Cellular uplink is the most sophisticated technology in the home security industry at the moment. Not all companies offer this capability, but Link Interactive does. Instead of utilizing a landline or wireless signal, your security system will connect through cell phone towers to speak to the monitoring station. If you suffer a power outage or a thief tampers with your landline, it won't affect your security equipment.

Video monitoring comes with the Platinum package for just $5 more per month. You won't get dinky cameras either. Link Interactive provides cameras with night vision and HD capabilities as well as those that respond to motion. Every camera is monitored 24/7 by professionals monitoring center. You can even check in on your home yourself by logging into the app to watch live streaming video. To make it even better, you can schedule video to record based on your needs.

This is a big deal. Most companies charge up to $300 to install home security systems. Link Interactive does not. With your Gold or Platinum security package, you won't have to pay for shipping, set-up, or support. That means you'll only have to pay the monthly service charge and cost of your equipment. While the Go!Control Panel & Cell Module is included, Link Interactive is à la carte. That means you'll need to purchase most every device you install in your home—from window/door sensors to smoke alarms and more. Only some are included.

If your home gets too hot or cold, it could result in costly damage. Link Interactive has an extreme temperature sensor that monitors equilibrium in your home. If your house's thermostat shuts off and it drops to close to freezing, you'll get an alert so you can act before your pipes burst. If it senses extreme heat or smoke, it will also contact you to inform you of the danger.

Link Interactive has a ton of equipment that allows you to control lights, locks, and temperature from your smart device. Choose from the Z-Wave light bulbs or Lamp Module that control lights in your home, the Universal Garage Door Kit that lets you operate your garage door from anywhere, the 2GIG Smart Thermostat for temperature control, and so much more. There are multiple pieces of equipment you can use for all kinds of home automation needs.

Link Interactive recognizes the importance of being able to customize your home security system. That's why the company offers DIY security products so you can choose equipment à la carte. Whether you're looking for smoke, carbon monoxide, or heat/freeze sensors, or extra video monitoring equipment, you can add extra items with this option and install them yourself.
