We are doing it as we live in the middle of nowhere, so when we are away from home, if someone did break in they would have as long as they like to clear stuff out.
I used to have to spend nights away occasionally for work, so it gave my wife piece of mind that she could hit a panic button and someone would come calling.

Rural crime can be really scary so I totally get that.
I'm not a total sceptic, if it's just for piece of mind fair enough. At the moment we have a one bed flat so if someone tries to break in when we're here I'd hear it. If they break in when we're out, I don't think one of these would stop them getting our stuff.
New house has three stories (woop!) and I guess I could be busy upstairs while someone was merrily breaking in downstairs.

This question isn't aimed at anyone in particular but why is everyone splashing all this cash on smart home security setups? Are you all living in super high crime areas or something?
I've never felt the need in Clapton, and now we've sold our flat I can say that it's gentrification has been somewhat overstated. But the odd crack head ringing our doorbell and asking for money and the mardy druggie house just down the road don't worry me enough to order a Simplisafe or whatever...
