Alder Review

Packages & Pricing

Alder Security offers a base package that includes both sensors and a touchscreen control pad. The base package is coupled with a three-year contract and is free.

There are various add-ons and packages that consumers can choose to customize their security system further. The cost of the packages is between $35 and $65 monthly.

Base Package
The Alder Security base package includes a touchscreen control panel that is best described as a combination of a keypad, tablet and intercom. A key feature of this control panel is that it doesn't rely on wi-fi or a landline connection to function. Instead, it is completely cellular which means it's functional even during power outages.

Because the control panel has backup batteries that can hold a charge for up to 24 hours, it's mobile. You can take it with you to your bedroom at night so you have instant access to assistance if needed. During the day, connecting the control panel to an outlet ensures that it's powered up and ready to go.

The base package also includes two sensors that can be used on either a window or a door. When the Alder Security system is armed, and if the doors or windows where the sensors are placed are opened, an alert is triggered. The sensors also alert the company's central monitoring station. Additional door and window sensors can also be purchased.

Add-On Devices
Alder Security also offers several categories of devices that can be added on to its base package. This allows the consumer to tailor their security system to meet their own unique needs.

Security Cameras
You can opt to add an indoor camera, an outdoor camera, or both. Both are manufactured by Kami and have a convenient feature that allows for two-way voice communication and can sense when there is motion within their field of vision.

Motion Sensors
Correctly positioned within your home, the motion sensors available from Alder Security can detect movement and alert both you and the company's central monitoring center.

Life Safety Sensors
The life safety sensors offered by Alder Security provide an extra layer of protection. The medical emergency button, for example, could be a lifesaver for those people who are elderly, disabled, or have a debilitating medical condition. The smoke alarm sensor alerts when the temperature increases quickly instead of waiting for the smoke to permeate the house.

Multiple users are supported by the Alder mobile app which sends real-time alerts and offers consumers the ability to view recorded and live audio. You can also arm and disarm the security system, lock and unlock your doors and communicate with people who are in range.
