Added 5 wifi cameras, doorbell, and svr

As the title says I recently had a security company come install 5wifi security cameras, the doorbell camera and an 8 channel SVR. I have 1gb down and 100Mbs up. Ever since I've had all that activity, my network has been terribly slow and occasionally not even able to connect to the camera to view the live feed and the SVR. I have a giga spire blast router. Should I upgrade and are there any other best practices I should implement?

Alarm.com Down

My panel is currently reporting a Broadband Network Failure, and I’m also unable to log in to the app. This appears to be part of a larger-scale service outage, as the panel itself is unable to establish a connection to the backend services.

At this point, both remote app access and the panel’s connection to cloud services are unavailable, so this does not appear to be an issue with my local network or internet connection. It looks like there may be a broader platform or server-side outage impacting multiple customers.

Issues with system

Is anyone else’s app not working when you try to login? My WiFi connection is good but it keeps showing a network error? Is this just an issue on my end or is everyone else experiencing this. I can’t even login

Need advice with smoke/co detectors

Hi, I am at the point where all smoke and CO detectors in my house need replacement. I am using a Qolsys 4 panel, and had a few false smoke alarms over the past few years. Didn't seem environmental, but we were not able to figure out the source of the problem.

Now that I have to replace many detectors, I am looking at my options - I could go with one of the several options that are compatible with the Qolsys panel, or I could go with the new X-Sense system and add a Firefighter listener to my Qolsys panel.

AND, the price difference is pretty substantial - the total for all sensors needed (8 smoke, 3 CO) for my panel would be about $740 (with tax), where the new X-Sense system with hub and the Firefighter listener would be $315.

Would love any thoughts on these options.

Thanks!

Looking for very small and simple door alarm for a mini-fridge

Greetings!

The employees in my office don't do a good job of closing the door on the two mini-fridges that we have for beverages. Signs have done nothing to raise awareness. Nor have emails. Big surprise!

Unfortunately, both fridges are located in tight spaces under counters, so any components would have be not much thicker than 1/4 inch.

I also don't need an alarm every time the door is opened.

I need an alarm every time the door stays open for more than 10 seconds.

Haven't the foggiest idea how successfully search for something that may fit all these parameters, and I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks very much!
