Save More and Do More with InGrid

You don't use high-speed internet for just email. You don’t use your TV to just watch the news. So why buy a security system that just provides protection for burglary and fire?


Trust InGrid’s National Experience

Over 99% of security companies are small, local or serve customers in just a few areas. InGrid is one of just a handful of nationwide security companies. InGrid’s national footprint allows us to bring you breakthrough safety features and advanced services that most other security companies cannot offer.

We cooperate with over 25,000 local police, fire and medical agencies in all 50 states. InGrid’s monitoring center has spent years developing and maintaining the proprietary databases and relationships to know who to call so that during an emergency, time is not wasted getting you help. It’s just another part of InGrid’s commitment to rapid response.

What’s in the box

The InGrid Home System includes the Base, Console, Handset, Grid Extender, Eight Sensors, and a Keychain Remote. The system is designed to cover a home with 2000 to 3000 square feet of space. All you need to complete this security package is a high-speed internet connection and an in-home router (neither of which is included with this Home System), and the InGrid Home Monitoring service (available for an additional monthly fee, but also not included). Please note that your InGrid security system is not fully activated without a subscription to an InGrid home monitoring plan.

Grid Controllers – Your Personal Grid of Protection. InGrid is built to deliver a grid of protection. If any controller is disabled, others step in to allow the system to continue to function. This makes InGrid nearly burglar-proof, as there is no single master control panel or point of vulnerability. Every InGrid component comes with battery back-up to keep you safe in the event of power loss.

The Handset – Better Control Means Better Safety. The Handset, which doubles as a cordless phone, can be taken with you anywhere in and around your home. Your system's controls and panic button are always at hand. Instead of a single keypad anchored by your front door, you're now free to roam your home, backyard or porch AND have instant access to your home's protection. What's more, the handset allows you to monitor activity in other rooms of your home.

The Console – Not a Typical Keypad. The InGrid Keypad Console gives you everything you'd expect from a security system keypad, plus a whole lot more. Not only does the Keypad Console act as your command central, it also acts as information central, displaying up-to-the minute weather as well as severe weather alerts. Need help remembering things? The console can also display customized notifications on the easy-to-read screen (such as important dates like birthdays and anniversaries).

The Keychain Remote – Reliable Control at the Touch of a Button. Of all the innovations built into InGrid, none is more convenient than the keychain remote. Arm or disarm your home or trigger a panic at the push of a button. Because the keychain remote is two-way, you can be 100% sure the system arms and disarms by simply hearing the confirmation beep. With old analog keychain remotes you never know if the system arms or disarms correctly. That's not a secure feeling. The Keychain Remote's confirmation beep is just another way that InGrid makes you feel always protected.

5 out of 5 stars The perfect alarm system for my needs.   July 26, 2008
 9 out of 10 found this review helpful

I've been shopping for alarms systems for a while now. I wanted something easy to install that offered extended protection and had some kind of notification for entry, alarms, etc. This system fit the bill perfectly!

First of all, it took less than 2-hours to completely install this system. Right from the get-go I knew this was going to be easy. As soon as I opened the box, I was armed with an Easy Setup Guide and boxes labeled 1, 2, 3 & 4. Following the well written instructions was a snap. First the base that plugs into my router, next the phone and charger for the bedroom, then the console by the front door and finally the extender in the living room.

Once the "core" system was hooked up, sensor installation and set-up was a breeze. You can configure each sensor for the way you plan on using it. For me, that was four windows, three entry doors and the real surprise . . . my garage door in what InGrid calls "convenience" mode. (I will never leave the garage door open overnight again!) There are many customized sensor options to choose from and you can use the handset, console or the myInGrid website for tweaking the settings.

The sensors themselves attach via some incredibly strong double sided sticky tape and they blend in nicely with the white frames of my windows. They are however quite visible on my oak door frames. Not ugly, but not exactly stealthy. (See customer images.)

Arming and Disarming the system is a snap. You can choose between "Instant" arming, "Stay" at home arming or the most common, "Leave" the home arming. Customizable exit and entry delays give you plenty (or just enough) time to arm and disarm. Disarming requires a PIN# to be entered before the set time expires. You can also use the included keychain remote or myInGrid website to arm/disarm.

My favorite part of the system is the notifications. I have it setup to email my work and personal email address anytime a sensor opens/closes, an alarm triggers or an important event or malfunction takes place. You can even set it up to text message you alerts.

For now I am "self monitoring" the home and relying on notifications in the event of an intrusion. This isn't optimal (especially if I'm offline) so I'll be setting up the $30/month 24/7 Professional Monitoring service in the next couple weeks.

I'll add more to my review as I continue to thoroughly test the system. Even after only a week of ownership, I can highly recommend this to anyone whose needs are similar to mine.



4 out of 5 stars I like, but I may be returning it.   July 29, 2008

First of all, I do like this alarm system. It was not hard at all to set up the system. All items except for the sensors and key fob are preregisted. There are a few Honeywell items (smoke detectors, motion sensors, and glass break sensors) listed in the book and on Ingridhome.com that are compatible, which makes me wonder if it is just a rebranded product. Which I know may or may not be the case as I have bought wired (interconnected) smoke detectors that are also compatible with other brands. The main thing I did not like about this system is the required monitering service. Even on Ingrids website, the system kit at this price requires the service. If you order from them direct, you can get the same kit and self monitor for an extra price of $100. At $30 a month, thats just to much right now as I have seen others offering it for as low $10 a month. I know you are thinking that you get what you pay for. But, when someone broke into my cousins house, with an alarm, they grabbed a few things and ran before the cops could arrive. So I say just self monitor till you can afford the price or the worst happens. I wasn't thrilled with CS when I called asking about getting activated (granted it was mainly my problem as I typed in the web address wrong). Turns out you have to go to in ingridhome.com/register put in the code on the bottom of the box and wait up to 24 hours to get an activation code. Which is how I figured out that I had to have monitoring service. The backup batteries in the main devices, console and grid extendor, last about 24 hours when power is lost. I had an issue trying to register the key fob, I think the battery is very week but had not changed at this time. The light on the console stays on 24 hours when connected to power. It is bright and kinda annoying if in room with it. Again, I do like the system, but the intial cost (359.88 monitoring, 299.99 hardware) is high. I would also like to see a remote siren option. Never got it activated so I can not comment on the supposed 85db console siren


5 out of 5 stars Easy To Setup & Great Customer Service   August 6, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

InGrid hit a home run with this system. Easy to set up, tough to defeat and superb customer service if you get yourself into a jam.

We've been using it for a few months - zero troubles. I like their anti-false alarm design strategy along with the multiple points of communication to the monitoring station (broadband/DSL, phone, GSM).

In comparing wireless systems, this is a no-brainer.



5 out of 5 stars Great Alarm System   November 1, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This alarm system is perfect for our needs. If you don't have a landline phone, you are not eligible for certain professionally installed alarm systems. So, in addition to the monitoring fee, you'd also have to pay to add a landline. That is what initially attracted us to the InGrid system... but there is so much more! So, what makes InGrid so great?

Installation
-All door and window sensors "stick on" - no wires, no screws, anyone can install!
-Console requires a nearby plug, but otherwise easy to install anywhere
-Cordless handset just requires a wall plug

What is Included?
-Cordless handset can be placed anywhere to control system (ours is in master bedroom) - easily arm the system right before bed, without having to go back to the console
-Window and door sensors (extra sensors available on Amazon)

Easy online monitoring of your home
-View the status of your system
-Arm or disarm your system remotely (i.e. for the cleaning lady, a neighbor, etc)
-Edit contact settings for alarm notifications
-Arm/disarm individual sensors (so you can leave an upstairs window open but still arm the system, etc.)
-View the history - see if the kids armed properly before leaving, fix it online if they did not
-Optional video monitoring available with camera and nominal extra monthly fee

Other Features

-Notification settings for events can include: burglar alarm, wireless internet out, etc. You control online.
-Set up to 4 notification contacts for events - text messaging or e-mail addresses
-InGrid will call a person, plus other added courtesy contacts (such as a neighbor, if desired), to verify alarm before calling authorities
-"Panic mode" - if you are asked to disarm the system against your will, or otherwise need police help, you can enter a certain distress code that you set up as the "unlock" code for the system. InGrid will not call you to confirm, or send alerts, they will send the police right away.
-Arm and disarm via "keychain remote" - one is included, others available on Amazon
-Optional fire alarm can be purchased, which will notify security company of a fire. (With my cooking, I am not using this feature!)

Because your settings can be easily changed online, you can add and remove the primary and secondary (courtesy) contacts and change your notification options. When we recently went on a three week vacation to Europe, we added my parent's contact information to notify them of a problem with our system, as we would be unavailable by phone to contact. When we got home, it took just a minute to go in and change the settings back to our e-mail and cell phones (for text messaging).

The only slight disappointment to us was that a security sign and/or stickers were not included in the box. However, we were able to order on InGrid's website very easily. We think this is an important deterrent to let potential intruders know that you have a security system installed.

Overall, this is a great system and is very easy to use. My husband and I each have a keychain. We can arm and disarm the system remotely from the internet, so if we want to allow someone access to our home, we can do so without them needing the alarm code or a keychain remote. This is a very flexible system, easy to use, great online self-monitoring and controls, and gives us a great piece of mind to know it is installed.

The additional monitoring service is installed on our system. Luckily we have not needed it so far, but it is comforting to know we are linked into the local emergency response departments should we need assistance. I highly recommend this system to anyone who would like to install their own security system that is effective and easy to use. Do not be intimidated by the fact you install yourself - no wires, no mess! Great product. Thanks InGrid!



1 out of 5 stars Monitoring requirement is the weakest link   August 23, 2008

Just when I thought a company has woken up and learned the true needs of customers--flexibility. I thought it was a great device until I learned that it cannot be used (expensive doorstop) without the monitoring service. The Product Managers at Ingrid missed the mark on this one. I'm sending my unit back to Crutchfield tomorrow.

Note to Ingrid PMs: Let customer do self-monitoring for a fraction of the $30 monthly monitoring fee. You might just differentiate yourself from your competitors that way.
