COMPLETE REVIEW

MONI is an American home security company with its headquarters in Dallas, Texas. With over twenty years in the business, MONI is a seasoned, reliable home security provider. The company offers several different security options for anyone’s pocket and preference. MONI uses only the latest security tech and allows you to customize your package to your specifications. They cover your security with around the clock monitoring and provide stellar customer support.

Monitoring

Unlike some other home security providers we reviewed, MONI allows you to mix their security equipment with the device you might have purchased in the past from other companies. This can save you a great deal of money since there are some companies that are very strict about mixing their equipment with other manufacturers’. MONI is a modern firm so they apply the latest – cellular standard in connecting their device. The cellular connection has proven to be the most secure, since landlines and wireless connections can be severed thus compromising your security system. In remote areas where it can’t be set up, MONI can install the system based on a preexisting landline.

Although some other home security monitoring systems are DIY, MONI is a strictly professional company and they require their security technicians to install your system. This can be an added cost, but if you’re not too tech-savvy, it can also be a great relief knowing your security system is properly set up. MONI offers 17 additional security devices you can include in any plan you choose. These include pan-and-tilt and night vision cameras, live feed streams and remote locks.

The standard package comes with a very basic set of sensors and detectors, a key fob, a standard control panel, a few decals and a control panel. Despite the very basic offer, you can include many other sensors (fire, flood, CO2) as well as the ability to use your main control panel as a two-way intercom. The motion sensor in the package allows much bigger pets (up to 80 lbs.) to walk freely without triggering any alarms. All equipment you end up buying, whether it’s through a package or as an add-on, comes with a lifetime warranty meaning MONI is responsible for servicing and replacing it.

Features:

  • Heat, Smoke and Freeze Monitoring
  • Carbon Monoxide Monitoring
  • Water Detection
  • Medical Monitoring
  • Keychain Remote
  • Door / Window Sensors
  • Pet-Sensitive Motion Detector
  • Full-color Touch-Screen Keypad
Pricing

MONI offers three home security plans and three equipment packages with a standard three-year contact. If you decide to cancel your contract before its end date, you will be required to pay 80 percent of the remaining amount of your commitment.

Performance

MONI is a highly secure home monitoring system that comes in three different plans that can be customized at any point. All equipment has a lifetime warranty and has to be installed by MONI security technicians.
