Incorporating a home security system should be a no-brainer. If you're on the hunt for a top contender on the market, allow us to introduce Wyze Home Monitoring. Since 2017, Wyze has committed to producing quality, affordable monitoring equipment that provides peace of mind for your family's safety. At just $4.99 a month with no long-term contract, you'll gain access to security for the price of your morning latte.
With a peel-and-stick adhesive and no tools or professionals required, Wyze's installation process may be the simplest around. However, if you do need a hand, you can easily choose to have your kit installed by booking an appointment online. Over 5 million customers trust Wyze and, with the help of smart professional monitoring leader Noonlight, 911 call-takers and first responders are only moments away.
How Much is Wyze?
You've never met a home security system so affordable. Choose from an annual plan, $59.88/year, and a monthly plan, $4.99/month. If you choose the yearly plan, Wyze Sense Hub (the system that connects each monitoring component and sends alerts) comes at no additional cost. If you choose the monthly plan, you'll pay $29.99.
If you choose to opt for in-home installation, the experts at OnTech can help you out, starting at $99.99 for a five-piece installation. The cost increases slightly at $129.99 for a system up to 10 pieces, $149.99 for up to 15 pieces, and finally $169.99 for up to 20 pieces. Not sure if you should commit? The installation comes with professional help and time to ask any questions about your new system — because it's only "smart" if it works, right? And if you decide Wyze isn't a good fit for your home after all, you have 30 days from the purchase date to return it for a full refund.
Wyze Security Service Plans
Create the plan that best serves you! Wyze offers build-your-own plans that you can pay for annually or monthly, with optional add-ons. The add-ons are one time costs at the time of your purchase.
Step one is choosing either the annual plan for $59.88/year, or the monthly plan for $4.99/month. (Remember, the Wyze sense Hub is required and is an extra cost if you choose the monthly plan.) Then, choose from an array of sensors and accessories. Wyze currently supports multiple keypads, up to 100 sensors, and five cameras so you can count on maximum security. Once you've browsed the add-ons and made your selection, review your personalized system and you're good to go! With Wyze, there are no long-term contracts and you can try the system for 30 days to be extra sure that you love it.
Wyze Monitoring Centers
Based in the United States, Wyze's Five Diamond Certified professional security partner Noonlight supports Wyze customers with its professional monitoring centers. This partnership allows Wyze to offer monitoring at a fraction of the cost of most professional monitoring.
So, how does it work? When your alarm is triggered, you'll receive a text to verify the emergency within five seconds. You can respond with "not an emergency" and it'll be ignored, or confirm it's an emergency and help will be sent to your home. If you don't respond to the text at all, you'll receive a call from a friendly Noonlight dispatcher within 30 seconds. You can answer and confirm the emergency, or if you can't respond, help will be sent to your home regardless.

Wyze DIY installation

Before installing, make sure you download the Wyze app on your smartphone. If you purchased the professional monitoring, you'll need to enter the activation code sent to your email. This option is presented at checkout for just $5/month.
Next, head to services.wyze.com/redeem to enter your Wyze account email and password. Then, enter your code and click "apply" and "confirm." Now that the code is redeemed, you can open up the Wyze app and begin the setup process. Don't forget to plug your Hub into power and into your router, and make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.
All Wyze sensors are battery-powered, wireless, and come with adhesives that are easy to peel and stick.
