Will fuck off, again.
This is awesome. I’m considering a wholesale switchover to Telus for all my services (home and mobile) in the new year. They are setting up to be a powerhouse.

On a side note, TELUS already bought out Alarm Force a few years back and TELUS is already selling those packages that include cameras, doorbell cams, remote surveillance from PC and smart phones etc...I have been using it for about 1.5 years now and it is pretty slick.

Will do! I’m trying to time it such that they will buy out the remainder of my Shaw contract. (June 2020)This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

dont you mean Bell bought Alarm Force last year?
Our contract with ADT is ending up next year, hopefully we can get a cheaper rate for a plan similar to Telus Protect Plan.
Telus is putting a fuck ton of money and effort into IoT, so not surprised at all at the acquisition.

My home alarm was with Paladin Technologies which was bought by Telus as well. I've been switched over to Telus since the end of June I believe.

Bell and TELUS both went in on the purchase of Alarm Force. Bell took the eastern component and customers, while TELUS took the western market. I guess "technically" Bell bought it, but, the whole aquisition of Alarm Force was hinged on TELUS chipping in $66.5 million of the $182 million purchase price.

TELUS has been going all-in when it comes to IoT. It's a big headache for me, but, it is a smart move on their part. Everything is going to be interconnected, and TELUS is getting ahead of it and making itself a solution. The stuff going on in the background is pretty awesome.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Maybe it’s just me, but i’ve never seen the point in a home security system. I have lived inner city all my life and the worst I’ve had to deal with is people checking my car doors, and once checking the garage (excluding sunalta, which is a shit hole).

Crime is way worse in the inner city than the Burbs. That and far out you have to worry about teens messing around, inner city it’s desperate crackheads.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I've had a break in and it sucks, the security system makes the difference between a smash and dash vs cleaning your place out. I was fortunate enough to come home to the bastard still in my house, chased him away so he only got away with the stuff in his pockets, everything else was in the stolen van parked close by. Called to get an alarm installed the next day.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

The stickers on the windows is 95% of the deterrent to not make you the low hanging fruit. I like the smoke detector being monitored as well. That could literally save a house from total loss.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think the Vivint $80/month systems are insane but for half that you can get basic monitoring and additional peace of mind if you vacation a lot.
Big consolidation in this industry as we started with APX who got bought by ADT and now into Telus. I think the proliferation of smart homes and self-monitored security systems makes this a great sell for ADT and a weak buy for Telus, but I don't even know what IoT stands for, so... WtF do I know!!?
What does IoT mean?
LoL.
Yep, that and flood as well as temperature monitoring can go a long way in saving your house from massive damage. Crooks aren't the only thing that can screw up your day.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
IoT = Internet of ThingsThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
The definition of the Internet of things has evolved due to the convergence of multiple technologies, real-time analytics, machine learning, commodity sensors, and embedded systems.[5] Traditional fields of embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, control systems, automation (including home and building automation), and others all contribute to enabling the Internet of Things. In the consumer market, IoT technology is most synonymous with products pertaining to the concept of the "smart home", covering devices and appliances (such as lighting fixtures, thermostats, home security systems and cameras, and other home appliances) that support one or more common ecosystems, and can be controlled via devices associated with that ecosystem, such as smartphones and smart speakers.

I had united alarm for $20/mo when I moved in. Paid for a year and cancelled. Still have stickers and lawn sign and feel like I'm getting good value for current $0/mo.
Wife forgets to lock door on the regular, so I feel like an alarm is overkill.
