Additional Information

Abode is the only home security provider to offer on-demand professional monitoring for 3-7 days just while you’re on vacation. No commitments or strings attached. We love and use this feature often! Most of us are fine with self-monitoring while we are home, but it’s while traveling that professional monitoring shines.

Prior to COVID-19, our home security expert Kirk MacDowell had the opportunity to visit this manufacturer in Taiwan and saw first-hand their attention to detail, product innovation, and relationship with their North American distribution network. He left fully trusting Abode’s operational excellence.
