scenic98 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Per above, is there such a device that is standalone with need for wiring and pay hedfty monthly charges? I have someone at home most of the time. The only time i need a home security system is when all of us goes on a holiday. All I need is for a standalone device that can send a alert to my mobile phone whenever there's motion detected within the confines of my home. I don't need any of those survelliance cameras or alarms etc. pls help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ngunadi 2 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 You mentioned "motion detected in your home", what is it based on? is it based on image/video? sound? etc. If it's based on image and DIY, you can get something like IP based camera, install it and for any motion detected, send you an email. Sending an sms would be more troublesome setup but can be done. Easier solution, M1 Chubb Security Solutions. http://www.m1.com.sg/M1/site/M1Corp/menuit...RD&chubb=01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have an IP based camera at home sitting in my drawers as i wasn't able to configure it back then. might want to try it again. what is needed for it to send sms? for the M1 solution...not much diff from signing on a home security package. I want to avoid recurring monthly charges. txs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am working in security field and I can tell you that Chubb monitoring centre is not worth the money. i agree. i wouldn't mind paying a one time charge to buy and setup the equipment and then have full total control on when i want to activate the system. by signing on a security package, u are tied down to their system and thereafter, they will come and ask u to upgrade as they no longer support the older model that u have. hence for me, i just need a simple set up that alert me when there's a break-in so that i can alert my neighbours. good thing is, i have good neighbours that help out each other.
