According to our alarm system expert
With the Home8 Security Starter kit, you'll have a complete set to secure your home. The set consists of an HD camera, a siren, a motion sensor, 2 magnetic contacts, and a remote control. The included base station is connected to your home network, allowing you to receive a notification via your smartphone app (iOS, Android, and Windows) in the event that the system detects something. Footage will be stored in the (free) cloud for up to 30 days. When the system detects something, the camera will switch on immediately and the indoor 110-decibel siren will be set off. The connected smartphones will receive a notification, allowing you to watch a live feed of what's happening at home. Based on who is configured as a preset user (owner, user, or emergency contact), you can take just the right action after the notification. The owner, for instance, can be forwarded straight to emergency services.
You can expand the alarm system with Home8 accessories of your own choosing, including an additional outdoor camera.Home8 offers 2 types of alarm system service. The comprehensive basic service is free. The premium service (which allows you to report video alarms and review recorded footage via the app 24/7) costs 7.95 euro per month, but the first 12 months are free.

Installation is very smooth and easy. Control via app is slow (finding the system) to turn on and off. After a while, the sensors lose contact with the system. You can add them again, but they disappear again. This has nothing to do with the distance, sometimes they are also the closest. In 1 year had 5 false alarms at night from the motion sensors. No pets, no cobwebs, nothing. Anything but pleasant in the middle of the night. After 1 year the free subscription expires and you have to pay, but then apparently there is no subscription for this package! Seems like a good package at first, but already had too many problems with it.
