Abode Reviews

My wife wanted a security system, so we went ahead and got Abode. I was never scared, but now that I have it, I don't want to be without it. It provides a nice sense of security. I liked the Abode system's integration with Alexa, the Apple, and the iPhone. I've had it for so long and so far, the experience has been okay though it's a little glitchy sometimes. I like the ability to monitor things from my phone when I'm away. But there are some better systems that integrate more home automation within them rather than having separate systems for alarms and cameras and locks. Also, Abode's camera system is lacking compared to a lot of the other systems.

I found Abode through research online and I went with them due to their Apple HomeKit integration. I'm happy with their price, and the service has been mostly positive. Anytime I need to call them to get an issue resolved, I usually get it resolved. It's not something that's left outstanding. I've had a few issues here and there with cellular connection of the equipment to the network, but I can usually get it resolved via a phone call with them. This last time, I needed to get a new SIM card. They sent me a new SIM card, and now, I need to have them walk me through its installation. Overall, Abode has been great. I've had to use them on one instance when the police needed to be called, but it was a false alarm.

I had a seamless experience with Abode. It was easy to set up everything. All the instructions were clear and I had no real issues. Also, I liked how Abode can package the deals and what I needed specifically for my house. It works well. It doesn't interfere with my life, which is what I want. I like the automations where you could turn it off with just your location. I've had other self-install systems and they were a more challenging than this. This is a great step up.

I did some research on the internet, and Abode seemed to be cost-effective and innovative. I was looking at some new ways of doing things. They seemed to be the best option at the time. Functionality is very good. The flexibility of the software is my favorite feature. Camera performance is poor. The power supplies don't work well outdoors, and most of the power supplies I purchased had to be replaced. Also, Abode's team could shorten their callback time when they do receive an alarm. I know they receive a lot of false alarms, but they should shorten their callback time from the time an alarm goes off until the time it's resolved. What happens is they give you 45 seconds to resolve it on your own. If it goes away, then they don't call you.

Insurance required me to have a security system, and my IT guy told me about Abode. It's very good and easy to work with. I like being able to use the app on the phone and control from it. Overall, I trust the system.

I was looking for a home security system since I bought a house and I wanted one that was compatible with Apple Home, so I went with Abode. It works fine and it's all running automated through Apple Home. I am satisfied with the service.

I was online looking up different security systems and comparing the features to what I used to have, and decided on Abode because of its features and the compatibility with Google Home. It’s fairly basic and the performance hasn't been outstanding, but it’s working and I feel that I'm generally safe using it. The integration has broken periodically and hasn’t been updated very much. I contacted support, but did not get the best response and so, I figured it out on my own.

Another user recommended Abode to me. I have been impressed with its adaptability to work with just about anything off the market. Overall satisfied for the price point.

I was looking to replace my security provider, and I came across Abode. My home security before was decent. But I ended up getting some more cameras and equipment from Abode. I like the variety of devices they have, from basement temperature and water monitors, to the interaction with other Z-wave devices that I can add to it, as well as the ability of the cameras to monitor everything from my phone. My last provider didn't provide these, unless I wanted to invest a lot of money. So, I chose Abode from an overall price perspective and for the ease of setup and use. I also didn't need somebody to come out to my house because I could do it all myself.

I was looking for a variety of specific features for a reasonable cost, a level of control over how the system operates, and being able to have a level of DIY to the system. That’s when I found Abode online. It's a good balance where it's not overly costly. And I have enjoyed some of the features even on a basic level, having temperature monitoring through some of their sensors.
