Why Ownership Matters
The smart home industry wants you to rent everything. We think that's a terrible deal.
The Subscription Trap
Ring charges you $200 per year just to save video from cameras you already bought. Stop paying? Your cameras become glorified peepholes.
ADT charges $50+ per month to monitor sensors in your home. Cancel? Those sensors become decorations.
Nest charges you $120 per year for "Nest Aware"—features that should be built into the hardware you purchased.
Over 5 years, a typical subscription-based smart home costs $5,000+ in fees alone—on top of the hardware.
The Ownership Model
We install smart home systems where you own every piece of hardware. Your cameras record to a drive in your closet. Your automations run on a computer in your home. Your data stays on your property.
There's no subscription to cancel because there's nothing to subscribe to. The system runs on your own hardware, on your own network, with your own electricity. That's it.
You own the hardware
Every camera, switch, lock, and sensor belongs to you. Not leased. Not rented. Yours.
You own your data
Video footage, sensor logs, automation history—all stored locally. No company has access to your data.
No vendor lock-in
Home Assistant works with thousands of devices from hundreds of brands. You're never locked into one ecosystem.
Works without internet
Your smart home runs on your local network. Internet goes down? Everything keeps working.
The Math Is Simple
A one-time investment that pays for itself.
