- Welcome to the SafeWise 2023
Best Home Security Systems Awards.
Now that the Oscars, Golden Globes, Grammys,
and every other award show out there is back in action,
we felt it was time for us to follow suit
and step up our game.
We've got nominees. We've got envelopes.
And we've even got statuettes.
Before we start the festivities though,
here's a look at all the home security companies
nominated for honors this year.
So stay tuned to see which security companies
will take home the top honors tonight.
First up, we'll start with a real crowd pleaser,
Best Customer Experience.
These security companies work hard
to make sure customers feel safe and happy.
The nominees are Frontpoint,
who has taken this award home in the past.
Cove, still a bit of a newcomer
but they've got our attention.
And Wyze, they make it easy and affordable
to get into home security.
And the winner is, Cove.
Cove told us they put customers first
and we've seen it in action.
No hassle cancellation, 60-day money back guarantee,
a lifetime equipment warranty
with free no-hassle replacement.
Plus, they consistently get high ratings
from their customers.
Next up, we've got a brand new category,
the Best Little Fish in a Big Pond.
These companies pack a lot into small packages
and are making a big splash in the home security space.
And the nominees are, Abode,
they've long been the little security system that could.
Arlo, a strong contender
if we are only looking at security cams,
but how well will their brand new security system
stack up?
And Wyze, a staff favorite for both smart home
and home security tech.
And the winner is, Wyze Home Monitoring.
Wyze took their magic formula of packing high-end
tech and features into small affordable packages,
and applied it to home security.
Wyze Home Monitoring delivers the lowest monthly
monitoring price on the market,
equally affordable equipment costs,
tons of home security and smart home gadgets,
and awesome and cheap cameras.
Now it's time to award the honor for Best Collaboration.
With the growth of smart home tech,
there are more and more combos when it comes to adding
both security and convenience to your home.
The nominees are, ADT
and their partnership with Google Nest.
Abode, one of the only security systems
that works with all major ecosystems
including Apple HomeKit.
And Ring.
I mean, they were purchased by Amazon
so it doesn't get much more collaborative than that.
This is a close race, but the winner is ADT.
Not only did they join up with Google Nest
but they brought the "Property Brothers" along for the ride.
And who can resist those boys?
Best of all, you get the highly trained pros from ADT
to install all of your security and your smart home tech.
ADT also stands out for winning
the Most Trusted Home Security Brand
in Newsweek's 2023 Most Trusted Brands.
They bring a mind-boggling 147 years of experience
to the table,
and as I've said before,
they have nine redundant monitoring centers.
You can learn more about that here.
Next up, we are looking for the Biggest Groundbreaker
in the home security industry.
There's a lot of innovation out there
but some companies really change the landscape
and the very way that we think about home security today.
The nominees are, SimpliSafe,
this company is synonymous with DIY home security.
Frontpoint,
if you want full service security in a DIY package,
this is it.
And Vivint,
they basically invented the idea of smart home security.
And the winner is, SimpliSafe.
From its smart marketing, streamlined packaging,
and simplified equipment options,
to its accessible pricing and online shopping experience,
SimpliSafe is the company that really put
DIY home security on the map.
Making a safer home easy and affordable
for more homes and family.
And in our opinion,
that's the best way to be groundbreaking.
Congrats, SimpliSafe.
Well, we've already come to our final award.
This one cuts to the heart
of our security philosophy at SafeWise.
Proactive versus reactive security.
We are strong proponents for taking measures
before something happens.
And trying to deter criminals
before they break into our house,
nab our packages off the porch,
or get up to other nefarious stuff.
So who will take home the Owl
for Most Proactive Security System.
And the nominees are, Cove,
they've added tools like RapidSOS and Insta Text
that get you help faster.
SimpliSafe,
this brand also added RapidSOS
to help their customers get better, faster help
when they need it.
And Vivint, a security and smart home innovator
who develops and creates proprietary tech in-house.
And the winner is, Vivint.
Thanks to Vivint's proprietary and inventive ways,
this smart security company has designed
its Outdoor Camera Pro and Video Doorbell Pro,
to actually scare off bad actors
before they can do their damage.
When these cams detect a lurker
they go into deterrent mode.
You get whistles.
You can have pre-recorded messages
to warn those lurkers away.
And even their flashing and strobing lights.
The cool thing, is that instead of watching
a would-be perpetrator just pull up their collar,
ignore the camera, and keep on rolling,
Vivint's cameras are stopping criminals in their tracks,
like deer in the headlights,
and we see them running away
instead of completing their dastardly deeds.
So kudos to you Vivint.
Your innovation and solutions
for evolving property crime trends like package theft,
make you so deserving
of the Most Proactive Security System award.
Congratulations to all of our nominees and winners.
