If you are looking for the best-monitored alarm system in 2022, you should add the Boundary Alarm to the top of your list. I have worked for half a decade fitting security alarms. Watch this video to find out why I switched from the Ring Alarm to a #BoundaryAlarm.

    Well this is useful! Boundry is already out of business
  • great informative video , as a alarm engineer myself companies who offer smart security seem to offer over priced kit and dont deliver the after care service verisure and a couple others are a classic case in point , i had boundary system for a couple of months as had to rip it out as my wife struggled to use it and it was starting to be tempermental , now i gone back to traditional hard wire system and my wife finds the new system easier to use
  • @25zerotwo
    They've gone into liquidation.. Buyer beware!
  • @regchan
    Boundary has ceased operation liqudation
  • @Tobore
    Would love to see content on notifications speed. Thanks
  • Hi, Can you please tell me how do you set the partial alarm via the fob when you want to go to bed
  • Anyone else tried the 45% promo code from the YouTube reviews and found that it's not 45% off at all, but rather just 10%?? Any and every package I select or build, the code only gives 10% off...?
  • @ethemutube
    Hi, i am struggling to find Boundary website. Can you assist please? Your link did not work
  • @SpiffingPepe
    Well, this system is defintely not what I wanted to replace my hardwired DIY Honeywell Vista system (which ain't monitored), you need to pay to even use 2 sensors or more, or have three people be able to access the system. Just a scam to make you pay more money.
  • The recent changes to the monthly plans still don’t go far enough come on boundary get your finger out
  • @H7dro
    Looks great but just went on their website and they are in administration
  • @sciroccomods
    Garbage, iv changed to ring from this, all these youtubers jumping on the boundary alarm, biggin it up, its because they get £50 for recomending someone. Police response dont make me laugh the police will show up in 2 weeks if your lucky.
  • @skysurferuk
    "Police response"? Really? You 'avin' a giraffe?
  • @amimem4851
    Quick glance: The system malfunctioned on day one of installation with multiple parts contributing to its failure, coupled with software glitches it's a nightmare to install and in my view from experience, not reliable enough to secure your home and your loved ones. Until the glitches are ironed out and hardware quality is reassessed, I'd give this company a miss for now until they've matured. Great potential, but you'll be paying monthly to pretty much be their product testers, Boundary should have delayed bringing this to market. A smart alarm that gets confused. A wireless system that drops its wireless signal. A support team, that is hard to access when things go wrong. For and against For: Nicely presented product design of sensors, keypad hub, contact sensors, key fobs and an outdoor siren that all look slick. Monthly subscription plans are exciting when compared to others . Against: - really poor customer service access. No phone number, no after hours or weekend contact response. Be prepared to write emails back and forth...what year are we in again? - room sensors have poor quality tamper systems that need to be cleared again and again with a lot of fiddling. Be prepared to go up and down ladders. The app will show they're fine, yet the hub will disagree. - room sensors have very inaccurate temperature readings, a great feature but they're out by up to 3°c rendering them pointless. - contact sensors and room sensors can (and do) go offline, you are warned when this happens, Boundary support (a person called Leslie) just suggests that you keep an eye on it... That could be your front door sensor offline! - outdoor siren lacks a quality build, mine registered tampered, which I needed to fiddle with multiple times to clear. The alarm bell went off, it is supposed to cut out in 15mins, but it didn't stop. I had to climb up and break it open. It actually disconnects from the system as the batteries use up too much power, not good when you're testing it out. - outdoor siren lid has holding screws that screw into weak plastic thread which die during installation, which means not being able to open the siren in case of manual intervention, due to hardware failure, which happened to me on day one. Be prepared to console your kids as it likely will greatly upset them. - the hub control unit has a limited cable run, most will find this too short if wishing to install it on the wall which is the most desired location. - the hub's table stand in my opinion should be included but instead the company decided to charge for it. - sensor pairing during installation is hit and miss, 3 out of eight had issues. Even if the system shows they're all paired, you're best to contact support (good luck after normal budnesd hrs or weekends) to confirm all are actually 100% paired, they don't tell you this step) or you risk your system malfunctioning in all sort of ways . - 3m double-sided tape provided with sensors are hit and miss, some won't hold and risk damaging your sensors if they fail to hold. - the app and the hub can give you conflicting readings which are really confusing. - do NOT use screws to install any of your sensors, as should you want to return for a full refund, you'll have to fill these holes and paint (if you have that colour) to make good. Boundary's support team (Leslie) will suggest you make a trip to B&Q or similar, negating the effort, time and money you've lost and are about to lose more of. An apologetic reply on 3rd May 2022 from the CEO (Robin Knox) who I reached out to, suggested they know about issues "some of this is out with our control and caused by a third party protocol that we are awaiting an update for. Other improvements are in the design & engineering process.It seems like you had several issues in combination, creating a frustrating experience so again I must apologise." Yet none of this is mentioned to you as a consumer when buying into this platform, which you pay a recurring subscription to. He was happy to refund fully (takes 14 days) to" part ways amicably".... That's at least something, though I now need to fill holes and rematch paint to my external and internal walls plus doors. Live and learn

    This company is now in administration - might be worth deleting this video @WhatGear.
