Check out our fun video review of this iOS-controlled home security system below.

    Looks like a cool system. Probably just the first in a long line of them. And does it really integrate with Apple’s HomeKit stuff or is it just home-kit-like?

    Wait till Nest comes out with their version…then Honeywell…then someone will build a Raspberry Pi clone…and the race to the cheapest will be on.
