I see in 2014 someone asked if there was a fee or subscription to receive alerts via email? Is this service still free? Can more emails be added?

It's free. I've never tried to add more e-mails, but you can use the IFTTT (If This Then That) app and website to setup recipes to run as well. IFTTT is also free and gives you even more options for notifications and updates. I get a notification and e-mail every time motion is sensed in my garage. Sends me an e-mail to two pictures shortly after the motion is sensed so I can get a sense for what the motion was.

My understanding is .... yes it is a paid subscription. When I bought the ifit module it included one year subscription and as I recall is 50-something dollars a year.

The system will sound an audible alarm with or without you paying for monitoring (as you said, cell call). The system will not communicate with you remotely such as text & email alerts, remote operation via the smart phone app, or contact local police & fire without you paying for monitoring (again, cell call).SimpliSafe has an explanation of what each level allows you to do on their website. I think there's only 4 levels of service to compare, free, $15 mo, $20 mo, $25 mo.

Yes in order to receive text or emails when the sensor is tripped you need a subscription.

I don't use the emailing capabilities. I'm sure it is good. Quickbooks is a great program. I have used it for almost 20 years. There have been many upgrades but this last upgrade is so different and I don't like it.

Nope. The app and all updates are FREE. They have updated every few months and have tweaked features based upon customer feedback.

No limited subscription, but you do have to have a university affiliation (e-mail address) to activate. Will only have to update when the new version comes out if you want to make the upgrade (about every 5 years?).

no, it does not any more. search for zmodo no longer receiving email alerts. jumping through hoops with yahoo and gmail and they used to work but no longer do.

yes it can alert your phone via email if you want text or wifi access you must have dedicated server. as long as you have it hooked to internet

Short answer: NO. Long answer: It may be possible that First Alert is working on an adapter that'll receive an alert from these units which can then send a text or e-mail to you. However, I don't work for them nor am I aware of any such device being in development (though it would be nice).

Go to their website and download the upgrade. It will tell you there if there is a charge. Seems to me I remember there is a fee based update structure.

Yes in both instances. Alerts can be via email and push notifications. Also you have a historical record of door opening and closing with date and time stamping.

yes, in less than 2 minutes, just pay and put your email, basically just follow all the steps

I have not had a problem with the emailing spam. However this unit was not able to handle my workload at all. I hope you have better luck with the functionality of the unit than I did.

Email and text notifications are unreliable even after receiving so-called tech support. After a while, I only got loud noise alerts and the zone alerts stopped entirely even after tech support "fixes".

Yes, there are two types of alerts. App notifications and email.You may be able to use email to SMS if your carrier provides it. Pictures come through, but the text shows up in HTML.http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-send-e-mail-to-sms-text/
