Choosing the ideal home security system in Albany is simple with Vivint. The leader in cutting-edge smart homes is pleased to introduce two new base options, HomeProtect and HomeProtect Pro. Whether you need no-frills protection or an all-inclusive system with video cameras and safety sensors, you can find it with Vivint. Check out your options and find the right one for your home.

What is HomeProtect?

Vivint’s base plan still provides a potent defense with the fundamental features you need. It includes the following: 

The security hub is a simple component that serves as the control center of your Albany home. Along with the tools discussed above, you can custom-tailor HomeProtect packages with the following for an extra cost:

Even though this is the starter package, you still benefit from Vivint’s industry-recognized 24-hour monitoring service, the powerful Vivint app, and an installation by skilled technicians. 

How much does HomeProtect cost?

You have options when selecting a HomeProtect package. It begins at $199 with a complimentary installation and reduced monitoring charge of $24.99 per month when you opt for a 3-year agreement. If you would rather have security without long-term commitments, go for the contract-free option. This choice involves an upfront cost of $349.99, monthly monitoring at $29.99, and an installation fee of $199. You enjoy the freedom to cancel whenever you want. 

What does HomeProtect Pro include? 

HomeProtect Pro is the top-tier package that gives you access to all the top-of-the-line equipment Vivint provides. If you’re looking for exterior and interior surveillance and other great implements like the combo smoke and CO detector, you need to pick this option. It features everything mentioned in the HomeProtect plan but swaps out the Security Hub with the feature-rich touchscreen Smart Hub

HomeProtect Pro allows you to add the following:

  • Outdoor Camera Pro
  • Indoor Camera Pro
  • Spotlight Pro
  • Glass break sensors
  • Vivint Smoke & CO Detector
  • Water sensors
  • Garage door operability
  • Integration with Google, MyQ, and Philips Hue devices

Like the the starter package, you’ll enjoy the Vivint app, expert installation, and 24-hour monitoring. Smart thermostats, smart locks, chime extenders, and the Doorbell Camera Pro are available with either plan.

Does the HomeProtect Pro come with all of Vivint’s smart tools?

No. You can configure this package to your preferences. While a great number of Albany residents end up getting the entire range of safety devices and cameras, you can pick the tools most important to you.

What’s the price of HomeProtect Pro?

Since this system is totally customizable, the cost will be different based on what you choose. A Vivint specialist will take you through the options and pricing. Feel free to inquire about any available deals.

You can opt for the more affordable starter package with the fundamental features and then expand down the road if your situation changes.
