The good news: Cove’s monitoring is cheap and well reviewed, and it has a local touchscreen panel with battery backup.
The bad news: Every Cove system needs a monitoring plan to work, so the hardware is of little use without Cove’s service. It is also a small company that shares little about its finances.
If you own Cove
- Keep your plan active if you rely on the system, since it needs one to work.
- Before buying, check the total cost of the plan over a few years.
