Abode Iota All-in-One Security Kit with Integrated Camera, Alarm, Key Fob, Motion & Door/Window Sensors - DIY Installation - Optional Professional Monitoring - Works with HomeKit, Alexa & Google Home

Product and seller fantastic. Received notification before being shipped that some features may not work in Australia. Product arrived promptly and works exactly the way I need it to

I've had this plus additional hardware for a year, and it's never been 100% functional. For many months the main issue was that anytime I streamed live video the Abode app would disable the mic on my Galaxy 10s. That meant that if my cameras were triggered and I needed to speak with police or the Abode monitoring team I was unable to use my phone. To regain the use of my phone mic I would have to restart the phone. A few weeks ago the above issue was resolved, but since then none of my five cameras record/report video when motion occurs. I can manually record when using live video feed from the dashboard on the Abode app but not when using the record button for each camera accessed via the "device" screen. I've been working with the Abode techs for many months and I'm quickly running out of patience. They seem like nice, sincere people and I wish them well however if the system can't be made to work properly I will have to switch to a competitor.

I bought this thinking I could self-monitor and not pay a monthly fee. It understandable that you would need to pay for video storage (which is almost essential) but if you're not a paying member, the app doesn't even show you a timeline or let you know which sensor was triggered so is too heavily crippled. Also I was disappointed to learn that z-wave does not mean an open standard for security equipment and sensors still need to be white-listed by the hub vendors so you're restricted to buying from abode's supported devices list, which tend to be higher priced sensors and the overall connectivity of devices which should otherwise be compatible is limited.

Muy buen diseño, tecnológicamente se puede mejorar (producto con varios años en el mercado sin cambio técnico). Se pierden muchas funciones al integrarse a HomeKit…lástima

Works great but you need a subscription to make use of all the features.
