Why Frontpoint
Top reasons to consider Frontpoint
HD cameras and video
Frontpoint's camera options emphasize clear daytime and low-light imaging, two-way audio, and motion alerts sent to the mobile app. Cameras pair with the monitoring service for video verification and incident records. Consider wired versus wireless models for placement flexibility; most setups support cloud clips with subscription plans for storage and rapid access during an event.
Hub, sensors and backup
The security hub coordinates door/window sensors, motion detectors, and environmental monitors. Frontpoint systems prioritize wireless connectivity and cellular failover, reducing reliance on home internet. Smart scheduling, arming profiles, and push notifications keep control in your hands. Add-ons like glass-break sensors and smart locks expand security while maintaining a single-app management experience.
