So: Why would you? With wireless technology opening up new possibilities, you can get some really high quality cameras that are downright easy to install and still produce good quality. We’re going to walk through the benefits and the bummers and give you the tools to choose for yourself. To help in your search, I built a home security camera comparison tool to help you out. The benefit to wireless cameras (and I mean REALLY wireless AKA battery powered), is that they are incredibly easy to install and to move. That way, you’re more likely to install more of them and in more places. That is, unless you like fiberglass inside your clothes and drilling holes in the outside of your house. You can put multiple cameras around your house and have more opportunities to catch a good picture of the burglars face. This video of a burglary captured on a security camera gives you an idea of how hard it can be to get a quality picture of a burglar’s face, even when he isn’t wearing a hat or hoodie. When is Wireless Really Wireless? Don’t be fooled: Plenty of people think “wireless” means no cables. You too? Sorry, you’ll still have to run power for most cameras. What does wireless really mean? Strictly speaking, it means no wires, of course. But, what you’ll really get when doing a search for wireless cameras is a list of cameras that transmit their video feeds using wireless protocols (WiFi) but still require a power source that is very dependent on wires. Chances are, you are searching for wireless cameras exactly because you want to avoid drilling holes in walls, eaves, or attics to run cables all over your home or business. That’s why, when you use our comparison tool, you can search for cameras that have wireless power sources too (AKA batteries). Finding the Best Wireless Home Security Cameras of 2015 You can follow along in a new tab if you like: Click on the “Wireless Data” dropdown and select “Yes” and “Both.” Click on the “Wireless Power” dropdown and select “Yes.” Yep, it’s just that easy. Here’s the current list: You can take a look at the features offered by each camera, and you can even filter on other features that you’d like to have. Or, you can sort by cost if you aren’t that worried about the quality of the camera and just want something that’s affordable. The Drawback of a Truly Wireless Camera Here’s the catch: You may have guessed it, but these cameras have to play some tricks to extend their battery life to something that you’ll tolerate. They do that by minimizing the amount of recording they do. So, don’t expect to be reviewing hours of video of your empty house or your grass growing. Sensors on the cameras will “wake it up” when something happens so that it can capture video while something notable is happening. It will relay the information via your network, and then settle down for its next nap. Meanwhile, depending on the camera, you can get a notification pushed to your phone with an image or a video clip taken by the camera and will be able to log in to review video of the event. So, you can watch the UPS man tossing your package onto the porch from 5 feet away. I’m sure you’re wondering what kind of battery life to expect. Of course, that depends on how often the camera wakes up to record video, but the Netgear Arlo claims a possible battery life of 6 months. That’s pretty impressive, but I would bet on something under that for typical use. Here’s an idea of the battery life claimed by the manufacturers for those 3 cameras: Netgear Arlo – up to 6 months Netgear VueZone – up to 6 months Viper Home – up to 1 year Netgear clarifies that the 6 month battery life is based on 5 minutes of recording a day. So, if you schedule the camera to record for longer, log on to view the live feed several times a day, or have the camera in a highly active area, you can plan for the battery life to scale down from there. After that, you’ll have to bring it in to recharge. Hopefully, we helped you narrow your search for the best wireless home security cameras and saved you some time. If so, pay it forward by sharing this article with your friends.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Security Camera System]]></category> <link>https://www.technovetro.com/SecurityCameraSystem/best-wireless-home-security-cameras-system-reviews</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.technovetro.com/SecurityCameraSystem/best-wireless-home-security-cameras-system-reviews</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 20 Nov 2024 16:47:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Best Rated wireless home Security Cameras Systems</title> <description>Dropcam HD Hi-Fi Wireless Video Monitoring Camera The Dropcam HD wireless monitoring camera installs quickly and provides a live feed to a monitor, computer, or smartphone.

A DVR plan is also available so that consumers can store recorded video for later viewing. The camera has a microphone and speakers so that consumers can communicate with others through the camera. For a close-up view, the camera offers a remote zoom feature. Infrared technology provides for clear images at night, and the camera installs indoors or outdoors. A popular online technology review site recommends this camera because it is easy to set up and use, and it notes that the video images this camera produces are quality as well. It also notes the convenience of the cloud service that receives the images, so that users are not using up large amounts of memory on their computers or phones, and with the DVR plan, the cloud service also stores any saved videos. Consumers can also share stored videos with others if desired. ZMODO 720P HD Wi-Fi Wireless Network IP Camera The ZMODO 720P wireless security camera produces a quality, high definition video image that feeds to a monitor or computer. The camera also provides a QR code that users scan to activate the feed to an app available on most smartphones. With this feature, users can view the footage inside or outside of their home or business from anywhere. An alert feature sends email or text messages to the consumer to alert of any activity. This security camera also has a motion sensor, and users can set up the camera to automatically record footage when the motion sensor triggers. Although the camera has a microphone to provide audio along with the video, it does not have speakers to allow conversation through the camera. Infrared technology provides black and white images at night, while daytime images are in full color. A surveillance website recommends this camera because of its smartphone capabilities and for the quality images it produces. The site also notes that the camera is a good value. Samsung Smartcam SNH-1011 Camera The Samsung Smartcam SNH-1011 offers both sound and video feed that consumers view on a computer or smartphone. The feed also links to a secure and private YouTube account for when consumers want to record footage. The infrared technology of this wireless security camera allows for viewing in total darkness; the infrared feature automatically turns off in well-lit settings. Furthermore, a motion sensor detects movement, and users can set the camera to record when the motion sensor triggers. A similar feature triggers when the camera picks up sound, and the camera has a built-in speaker. The microphone in the camera allows for conversation through the camera. For indoor use only, this camera is popular because it is easy to install and set up the software. Users also think this camera provides quality images and find the activity alerts that the system sends via email or text messaging beneficial because of the immediacy of the alert. A popular online technology site recommends this camera because of the ease in viewing images on a smartphone using the free app. Samsung manufactures other Smartcam security cameras with similar features to this model as well. D-Link Cloud Camera 1050 Camera The D-Link Cloud Camera 1050 provides wireless transmission of video. A cloud provides storage for the feeds from the camera so that consumers are not using up precious memory space on their computer, smartphone, or tablet. A leading technology website cites this camera's IP connection foolproof, noting the ease of installing the camera. The site also recommends this camera because it does not use the amount of bandwidth that some other IP security cameras use. This is beneficial for consumers who have limits on the amount of bandwidth their ISP allows them each month. This particular model is for daytime use or in well-lit areas as it does not have infrared technology providing night vision. However, other models in the D-link cloud camera line do have night vision. The camera is small and lightweight, aiding in installation in most any location. It also comes with a Wi-Fi extender that boosts the user's wireless signal to avoid problems with signal strength. The D-Link 1050 also offers both sound and motion sensors, and users can set the system to automatically record footage upon activation of the sensors. Indoor or outdoor installation is an option for this wireless security camera.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Security Camera System]]></category> <link>https://www.technovetro.com/SecurityCameraSystem/best-rated-wireless-home-security-cameras-systems</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.technovetro.com/SecurityCameraSystem/best-rated-wireless-home-security-cameras-systems</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 10 Nov 2024 16:47:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Home webcam Security</title> <description>Then you need some software which can record the feed from a webcam either continuously or – more usually – when motion is detected.

There are good free applications, such as iSpy Connect, as well as paid-for software such as SightHound (formerly Vitamin D) When you install the software, it should provide a list of connected webcams, and may support multiple cameras. You can then configure ‘zones’ which are rectangular areas within the webcam’s view which will be used for detecting motion. You might select your baby’s cot, a cat flap or door, or the space where you park your car. You want to avoid including objects that move, such as trees swaying in the wind or passing traffic. Otherwise you’ll end up with too much footage to review. Good software will provide a playback console which shows recorded clips on a timeline so you can quickly watch clips recorded when movement was detected. Depending on the software, there might be options to send an email (along with a jpg image) or a text message when motion is detected, upload the clip to YouTube or an FTP server, or even play a recorded message, such as you telling your dog to stop barking (iSpy can be configured to respond to audio triggers as well as motion). It’s worth trialling a webcam for security or home monitoring before investing in an IP camera since it needn’t cost you a penny if you already have a webcam. The downsides to using a webcam is that you’ll need to leave your PC on constantly, which could make for an expensive electricity bill as well as the potential shortening of your PC’s life, especially if it gets hot after running for long periods. Another issue is that your PC may not be near the spot you want to monitor, and USB extension cables will get you only so far. Finally, if you place a webcam facing out of a window, you may get reflections at different times of the day as the sun’s position changes. Plus, the vast majority of webcams will be useless at night unless there’s good street lighting or – if you’re monitoring indoors – you keep a light on. The advantage of using an IP camera instead of a webcam is that you won’t need to leave a computer running. The IP stands for Internet Protocol, and essentially means that they connect to your router (usually via Wi-Fi) and therefore can be mounted anywhere in Wi-Fi range where there’s a power source. As they connect to your router, you can view the real-time footage from any computer on your home network (or a smartphone or tablet if it works in their web browser or has a dedicated app). As with webcams, you can install software on a PC to record footage when motion is detected, but it’s better to opt for a camera with a microSD card slot for recording footage. You won’t need to remove the card to view the footage: it should be possible to do this via a web browser or dedicated app or Windows software. Features to look for include infrared night vision, which will record lower quality but usable footage in almost complete darkness. You may also want one with all-weather housing that won’t be damaged by rain if mounted outdoors. Finally, pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) cameras allow you to remotely adjust where the camera is pointing and zoom in to see more detail. The cheapest IP cameras (around £60) may not have HD resolutions, and it’s well worth spending extra for better image quality, rather than opting for a cheap PTZ camera with poor image quality.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Home Security]]></category> <link>https://www.technovetro.com/HomeSecurity/home-webcam-security</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.technovetro.com/HomeSecurity/home-webcam-security</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 31 Oct 2024 15:35:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>ADT home Security Alarm</title> <description>ADT Pulse Interactive Services Required with any mention of ADT Pulse ADT Pulse Interactive Solutions Services, which help you manage your home environment and family lifestyle, requires the purchase and/or activation of an ADT ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/joe_raedle_pictures_getty_images.jpg" alt="The keypad to an ADT home" align="left" /><p>ADT Pulse Interactive Services Required with any mention of ADT Pulse ADT Pulse Interactive Solutions Services, which help you manage your home environment and family lifestyle, requires the purchase and/or activation of an ADT alarm system with monitored burglary service and a compatible computer, cell phone or PDA with Internet and email access.

If you do and you aren’t using I can almost guarantee that you are paying too much. There are way too many problems with the traditional players in the home security industry. So first, here’s a list of the the most maddening practices of many home alarm monitoring companies (then we’ll get to the solution). Contracts. Most home alarm monitoring companies will make you sign a contract for the honor (sarcasm intended) of doing business with them. Some have even unwittingly duped consumers into signing contract terms of 3 years or longer! And the worst part is that some of these companies insert even worse things into the fine print of these contracts. “Zombie contracts” has become the term of choice for perpetuating terms that are nearly impossible to opt out of. I really hope you aren’t in one of these as it is incredibly difficult to kick them to the curb. They keep you locked in at painfully high monthly service rates with almost no hope of ever leaving.You seriously almost need to hire a lawyer to get rid of these creeps. So never sign a contract. Never . Expensive systems. This is actually a double edged sword. You’ll get screwed either way it's sliced. Many home alarm companies charge a lot to put a system into your home and the equipment isn’t cheap either. Sometimes it is even a proprietary system (think ADT) that won’t allow you to switch providers without having to resort to purchasing all new equipment from your next provider! And if the company doesn’t charge a lot for equipment and installation they’ll roll it into the cost of monitoring. That means greatly inflated monthly costs. It’s basically a lose/lose situation. High monthly fees. Most major home monitoring companies have rates that start in the $30 a month range and can shoot even higher than that pretty quickly. Some people pay upwards of $600 a year for alarm monitoring at their home. I cringe at that thought. Landline monitoring . It’s a thing of the past. But many home alarm companies quote rates based on you having a landline in your home. If you have cut the local phone at your home (and you probably should) then the rates will jump up for their cellular or wireless monitoring packages. So that advertised rate of $18 a month suddenly becomes $30+ when you tell them you don’t have a landline. Are there any good options? I know I’ve just painted a bleak picture of the industry. There are some decent local services out there providing home alarm monitoring. There are some that won’t make you sign a contract and won’t hit you over the head with ridiculous fees. Those are not the majority though and many people sign up with either the largest companies that charge the most or the companies with the pressure tactics and awful business practices. That is why my recommendation has been and continues to be Simpli Safe. They are bar none the best value for home alarm monitoring out there. The cost? $15 a month for cellular monitoring . No landline needed. Simpli Safe is using modern technology to monitor your home which cuts down on your incurred costs. You buy your own equipment and install it at your home yourself. It takes about 15 minutes and the equipment cost is very low. Simpli Safe isn’t taking you to the cleaners for the system you are purchasing. You can also move equipment from home to home easily. This gives you incredible flexibility. You can also buy refurbished systems on their site to save even more money. Basically, if you want the whole package, go with Simpli Safe. They are the best and cheapest home security system. There’s a low upfront cost to you. The flexibility is fantastic. The monthly price is the lowest I’ve ever heard of. Oh, and the customer service is awesome too! Disclaimer: I am a customer of Simpli Safe. I am writing this only because I actually use them and really enjoy their service. I have been paid nothing for this post and have received nothing free because of it. I just love Simpli Safe!</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Best Home Security]]></category> <link>https://www.technovetro.com/BestHomeSecurity/best-home-security-deals</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.technovetro.com/BestHomeSecurity/best-home-security-deals</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 11 Oct 2024 15:24:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Home alarm Systems Without Monitoring</title> <description>As you search for the right security system for your home, you might be wondering about the differences between having an unmonitored system compared to a monitored system.

However, there are many good home security systems sold in kit forms that can be installed by any do-it-yourselfer. Most simple systems use a bell, loud buzzer, or other sound source to note intrusion. Installation involves mounting the sound source or sounder in a location where it can be easily heard. Then attach a circuit of switches to the sounder and connect a battery to the system. Since the sounder operates from the battery, it remains an effective alarm system even in the event of a power failure. Alternately, battery-operated remote wireless sensors and controls can be installed. However, make sure that batteries are replaced regularly. In electrical terminology, this alarm system is called a closed-circuit system. When the doors and windows are shut, the attached switches are closed. Because all the switches are in a wiring loop, opening any one of them breaks the loop and triggers the sounder circuit. Simply closing the door or window, moreover, does not restore the switch loop circuit continuity and does not stop the sound until either the battery becomes exhausted or someone switches off the circuit from battery to sounder. There is an electronic switch built into the sounder. This switch is turned on by breaking the magnetic-switch loop. A key-operated switch in the sounder circuit allows you to turn the alarm system completely off when it is not needed. Also, once the alarm goes on, operating the key switch is the only way to silence the sounder. Only someone who has a key to the switch can reset the system. The switch device consists of two parts that look much alike: one small plastic box that contains a strong magnet, and another that contains the actual switch. When magnet and switch are not near each other, the switch contacts are separated and the switch is open. On the other hand, when the magnet and switch are near each other, the switch contacts move together and the switch closes. The magnet part of the device is screwed to a door or window, and the switch part is screwed to the door or window frame. Thus, opening a door or window separates magnet from switch, causing the switch to open and trigger the alarm. The three electronic parts that comprise the solid-state switch of the alarm sounder are mounted on a circuit board. Under the circuit board are a solenoid coil and a plunger that strikes the bell or activates the electronic sounder. Below the coil is a set of breaker points that causes the plunger to vibrate up and down, activating the sound source. Installing the Components Install the sounder first. Decide where you want it located - either to attract the most attention for help or to scare away an intruder. If you decide to mount the sounder outdoors, you must drill a hole through the wall for the wires. To shield the sounder from the weather, you should install it in a protective metal box of the type made especially for alarm sounders. Inside the box is a bracket for mounting a tamper switch that sets off the alarm system if someone tries to open the alarm sounder box. Located in the side of the box is the key switch that allows a person with a key (but no one else) to activate, service, reset, or deactivate the alarm system. If you want the sounder to be located indoors, you need not install it in a protective metal box. Mount the sounder on the wall in a place where it can be heard easily. Placing an indoor sounder in a closet or other confined space is not recommended. The kit should include a mounting backplate attached to the sounder by a mounting screw. Remove the nut and separate the backplate from the sounder. You will see a pattern of holes in the backplate. Using wood screws, toggle bolts, or other suitable fasteners, attach the plate to the wall at the place you have chosen to position the sounder. Mount the backplate with enough fasteners to hold the sounder solidly in place. Make sure that the plate is mounted right side up, and that the correct side is forward. There is usually a tongue on the backplate that should be at the top when it is mounted properly. Do not connect the sounder to the backplate until later. You will find that the protective box for an outdoor installation already contains a built-in backplate. Mount the box in the desired location. Next, install the door and window switches. The magnet part goes on the door or window, while the switch part goes on the window frame or doorjamb. Use the mounting screws in the kit to attach the parts. Try to position the two parts of the switch so that they are close together - almost touching - when the window or door is closed, and widely separated when the door or window starts to open. If you wish, you can include fire sensor switches in the loop of entry-detection switches. Use the kind of fire sensor switch that breaks the loop when the air temperature in its vicinity reaches 135 degrees Farenheit. Since that is more than the air temperature is ever likely to reach normally - except in attics, furnace rooms, or over wood or coal stoves or other high-heat producers - you will never experience false alarms during hot weather. Install 190 degrees Farenheit sensors in normally hot locations. You should mount the fire sensor switches in the spots where you feel they will be most effective. There is no reason why you cannot put one or more sensor in every room that is being wired for the security system. Consider using current-conducting window foil tape for additional security. Silver foil with a self-adhesive backing is probably available where you purchase your alarm system. It is designed to trigger the alarm if an intruder breaks the glass in a door or a window. During installation, make sure there are no breaks in the foil that you stick on the glass; the tape must be continuous. Self-adhesive foil terminals or connectors at the ends of the foil tapes let you connect the loop circuit wiring, and a flexible door cord allows you to open a foil-taped door or window without setting off the alarm system.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Home Security Systems]]></category> <link>https://www.technovetro.com/HomeSecuritySystems/installing-home-security-systems</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.technovetro.com/HomeSecuritySystems/installing-home-security-systems</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 21 Sep 2024 15:09:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Comcast Xfinity Home customer service</title> <description>In addition to providing TV and Internet, Comcast Xfinity also offers a home security and home automation service that can be bundled together with their other services.

It offers standalone security packages that start at $39.95/mo., and bundled packages starting at $69.99/mo. One thing to note is Comcast Home Security is more expensive than the average home security provider. To see how their pricing compares, see the table below: Rank Chart Monthly Price Upfront Costs Has Video Our Score #1 $19.99 $0 Yes 9.4 #2 $34.99 $99.95 9.1 #3 $24.99 8.8 #89 $39.95 $99 to $399 5.6 The Good 24/7 Professional Monitoring Home Automation Controls Remotely Arm and Disarm System Cellular and Battery Backup Fire and Carbon Monoxide Monitoring Comcast Home Security offers a reliable home security solution with equipment similar to that offered by most other security companies. If you’re looking for home automation solutions, Comcast has made this service available within all of their home security packages. However, to enable home automation you many need to purchase additional equipment. We also like that they offer fire and carbon monoxide monitoring along with real-time text & email alerts. The Bad More Expensive Than The Average Home Security Provider High Installation Fees ($50-$349) Minimum 2-Year Agreement Requires Xfinity Internet Service Comcast Home Security does have some drawbacks. For example, to enable home automation additional hardware will need to be purchased. Also, you’ll need to pay for Comcast’s Xfinity Internet service. You cannot use your existing Internet service provider to connect Comcast’s security equipment. Based on user reviews we’ve received, common customer complaints have included issues with malfunctioning equipment, issues connecting with the mobile app, unreasonable early termination fees, and poor customer service. The Bottom Line For existing Comcast customers, it may be convenient to bundle your TV + Phone + Home Security together with one company. However, many existing and past customers have expressed issues with malfunctioning equipment, issues using and connecting the mobile app, unreasonable fees, and poor customer service. If you’re not an existing customer of Comcast, we recommend you research other home security providers as many offer more flexible contracts, cheaper monthly service fees, and little to no upfront installation fees. Section 1 Acceptance of this Agreement; Term. “The initial term of this Agreement (the “Initial Term”) shall begin on the date of your acceptance of this Agreement and shall end thirty-six (36) months from that date. THEREAFTER, THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON A MONTH-TO-MONTH BASIS UNTIL TERMINATED BY EITHER PARTY, unless you agree to an additional minimum term (collectively, with the Initial Term, the “Term”).” Why it’s important Once the 36 month contract is completed the agreement will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis until the customer or Comcast ends the agreement. Section 2 TERMINATION FEE. “YOU AGREE THAT THE FEES DUE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE INITIAL TERM ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR PRICING PLAN OR IDENTIFIED ON THE WORK ORDER ARE BASED ON YOUR AGREEMENT TO RECEIVE AND PAY FOR THE SERVICES FOR THE FULL INITIAL TERM. ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE THAT: IF YOU TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT DURING ITS INITIAL TERM, YOU WILL PAY THE COMPANY AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO (A) $1320, LESS $120 FOR EACH PERIOD OF THREE (3) FULL CALENDAR MONTHS DURING WHICH YOU MAINTAINED SERVICE IF YOU HAVE SECURE 350 SERVICE, OR (B) $1100, LESS $100 FOR EACH PERIOD OF THREE (3) FULL CALENDAR MONTHS DURING WHICH YOU MAINTAINED SERVICE IF YOU HAVE SECURE 300 SERVICE. THIS AMOUNT IS A TERMINATION FEE AND IS AN AGREED UPON AMOUNT OF DAMAGES, NOT A PENALTY. YOUR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A BROADBAND CONNECTION COMPATIBLE WITH THE SERVICES, AS DETERMINED BY COMPANY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, SHALL CONSTITUTE YOUR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, FOR WHICH YOU SHALL BE SUBJECT TO AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE.” If at any time during the initial contract period the customer decides to terminate the agreement then they are required to pay the remaining balance in full. Also, if the customer does not or cannot maintain a broadband connection that is compatible with the security system then this will also constitute a termination of the agreement. Section 3 Installation. “You agree that any portion of the System sold or provided to you by the Company may include new or refurbished, equipment. Refurbished equipment sold or provided to you will be in “like-new” condition.” Comcast can install used or refurbished equipment in the customers home. Section 5 Monitoring and other services “YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FOR A SEVEN (7) DAY PERIOD (OR SUCH LONGER PERIOD AS REQUIRED BY LAW), BEGINNING ON THE DATE OF THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR SYSTEM, EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WILL NOT BE CONTACTED ON INTRUSION ALARMS (“Familiarization Period”). You agree that Company has no obligation to, and will not, respond to intrusion signals from your home that are received at our alarm monitoring center. You also agree that during such period we have no obligation to, and will not, notify any authorities, you or your designated representative, or take any other action with regard to any intrusion alarm signal we receive, even if due to an actual emergency event.” For the first seven days after the installation date your system is essentially for decoration only. Comcast will not call you or emergency responders even in the case of a real emergency. Section 5 Continuation “IF THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, SUPPLIERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTRACTORS OR SUBCONTRACTORS ARE FOUND LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE DUE TO ITS OR THEIR NEGLIGENCE OR THE FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS OR THEIR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING INSTALLING, MONITORING, REPAIRING OR TAKING OVER THE SYSTEM, IN ANY RESPECT AT ALL, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY (INCLUDING JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY) WILL BE $250.00. THIS AMOUNT IS THE AGREED UPON DAMAGES, IS NOT A PENALTY AND SHALL BE CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.” If damage is done to your equipment or property due to their negligence and they are found liable for repayment the maximum they will pay is $250.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Xfinity Home Security]]></category> <link>https://www.technovetro.com/XfinityHomeSecurity/comcast-xfinity-home-customer-service</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.technovetro.com/XfinityHomeSecurity/comcast-xfinity-home-customer-service</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Sep 2024 15:08:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Hidden Security cameras for your home</title> <description>Our technical support hours are 9-5 EST Monday through Friday.
