I've had Smith Thompson, and it was great, but I want the smartphone activation/de-activation and camera access. Any suggestions? I'm in Cypress if that matters.

Use the smartphone app from Smit Thompson and then get a separate ip camera?

Vivent is fine but they're expensive and they lock you into long term contracts which kind of sucks.

Gotta pay for that equipment somehow.

I'm looking to make a change soon so I looked at vivint and they looked pretty expensive for a basic system. $40 a month with no cameras or smart technology (close garage door from app) seems steep.

We have ST now, but I really liked Xfinity's system and their remote app.

I just switched to Southcross and really like it.

Whatever you do, change your password access to your cameras from the default. I stood in line at the hctra office behind a guy casing webcams on his phone from one of the sites that provides access to all the wide open security cams on the net. He seemed especially interested in mechanic shops and other businesses with equipment visible. Kept stopping and zooming in on those before bookmarking a few of them. Tried to get the hctra folks to give his name to the cops when I got to the front of the line...but like my experience with hpd in past theft cases, they had no interest.
