Great security system! When I bought my house it came with an old security system. I switched to Xfinity Home immediately. The app makes monitoring super easy and I love the smart home integration.

Xfinity services have been good this year. First 2 years were a roller coaster but they've tightened up their services significantly. The home security features are now very reliable.

Solid home security app with good smart home features. Camera quality is great and the automation rules work well. Could use a UI refresh but functionality is spot on.

Love how it integrates with my Philips Hue lights and Ecobee thermostat. One app for security and smart home control is exactly what I needed. Professional monitoring gives peace of mind.
Google Play
Good security app overall. The arm/disarm feature works reliably and motion alerts are timely. The 24/7 recording is a must-have feature. Recommend the professional monitoring plan.

Perfect for our family. My wife and I both get notifications when someone is at the door. The automation rules save us time and energy. Great value for the monthly price.

Works great with my existing Xfinity setup. Camera feeds are stable and the smart lock integration with Kwikset is seamless. Would love to see more device compatibility.
Google Play
Decent security app but requires Xfinity subscription. The app itself is well designed and cameras work reliably. Wish there was a lower-cost option for basic monitoring.
Google Play
Really impressed with the smart home features. Thermostat scheduling, light automation, and security all in one app. The professional monitoring team responded quickly during a test alarm.
