Hey, DYIers.
Dylan here with AlarmGrid.
Today we're going be talking about how
much does Total Connect cost?
Now Total Connect has technically
a couple of different costs.
I'm going to go over those in a second.
But we'll start with the very basic, the Self Bronze Plan
that we have.
This plan is for people who only want
Total Connect to be notified when their alarm is sounding.
If there's an alert and they want
to control the alarm remotely, either arming or disarming
from their phone, tablet, or website.
This plan costs $10 a month.
If you do go with us as a company, AlarmGrid,
we do have no contract fees, so it's just $10 a month,
month-by-month pay cycle.
The reason that you're paying for the actual application
is that it's going to secure Honeywell servers, which end
users do not have access to.
You have to go through an alarm dealer to get access to that.
It's basically letting us sign you up for the service.
When you register your system with AlarmNet 360, which
is the Honeywell server, we create your Total Connect
account in association with the panel.
We make sure that it's linked, synced, and ready to go.
With that one, not really many companies
offer the option to do only self-monitoring
with the application.
A lot of other companies will try
to push centralization monitoring on you, as well.
We do have options for central station monitoring
with the application.
I'm going to get to those in a second, as well.
So for more of these self plans.
As mentioned, the Self Bronze is $10 a month.
Very basic.
We do have a Self Silver Plan, which is $15 a month.
What that gives you is the same basic features
of Total Connect-- the remote arming and notifications--
but it also lets you control Z-wave devices
through the application, as well.
So if you have a system that has home automation--
that's automatic lights, locks, thermostats,
anything like that--
you can control them remotely through the application
and also set up scenes.
For example, if I arm my system for arm away,
I want my lights to turn off.
I want my shades to lower.
I want my AC to change, so on and so forth.
You can set those up through the application or the panel
and also execute them through the application or the panel.
Our Self Gold Plan is $25.
That I don't really have to go too much into.
It's the same basic features as the Silver Plan.
This is just for if your panel has a cell communicator as
well, so we don't really need to get too much into that.
Finally, the Self Platinum Plan, same idea as Silver.
Offers remote Z-wave.
Offers the basic features.
This one does also support cell communication,
but that's not really the point.
The Self Platinum plan is $35.
The main feature for that one is that it also
offers video monitoring.
So if you have IP cameras, you can view them
through the application remotely.
The newer cameras-- the C1, C2 and WOC1--
are exclusive to Total Connect.
So if you did want to use those cameras,
you would have to have Total Connect access in order
to view them.
And they basically just pair right through the application.
Very, very simple.
The app walks you through the actual set up.
Now as mentioned before, there are
companies that have the application
along with centralization.
We are one of those.
The cheapest that we offer Total Connects along
with central station is $25 a month.
That's our Silver Plan.
That gives you the same features as the Self
Silver, so the remote arming, the notification,
Z-wave control.
But this also hooks you up with central station,
and you're having live dispatch, all that as well.
And then similar ideas.
We have a Gold Plan.
Same thing as Self Gold, just it has central station.
And then the Platinum Plan, which is $45.
Same thing as Self Platinum, but has central station,
so not really too much difference
besides that one is completely self,
and one is self and live dispatch.
