I've just installed a Yale wireless alarm and whilst it doesn't integrate with anything else, it does have a reasonable control app and was very easy to setup - extra sensors are dead easy to add.

Firms that fit security systems generally see the IOT systems as insecure and they don't fulfil the requirements of the british standards for security systems. Not to say you can't set up a system for your own peace of mind but it will have security vulnerabilities that you may not have foreseen.

For the security cameras you can get fairly cheap options if you're willing to do a bit more setup yourself. I bought this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UWBPI3G/ which, when it detects motion, emails me a picture and uploads the file to the cloud.
I can also remotely access it on phone/laptop using a VPN and it turns off when my phone is at home (if my phone is at home then so am I).
I lot of the IoT ones seem dependent on your home internet which isn't always the most reliable method I would think. I don't want an alarm going off that I can't deactivate or turn off as my internet is down.

Home security using the Internet Of Things.
Anyone have any experience with this? Just looking at the Y cam stuff and looking for anyone with recommendations for door/window sensors that would integrate.
