InGrid SK804IG Basic Monitoring Kit for 1500 Square Foot Homes Review

After purchasing this, they then try to get you to sign their service agreement.
I want everyone to be aware of a couple things:
1.) In spite of the fact you pay a premium for the equipment, it completely diactivates should you ever cancel the service, and you are left with a bunch of useless equipment.
2.) There is a 2 year minimum contract
3.) Also, even though there is no finincial risk to InGrid should you cancel early, they slap you with a $175 early termination fee if you should cancel before 2 years.You might want to be aware of these things before you buy.
I should add that I tried to cancel my service immediatly after becoming aware of these things after reading their SLA, and the lady on the phone was about as insistent I stat as an AOL
rep, and lo and behold they still shipped out the order today and charged my credit card (I canceled 2 hours after placing the order, after hours, and here it is 3pm the next day and they
shipped it anyways, so I'm sure the request to cancel was completely ignored)

Save More and Do More with InGrid
You don't use high-speed Internet for just email. You don\'t use your TV to just watch the news. So why buy a security system that just provides protection for burglary and fire?

MyInGrid Web Access - Home Security at Your Fingertips
With MyInGrid, InGrid's personalized dashboard of your home, you can watch, customize, or make changes to your system whenever you want. Simply log on and your home unfolds right before your eyes.

Mobile MyInGrid
Wherever you go, InGrid goes with you, placing control of your home's security right in your pocket. See pictures of your kitchen while waiting for a meeting ...look up what time your child came home last night while you are grabbing coffee...you can even arm or disarm your system while walking down the street.

Monthly Monitoring Plans
Most security companies charge high monthly fees and require long, automatically renewing contracts. With InGrid, you don't pay extra for things that should be included, such as fire monitoring, web and phone access, and text/email notifications. For a limited time, enjoy Pay-As-You-Go pricing with no annual contract.

No other provider offers InGrid's 30-day Risk-Free trial or Pay-As-You-Go Monthly Plans.

Trust InGrid\'s National Experience
Over 99% of security companies are small, local or serve customers in just a few areas. InGrid is one of just a handful of nationwide security companies. InGrid\'s national footprint allows us to bring you breakthrough safety features and advanced services that most other security companies cannot offer. Since you own your InGrid system, you can take it with you when you move.

We partner with over 25,000 local police, fire and medical agencies in all 50 states. InGrid\'s monitoring center has spent years developing and maintaining the proprietary databases and relationships to know who to call so that during an emergency, time is not wasted getting you help. It\'s just another part of InGrid\'s commitment to rapid response.

What\'s in the box
The InGrid Basic System includes a Keypad Console, Handset, three Sensors and Base. The system is designed to protect homes, condos and apartments up to 1,500 square feet. InGrid also offers a "Home System" for homes greater than 1,500 square feet. The only thing you need to operate your security system is a high-speed Internet connection, an in-home router, and InGrid Home Monitoring service (once again, no annual contract is required). Please note that your InGrid security cannot be fully activated without a subscription to an InGrid home monitoring plan ($29.99/month with no annual contract).

The Console – Not a Typical Keypad. The InGrid Keypad Console gives you everything you'd expect from a security system keypad, plus a whole lot more. Not only does the Keypad Console act as your command central, it also acts as information central, displaying up-to-the minute weather as well as severe weather alerts. Need help remembering things? The console can also display customized notifications on the easy-to-read screen (such as important dates like birthdays and anniversaries).

The Handset – Better Control Means Better Safety. The Handset, which doubles as a cordless phone, can be taken with you anywhere in and around your home. Your system's controls and panic button are always at hand. Instead of a single keypad anchored by your front door, you're now free to roam your home, backyard or porch AND have instant access to your home's protection. What's more, the handset allows you to monitor activity in other rooms of your home. A phone line is not required for your security connection, but is required to use the handset as a cordless phone or digital answering machine.

Door/Window/Cabinet Sensors Door/window sensors, also known as open/close sensors, are designed to detect the opening of a window, door or cabinet. These sensors are the most common component of any security system, typically used on exterior doors and windows.

InGrid's sensors can be used for non-emergency notification on things such as on firearm, medicine, or liquor cabinets. Sensors can trigger an email, text message or MyInGrid event indicating that something has been moved or opened.



From the Manufacturer InGrid was designed to go from box to full home protection in minutes. While InGrid can be set up in an average home by almost anyone in roughly 90 minutes, it is built to deliver far superior reliability and security compared to traditional systems. Since you install it yourself, there is no need for strangers to come to your home, drilling holes in your walls or special tools. If you can plug in a cordless phone, you can set up your own customized secure system, easily.

Each kit comes pre-configured; you simply open up each numbered box and plug in each component sequentially. When we designed InGrid, we created a system that offers superior home and family protection in every way possible. While most systems have a single point of vulnerability (a single master control panel that can be disabled in seconds), InGrid distributes the control points to several controllers, each a fully functioning mini-system that continually talks with all of the sensors. If one component is disabled, the others are still protecting you.

But InGrid is so much more than just home security; your system can also send you alerts and allow you to monitor non-emergency events that are just as important to your peace of mind. Whether you're on vacation, at the office, or out to dinner, you'll be able to tell who's coming and going, and when, without alarms or the police showing up.

InGrid Home Monitoring is included with your monthly security monitoring. Please note that your InGrid Security System cannot be activated without a monthly monitoring plan. With our 30-day risk-free guarantee and no annual contracts, there is no reason not to install InGrid and enjoy its superior protection, convenience and value.
Product Description The Basic System includes:


(1) Keypad Console
(1) Handset
(3) Window/Door Sensors
(1) Base

The Basic System is optimal for homes and apartments up to 1,500 square feet. InGrid communicates to our monitoring center via your home's broadband Internet connection. A home phone line can also be used for a secondary connection, but is not required. Guardian Protection monitoring service is $29.99 a month, with NO contract required.

InGrid SN701IG Door or Window Sensor Review

InGrid SN701IG Door or Window Sensor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The InGrid door and window sensors are so easy to install. No wires and no screws required, just peel and stick. The whole system is a breeze to set-up. They are very effective. It will not allow you to arm your system with a open door or window. However, you can bypass this option online if you want to leave a window open, for example, but still arm your system. This would be helpful if you wanted to air out an upstairs bedroom but still want to be able to set your alarm. You can easily update it to use that sensor again in the future, when you no longer need it open. This is a very flexible system, with easy to use online controls.

ASUS WL330GE Wireless pocket access point Review

ASUS WL330GE  Wireless pocket access point
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought two of these, one to use as a wireless adapter and one as a repeater. My primary wireless router is a Dlink DIR-622 running the original 1.11 firmware.
Initial setup is fairly easy. The manual is TERRIBLE but you really don't need it for basic setup. Out of the box, or after a hard reset, the device is in "Gateway Mode" with it's DHCP server active and ready to hand out addresses in the 192.168.1 subnet. Connect it to a PC's ethernet port, open your browser to http://192.168.1.220 and you get the configuration screen. From there, it is easy to choose one of the other (3) modes and make a connection to your wireless network.
If you want to make additional configuration changes to other parameters, it gets harder. Once you switch from Gateway mode to one of the other (3), the device no longer acts as a DHCP server for the ethernet port; rather, it effectively becomes a device with a static IP of 192.168.1.220. To make additional configuration changes, you must open your PC's TCP/IP settings and change from DHCP (i.e., "obtain an IP address automatically") to a static address (i.e., "use the following IP address") in the 192.168.1 range. Only then can you again open your browser and use http://192.168.1.220 to access the device.
I setup the first unit in "Adapter mode", configured it for wpa2 and then connected it to my Dish Network 622 dvr. Everything connected and worked perfectly.
I have a large house with my wireless router at the North end, so signal quality at the South end of the house is poor. I configured the second wl-330ge for "Repeater mode" and placed it near the center of my house. Devices in the South end now get excellent signal quality from the centrally located wl-330ge repeater. Devices that used to get 6mbps now hit 35mbps.
Both my units came with firmware 2.0.1.8, but I noticed a newer 2.0.1.9 firmware on the ASUS web site with 11-23-2009 release date. As it mentioned a fix related to Repeater mode, I decided to download it and update both units. I then hard reset and reconfigured them. The one in Adapter mode still worked just fine. The one in Repeater mode ceased to function; devices would connect to it momentarily then lose the connection. After several hard resets and reconfiguration cycles, I gave up and flashed it back to 2.0.1.8, and it immediately started working again. If you are using Repeater mode, I recommend avoiding the 2.0.1.9 firmware.

Sierra Wireless AT&T Lightning USB Aircard Modem Review

Sierra Wireless ATandT Lightning USB Aircard Modem
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This modem is much better than the one I used to use. I switched from a T Mobile usb modem to this brand new Sierra Wireless one. It comes unlocked, even though it says it is not in the product description. (At lease mine was unlocked). I use it when I travel abroad, and it works perfectly. The only downside I have noticed is that it eats battery life. I have a netbook that is supposed to get around 8-10 hours of battery life, which it does. However, when this is plugged into it, I only get around 4-5 hours of battery life. Otherwise, I think it is great. It comes with the ATT Communication manager on the device itself, and auto-installs when you plug it in. It also has a Micro SD Card reader, I do not use it, but some people find it helpful. It saves a USB port so you can use it as a USB Memory stick and a USB Modem at the same time. As of now, I have not had any problems with at all. I do not expect to have any.
