Ring vs Nest vs Simplisafe?

6 years ago

We’re renovating a home. I’m going in circles researching. I read that Ring has lowest monitoring cost but no glass breaks and cameras are just average But they do have outdoor cameras. Simplisafe easy to set up has glass breaks but expensive monitoring and doesn’t have outdoor cameras. Does anyone use Simplisafe but just do self monitor? Nest has great cameras but even more experience to monitor. But I’m also looking at doing a Nest thermostat, smoke and CO2 detectors. What have you found is best setup and value? Thanks

I have ring at home and blink at the cabin.

I have ring color hd cameras, solar panel and the indoor door bell, costs $60/yr. I had a 720 b&w ring, I recommend the color hd vs the b&w, the battery failed on the b&w ring.

The blink has an hd camera and is included with Amazon Prime. Prime costs $130/yr.

My brother had b&w simplisafe, my images are clearer than his. I do not think he has a subscription, he has a camera under his covered porch

Ring has a television ad, shows instant communication, my ring takes a few seconds, speed my depend on WiFi speed.

I would buy based on: color hd camera (image quality) storage (image storage cost) price of system.
