10-second breakdown:
It’s estimated that in the United States alone a burglary takes place every 15 seconds, and that one in five homes will at some point suffer from a break-in. It’s hard to feel safe when you hear statistics like that isn’t it? LiveWatch understands that it’s hard to feel safe sometimes, and passionately ensures the safety of your home as well as everything precious within it.
The good:
If you like to geek out over hardware, you should definitely take a look at the number of options LiveWatch has available. You’ll have no trouble choosing the setup you want. There are no other security providers with the same variety with this solution.
The systems available are all on a cellular connectivity system. This connection is a bonus due to the fact that your connection is more secure and less likely to be down in the event of a power outage or natural disaster.
There is a limited warranty on your equipment in the event of a break-in or certain other criteria.
The bad:
There are no professional installations with LiveWatch. You’ll have to find someone to help as they don’t have any way to facilitate installs.
The warranty on your equipment is only 2 years, a bit short for the industry.
How it works:
It’s estimated that in the United States alone a burglary takes place every 15 seconds, and that one in five homes will at some point suffer from a break-in.

LiveWatch’s intuitive programs, swift alarm response time, and their mission to provide the latest cutting-edge security for a fraction of the cost has earned it a positive reputation within the home security industry and among their hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers.
Priding themselves on the reliability of their home security and the exceptional quality of their customer service, LiveWatch has quite a few tricks up their sleeve to offer like their short-term 12-month contracts. It’s a breath of fresh air in comparison to the 36-60 month contracts that some competing companies require. After completing your first year with LiveWatch, you’re switched over to a monthly subscription plan, but best of all, should you decide that you no longer want to use their services, you can freely cancel at any time without being hit with a harsh cancellation fees or obligation to pay the remaining balance of your contract.
Many companies will offer systems built for DIY installation, but some systems are easier to install than others. A well-liked feature among LiveWatch customers is that self-installation is a breeze thanks to their pre-configured ‘Plug&Protect’ system. After mounting your system all you have to do is plug in the equipment and activate your system. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned DIY expert, or a first-timer, you’ll be able to get your home security up and running in no time. However, should you run into a stumbling block, they provide detailed instructional videos online and of course professional customer support reps who are always ready help to guide the way over the phone.
Their Plug&Protect system can serve as a hub for up to 40 security and smart home devices simultaneously, allowing you to add and expand your customizes system as your needs change.
ASAPer, LiveWatch’s own alert system sends alerts to you mere seconds after your alarm is triggered. No matter where you are you can resolve the alarm from your computer or smartphone. If you’re unavailable, their monitoring center will call the police for you.
So what sort of plans do they have? LiveWatch offers three premium home monitoring plans, tiered to fit almost any budget.
Beginning with the ‘Mobile Pro’ plan, for $34.95 a month you’ll receive 24/7 monitoring, ASAPer alerts, remote arm & disarm, Crash&Smash protection and LiveVoice assist which allows you to use your control panel to speak directly with the alarm monitoring system.
What is Crash&Smash protection? It’s yet another layer of protection. It automatically triggers an alarm if an intruder attempt to destroy your alarm control panel.
At $39.95 a month, their ‘Total Home’ plan includes all of the features Mobile Pro offers while adding additional smartphone controls, home automation, smart image capture and more. Lastly, their ‘Total Home + Video’ will cost you $49.95 per month, and as you might have guessed it enables you to view live video streaming via smartphone or web browser. They even throw in the window security camera, no need to purchase it separately.
After selecting your plan, you can choose your base system. They offer two versions to choose from: Plug&Protect Basic at $499, and Plug&Protect IQ at $599. Be sure to check for any discounts, both are often offered for a pretty hefty discount, going as low as $99.
Both base systems include 2 wireless door sensors, a wireless motion sensor, 2 yard signs, 6 window stickers, as well as a free keychain remote and free wireless security camera with night vision. The difference between the two is the alarm control panel. Your Plug&Protect Basic control panel is basic with fast-action emergency keys, 104-decibel siren, and a LED screen. Alternatively, your Plug&Protect IQ control panel has a 7” Android touch screen with a built-in camera, dual-band connectivity, apps, weather forecast and more.
Once you’ve selected your base system, you can personalize your package by adding more sensors and equipment if needed.
One thing to keep in mind, LiveWatch equipment only comes with a 2-year warranty, which will seem pretty short in comparison to the lifetime warranty that other companies offer. In addition, LiveWatch only offers DIY solutions, you can’t get a professional out to your house to set it up for you.
In many ways LiveWatch stands out from the crowd, offering the flexibility that many customers desire when searching for a home security system. It will be up to you to decide if LiveWatch is the perfect fit for you, but without a doubt they have a lot to offer.
