Picking the best home security package in Charleston is easy with Vivint. The leader in modern smart homes is pleased to present two new base packages, HomeProtect and HomeProtect Pro. Whether you need a comprehensive system with cameras and safety alarms or no-frills protection, it’s offered by Vivint. Explore these options and choose the best fit for your home.

What is HomeProtect?

Vivint’s entry-level plan still offers a strong defense with the essential tools you need. It includes the following equipment: 

The security hub is a simple interface that functions as the control center of your Charleston home. Along with the tools discussed above, you can custom-tailor HomeProtect plans with the following for an additional cost:

Even though this is the entry-level plan, you still benefit from Vivint’s industry-recognized 24/7 monitoring service, the user-friendly Vivint app, and an installation by skilled technicians. 

What does HomeProtect cost?

You have two options when installing a HomeProtect system. It begins at $199 with a complimentary installation and a lower monitoring fee of $24.99 monthly when you agree to a 3-year agreement. If you want security without long-term commitments, go for the no-contract option. This choice calls for an upfront payment of $349.99, monthly monitoring at $29.99, and an installation fee of $199. You have the freedom to cancel whenever you want. 

What is HomeProtect Pro? 

HomeProtect Pro is the top-tier package that gives you access to all the best-in-class tools Vivint provides. If you’re looking for outdoor and indoor surveillance and other great devices like the combination smoke and CO detector, you need to pick this option. It comes with everything offered in the HomeProtect plan but switches the Security Hub with the feature-rich touchscreen Smart Hub

HomeProtect Pro allows you to add the following:

  • Outdoor Camera Pro
  • Indoor Camera Pro
  • Spotlight Pro
  • Glass break sensors
  • Vivint Smoke & CO Detector
  • Water sensors
  • Garage door operability
  • Integration with Google, Philips Hue, and MyQ devices

Like the the base package, you’ll get 24/7 monitoring, pro installation, and the Vivint app. The Doorbell Camera Pro, smart thermostats, smart locks, and chime extenders are optional with either plan.

Does the HomeProtect Pro include all of Vivint’s smart tools?

Not necessarily. You can tailor this system to your preferences. While many Charleston families opt for the full assortment of cameras and safety sensors, you can select the components that fit your needs and goals.

What’s the cost of HomeProtect Pro?

The cost varies based on how you choose to tailor your system. A Vivint specialist will guide you through the pricing and options. Be sure to ask about any current specials. 

Begin with the entry package and upgrade your Charleston smart home later

You understand you should secure your Charleston home, but you’re not sure you want to start with the full-featured plan. That’s okay. You can install the budget-friendly base package with the core essentials and then expand down the road if your situation changes. Vivint will apply your regular payment toward your upgraded system.
