Category Comparisons
Honest side-by-side specifications for internet connection types and security systems. Review key differentiators including latency, upload symmetry, monitoring mechanisms, and equipment flexibility.
Fiber vs Cable
Fiber wins on upload, latency and consistency, and it is the right default if it reaches your address. Cable is not a downgrade for a household that mostly downloads — a 400 Mbps cable line streams 4K to four TVs perfectly well, and it reaches millions of addresses fiber does not.
Monitored vs Unmonitored
Monitored security is the only version that does anything when you are asleep, abroad or ignoring your phone — an operator sees the alarm and dispatches. Unmonitored costs nothing ongoing and carries no term, and for a household that mainly wants a deterrent and a recording, that is a legitimate choice rather than a lesser one.
Professional install vs Self install
Professional install gets sensor placement right first time and hands you a system tested end to end, which matters most in an older or awkwardly-shaped house. Self install is genuinely adequate in a straightforward home, and it is faster — the kit arrives before a technician appointment would.
Wired vs Wireless
Wired sensors do not have batteries to replace and cannot be jammed, which is why they are still specified in new builds and large properties. Wireless is what almost every retrofit uses, because running cable through a finished house is disruptive and the reliability gap in a normal home is small.
