Iris sounds like a cool system, but my concern is that there is no loud siren if something were to occur. In reading other reviews, the main base has a siren, but it’s not loud. If someone breaks into your house, I would assume hearing a loud siren will get them running. I purchased a DIY system called SimpliSafe. It’s pretty much the same (in terms of the security features) except it has a louder alarm and the ability to purchase multiple alarms to put around your house. Also, with SimpliSafe, if you are paying for monitoring which is $15/month, it goes through cellular which means you’re always connected. It doesn’t have the texting feature unless you pay more for it which is what I really like about Iris. Without the louder alarm, I think I’m going to keep SimpliSafe over Iris. I assume Iris will eventually release expandable siren components down the road. Also, to address Crazed Jason, I have an ADT sign in my front yard. I may not be using your services, but I’m advertising that I do!
