Overall Summary:
I suggest open systems which support z-wave, zigbee devices for sensors because there are multiple vendors selling products even at Home Depot, Lowes, Bestbuy. Hubs can be replaced. No monthly fee. Choices are Wink or Smartthings under $200 to start and camera $160 to start. I am not affiliated with any of these vendors.
