Gabe: Hi, folks.
This is Gabe at Security Baron.
Today, we're unboxing the Alarm Grid Home Security System.
Let's dive in.

If you have a question about today's unboxing, leave us a comment and I'll get back to you.
As you can see the Alarm Grid Home Security System comes in a pretty nondescript box with
the exception that it does say Alarm Grid right on the tape.
Let's go ahead and open it up.
The easiest box I've opened all year.
Now, lots of little boxes.
Here we are.
I like that.
Cable.
Let's check out each one of those pieces separately.
Like with most of our systems, we got a wireless door and window contact.
This is a manufacturer that I've not seen before, Versa.
Anxious to see how that works.
Generally, what you'll do...I guess we'll have to install the battery on this one.
That's something new.
Usually, the batteries are already installed when you receive the system.
You place the larger piece on the frame, this smaller piece on the window or door that moves.
It'll let you know when someone has opened that door or window.
We received three of these in our Alarm Grid system.
Let's check out the motion detector.
It actually looks good on the outside.
This is the nicest box I have seen from a motion tech, usually those come in Ziploc
bags.
That is pretty.
Here is the motion detector.
It's got a bit of a different design.
Of course, the same color scheme as all the motion detectors I've seen before.
Generally, there is two distinct parts of this, whereas here I'm noting that you can
see the dark part here.
This will actually be the part that actually sees what's happening.
This is a new interesting design.
There seems to be a QR code on the bottom.
I believe this is the top actually.
I'm anxious to see how well this works and how you install it.
This is a Honeywell motion detector.
This is the big power cable.
This is going to help us set up our security system.
Let's go ahead and open that up.
I see right off the bat that it works with Apple HomeKit which is nice.
Typically, we're used to things working with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant.
It's nice to see an Apple HomeKit device.
I thought this was going to be literature but in fact, it's just a piece of cardboard.
Here we are.
Here is the literature.
Here is our actual control panel.
This is called the Lyric controller.
The idea is that this will set up with all of your other Honeywell home security products,
I'm assuming even your thermostats.
You can actually do a lot from here with your Alarm Grid Home Security System.
See what else we have in this box with the controller.
There we are.
I knew we were missing a piece and now I get it.
Voilà.
A bunch of little pieces here to help us set up the system.
Hold on just a second.

Let's get back to the unboxing.
Here we are.
All the components that came with our Alarm Grid Home Security System.
It is generally a Honeywell based system.
We're going to add our Honeywell Lyric C2 WiFi security camera to this system, make
sure it works hunky-dory.
For note, we got our literature here.
We've got our control hub touch panel here.
It's actually a very pretty design, I would like to say.
That being said, there's a little bit of a complicated system to actually get it charged
and powered.
We're going to have to set these up.
It shouldn't be too complicated but more than we'd generally like to deal with.
We've got our motion detector.
We will put this, I'm sure, into the corner of a room about six to seven feet high, so
that it can capture everything.
We have various door and window sensors so that we know whenever a door or window is
open directly on our system and hopefully in the app itself.
That's our unboxing of the Alarm Grid Home Security System.
