InGrid is one of just a handful of nationwide security companies. InGridrsquo;s national footprint allows us to bring you breakthrough safety features and advanced services that most other security companies cannot offer. /p p We cooperate with over 25,000 local police, fire and medical agencies in all 50 states. InGridrsquo;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. Itrsquo;s just another part of InGridrsquo;s commitment to rapid response. /p H3Whatrsquo;s in the box /H3 pThe 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./p pbGrid Controllers ndash; Your Personal Grid of Protection./b 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./p pbThe Handset ndash; Better Control Means Better Safety./b 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./p pbThe Console ndash; Not a Typical Keypad./b 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)./p pbThe Keychain Remote ndash; Reliable Control at the Touch of a Button./b 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./p table style="width: 100%;" cellpadding=10 width=100 vspace=10 hspace=10 border="0" tr style="width: 100%;" td style="width: 100%;" img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/detail-page/B0015YITJE_3_images.jpg" border=0 /td /tr /table /body /html

 Think twice November 4, 2008

After purchasing this, they then try to get you to sign their service agreement. br /I want everyone to be aware of a couple things: br /1.) In spite of the fact you pay a premium for the equipment, it completely diactivates should you ever cancel the service, and you are left with a bunch of useless equipment. br /2.) There is a 2 year minimum contract br /3.) Also, even though there is no finincial risk to InGrid should you cancel early, they slap you with a $175 early termination fee if you should cancel before 2 years. br / br / br /You might want to be aware of these things before you buy. br /I should add that I tried to cancel my service immediatly after becoming aware of these things after reading their SLA, and the lady on the phone was about as insistent I stat as an AOL br / br /rep, and lo and behold they still shipped out the order today and charged my credit card (I canceled 2 hours after placing the order, after hours, and here it is 3pm the next day and they br / br /shipped it anyways, so I'm sure the request to cancel was completely ignored)
 Great Alarm System November 1, 2008
Gadget Girl (Alexandria, VA)
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? br / br /Installation br / -All door and window sensors "stick on" - no wires, no screws, anyone can install! br / -Console requires a nearby plug, but otherwise easy to install anywhere br / -Cordless handset just requires a wall plug br / br /What is Included? br / -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 br / -Window and door sensors (extra sensors available on Amazon) br / br /Easy online monitoring of your home br / -View the status of your system br / -Arm or disarm your system remotely (i.e. for the cleaning lady, a neighbor, etc) br / -Edit contact settings for alarm notifications br / -Arm/disarm individual sensors (so you can leave an upstairs window open but still arm the system, etc.) br / -View the history - see if the kids armed properly before leaving, fix it online if they did not br / -Optional video monitoring available with camera and nominal extra monthly fee br / br /Other Features br / br / -Notification settings for events can include: burglar alarm, wireless internet out, etc. You control online. br / -Set up to 4 notification contacts for events - text messaging or e-mail addresses br / -InGrid will call a person, plus other added courtesy contacts (such as a neighbor, if desired), to verify alarm before calling authorities br / -"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. br / -Arm and disarm via "keychain remote" - one is included, others available on Amazon br / -Optional fire alarm can be purchased, which will notify security company of a fire. (With my cooking, I am not using this feature!) br / br /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). br / br /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. br / br /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. br / br /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!
 With a little thought, could have been perfect October 30, 2008
Michael P. Bricker (San Diego, CA)
Very good security system, easy to install, great instructions. For the most part, works as advertised, with a few exceptions. The range of the window/door sensors is limited. I would advise purchasing another grid extender if your home is anywhere over 2000 square feet. Not a big deal, but annoying. Now for the senseless part - the included cordless phone is 2.4 GHz, which is the same frequency as all of the wireless routers sold today, LinkSys, NetGear and D-Link all operate at the same frequency. So your phone communications have lots of interference if you use this phone. With a little THOUGHT, the engineers (?) that designed this could have included the wireless phone at 5.8 GHz and everything would have worked just fine... Good product, could have been great...
 worst item i ever brought August 26, 2008

It will charge you monthly fees (20 for self-monitoring and 30 for professional) For self-monitoring, it never mentioned anywhere that you will be charged for 20/mo. So if you don't want to pay the monthly fee, don't buy this item.
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. br / br /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.
