InGrid's national footprint allows us to bring you breakthrough safety features and advanced services that most other security companies cannot offer. Since you own your InGrid system, you can take it with you when you move.

We partner with over 25,000 local police, fire and medical agencies in all 50 states. InGrid's monitoring center has spent years developing and maintaining the proprietary databases and relationships to know who to call so that during an emergency, time is not wasted getting you help. It's just another part of InGrid's commitment to rapid response.

Whats in the box

The InGrid Home System includes a Keypad Console, Handset, Eight Sensors a Keychain Remote, Base and Grid Extender for increased range. InGrid also offers the "Basic System" for homes and apartments less than 1,500 square feet. The only thing you need to operate your security system is a high-speed Internet connection, an in-home router, and InGrid Home Monitoring service (once again, no annual contract is required). Please note that your InGrid security system cannot be activated without a subscription to an InGrid home monitoring plan ($29.99/month with no annual contract).

The Console  Not a Typical Keypad.
The InGrid Keypad Console gives you everything you'd expect from a security system keypad, plus a whole lot more. Not only does the Keypad Console act as your command central, it also acts as information central, displaying up-to-the minute weather as well as severe weather alerts. Need help remembering things? The console can also display customized notifications on the easy-to-read screen (such as important dates like birthdays and anniversaries).

The Handset  Better Control Means Better Safety.
The Handset, which doubles as a cordless phone, can be taken with you anywhere in and around your home. Your system's controls and panic button are always at hand. Instead of a single keypad anchored by your front door, you're now free to roam your home, backyard or porch AND have instant access to your home's protection. What's more, the handset allows you to monitor activity in other rooms of your home. A phone line is not required for your security connection, but is required to use the handset as a cordless phone or digital answering machine.

Door/Window/Cabinet Sensors
Door/window sensors, also known as open/close sensors, are designed to detect the opening of a window, door or cabinet. These sensors are the most common component of any security system, typically used on exterior doors and windows.

InGrid's sensors can be used for non-emergency notification on things such as on firearm, medicine, or liquor cabinets. Sensors can trigger an email, text message or MyInGrid event indicating that something has been moved or opened.

The Keychain Remote
Of all the innovations built into InGrid, none is more convenient than the keychain remote. Arm or disarm your home or trigger a panic at the push of a button. Because the keychain remote is two-way, you can be 100% sure the system arms and disarms by hearing the confirmation beep or green light. With a common, analog keychain remote, you never know if the system arms or disarms correctly. That's not a secure feeling. The Keychain Remote's confirmation beep is just another way that InGrid makes you feel always-protected.

Grid Controller
InGrid is built to deliver a grid of protection. If any controller is disabled, others step in to allow the system to continue to function. This makes InGrid nearly burglar-proof, as there is no single master control panel or point of vulnerability. And, every InGrid component comes with battery back-up to keep you safe in the event of power loss.

From the Manufacturer
InGrid was designed to go from box to full home protection in minutes. While InGrid can be set up in an average home by almost anyone in roughly 90 minutes, it is built to deliver far superior reliability and security compared to traditional systems. Since you install it yourself, there is no need for strangers to come to your home, drilling holes in your walls or special tools. If you can plug in a cordless phone, you can set up your own customized secure system, easily.

Each kit comes pre-configured; you simply open up each numbered box and plug in each component sequentially. When we designed InGrid, we created a system that offers superior home and family protection in every way possible. While most systems have a single point of vulnerability (a single master control panel that can be disabled in seconds), InGrid distributes the control points to several controllers, each a fully functioning mini-system that continually talks with all of the sensors. If one component is disabled, the others are still protecting you.

But InGrid is so much more than just home security; your system can also send you alerts and allow you to monitor non-emergency events that are just as important to your peace of mind. Whether you're on vacation, at the office, or out to dinner, you'll be able to tell who's coming and going, and when, without alarms or the police showing up.

InGrid Home Monitoring is included with your monthly security monitoring. Please note that your InGrid Security System cannot be activated without a monthly monitoring plan. With our 30-day risk-free guarantee and no annual contracts, there is no reason not to install InGrid and enjoy its superior protection, convenience and value.

Product Reviews

(5 stars) - Forget the big names in security
I had Brinks and ADT provide estimates. Both estimates consisted of scribbling and random numbers that made no sense. My wife wanted a security system and I knew that I wouldn't feel good about signing a 3-year contract with these guys.
I searched around for a better solution and found Ingrid. I ordered the 2,500 sq. ft. kit, and had it hooked up in about three hours.
This is honestly one of the coolest and most thought-through pieces of technology I have purchased in a while. Not only is it extremely configurable (ability to send notifications via email or SMS using a variety of different rules), expanding it is a piece of cake. I am planning on purchasing the siren detector and water leak detector. By the way, Brinks and ADT charge more for these devices AND charge an additional monthly monitoring fee.
The fact that I can control everything from the web is a huge advantage to me. Also, this qualifies for a discount from my home insurance company (State Farm) since it is a monitored service.
If you are considering a monitored home security system and don't want to deal with sleazy sales reps and ridiculous contracts, look no further than Ingrid. Lower monitoring fees and much better functionality.

(5 stars) - All the pros and none of the cons
I spent quite a bit of time researching home security systems and decided to get the InGrid system from Crutchfield. I'm very happy with my purchase. To start with there are no negative things like: two year contract, hidden costs, wires, required phone line, high-monthly fees, etc. The specific reason I chose this system is that I didn't want to have to pay for an extra phone line or get roped into a 2 year contract (@$34 a month!). I signed up for the $19.95 personal monitoring service to start with and may upgrade to the fully monitored system later. If you buy the base system direct from InGrid you also get things like the keychain remote, window stickers, etc. But, Crutchfield was cheaper and they also sold 2-packs of the wireless sensors. It took me a few hours to get the whole system set up and installed in my house. Activation took 10 minutes. And the support team over at InGrid was very helpful when I called up to ask a question about mobile access (they sent me a link to a web site so I can control the system via my mobile phone). I can log in to the InGrid site at any time and turn on or off the system and customize my alerts. I found out that the other sensors (smoke, glass break, and motion) are made by Honeywell and you can get them cheaper on security sites. I plan to expand my system over time and eventually add cameras and grid extenders. The InGrid support team told me that they get a lot of requests for outdoor cameras. If you order the fully monitored system ($29/mo.) you have an option to buy a cellular grid extender backup -- even though they don't mention it anywhere on their web site yet. I'm very happy with this purchase. It's easy to set up and manage and doesn't require long term contracts or extra phone line.

(5 stars) - Excellent design, good bargain. Actually costs less than others
Update: I have been using this for 6 months. No issues and continue to love the system. Overall cost and useful benefits still far outweigh the big guys.
-----------------

System design is excellent. Setup options allow greater flexibility than with other systems.

You can label your doors and specify specific at home/away options. Great if you want to secure the home, but still have access to your back patio.
User and notification options are great. It will notify you on specific scenarios. I have one setup for the housekeeper and a text is sent to me when he arrives and leaves.
The web-based access is great bc you can control remotely for those home repairs.
Dual reporting is neat. Primary is broadband internet with phone backup. Nice to have two options.

Base and handsets are nice and of good quality. Easy to use buttons to to perform all system functions. LED provide good indicator of system status.

System setup was easy. Base and console, then importantly the individual units one by one. Actually pretty cool watching is recognize, custom name, and constantly monitor. System gives you a status of all items at all times. It even told me once my internet was down!

The overall price of the package appears to be expensive at first. Many other professional systems you see advertised on TV offer the free or almost free package, but found out it was only for 3 doors and single pad. I installed 6 doors, including two in guesthouse. Added an extra handset; now have one in guest house and master. I even added the smoke alarm option. The price for all of this was substantially lower than what the free professional system added up when you wanted something more than basic. Just try and obtain all of these items from the so called 'free system' places.

Monitoring is how you obtain the best out of your system. Most burglaries and fires occur when you are not at home. I like how the fee is the same regardless of how many access points, handsets, with or without fire.

Would have given it 5 stars, but for two items. Couple of the batteries were dead. Also I stuck in learning mode and actively monitored. Contact service and they indicated I needed an alarm permit. Would have been nice to know when I activated the service in the beginning. Was able to obtain and easily rectified.

(5 stars) - great purchase
i am so thankful that i gotten this alarm. I tried several out before with ADT(at the office) alarmforce(which was a joke becuase the equipment was so cheaply made i require a little bit of good looks)

i have called around had several alarm companies out.

alot of them will not install into an apartment and all of them require a long term contract of 36months..

well who knows if you have a job? or want somethign better?

ingrid is a top notch alarm for my needs and no contract and i love how it is monitored by guardian protection services (they will install in apartments but require deposit and contract)

(2 stars) - Think twice
After purchasing this, they then try to get you to sign their service agreement.
I want everyone to be aware of a couple things:
1.) In spite of the fact you pay a premium for the equipment, it completely diactivates should you ever cancel the service, and you are left with a bunch of useless equipment.
2.) There is a 2 year minimum contract
3.) Also, even though there is no finincial risk to InGrid should you cancel early, they slap you with a $175 early termination fee if you should cancel before 2 years.


You might want to be aware of these things before you buy.
I should add that I tried to cancel my service immediatly after becoming aware of these things after reading their SLA, and the lady on the phone was about as insistent I stat as an AOL

rep, and lo and behold they still shipped out the order today and charged my credit card (I canceled 2 hours after placing the order, after hours, and here it is 3pm the next day and they

shipped it anyways, so I'm sure the request to cancel was completely ignored)
