Yes. A home we fit has nothing to pay each month, and there is no trick to it. It comes down to one decision: where the brains of the house live.
What's included, and why there's nothing to pay each month
Camera recordings. Every camera records to a drive in your house, so there is no plan to keep them.
The alarm. Home, Night and Away, the sirens and the alerts all run in your house, with no contract.
The clever features. Spotting people, cars and animals, the full history and every user in the family are all included.
Heating. The plan for every room runs on the hub, with nothing extra to unlock.
What £0 a month actually takes
For there to be nothing to pay each month, the work has to happen in your house. In the homes we fit, that is the hub: a small box beside your router, with room for up to 1 TB of recordings. Everything runs on it.
Every camera records to the hub, around the clock or only when something happens, and knows a person from a car or a cat.
The alarm runs there too: Home, Night and Away, the sirens, and alerts to the family's phones and up to 12 more people you choose.
The heating plan, the automations, the scenes and the voice assistant all live on the hub, so none of them needs an account with anyone.
Because the hub is yours, there is nothing to renew. The recordings stay in the house. What goes out is the alerts you set up: the family's phones are told in our app, and your outside contacts get the words, then the pictures and the video if you switch those on for them.
What you will still pay for
£0 a month is the honest headline, but it is not the same as free for ever. This is what is left:
A little electricity for the hub, and the broadband you already have.
Batteries for the wireless sensors every so often. The app shows every battery's level, with a warning on screen before one runs out.
A battery backup, only if you want the hub and the router to keep going through a power cut. It is an optional add-on, around £100, paid once.
Your own music service, if you already pay for one. The house can play it once you sign in; we add nothing on top.
Anything new you decide to add later, priced once, the same way as the first time.
There are also things you give up, and it is better to know them now. Nobody in a call centre watches the house: you and your people are told instead. Watching the cameras live while you are out is not part of the system; when something happens, the alert finds your phone wherever you are. If either of those is a must, say so before you buy anything from anyone.
What it costs
You pay once, for the kit and the fitting, and the price is fixed in writing before anything is fitted. It mostly depends on the number of cameras, the size of the house and whether the heating joins in. Message us on WhatsApp with what you have and what you want; a short chat is usually enough for a fixed price. After that, £0 a month.
