The fine print
You signed a 3-year contract. They signed nothing.
The big names are famous for multi-year lock-ins and steep fees if you try to leave. The equipment never improves, the bill creeps up, and moving means starting all over. With Cove you are a customer, not a hostage.

No contract works because the service does.
When nothing traps you, the only thing that keeps you is great monitoring.
I love my system, and I love the fact that I can talk to my kid through the camera and catch them getting into stuff.
