality in our tests; it was unintelligible. However, audio is arguably less important than video for the purposes of an inexpensive security camera.
