Since it plugs into your router, it is as secure as your network. Also, there is a login with a password for the device through your remote access, like your phone or tablet. It's worked flawlessly since I got it a year ago.

It has a a password lock on it through Honeywell. So you have to log in each time you us it.

Since mine is broken, it's hard to remember the whole control process. But generally speaking control is via WiFi, so it's as secure as the network.

I have been unable to identify the type of encryption. We have installed both the standalone sensor for a genie garage door opener as well as the Internet Gateway for a Chamberlain garage door opener. Both work flawlessly with our android devices. I would assume that the security would depend on the level of security set at your router level, since they communicate via WiFi. Great product. We highly recommend this product.

To get up to speed (i have some network experience setting up my home lan) I purchased the Dlink 931 here for a little over $30. Made it work with my synology NAS. Had it email me screen shots and videos. Used an android app(ip web cam) to turn my tablet into a wireless ip cmaera and made it work with my NAS and tablet. Anyways there are inexpensive ways to get up to speed and get the experience to setup your own security system. At least you will discover if its within your ability or worth the time required. Good luck.

It should be simple. The utility helps you set it up for users that don't know how to navigate the router directly. I would not recommend to enable the guest account /login. That part can be confusing and difficult for guest users.

If your home has a network set up.Ex ADT security. You can use smart phone or internet to lock and or unlock the door.

The camera is only as secure as your home network. You must be somewhat tech savvy to set up the camera. If you plan on using the mobile connection, you may have to set up a port forward in order to log on remotely. These are very good cameras for the price. Just don't expect much out of the box.

Check with a knowledgeable security installer. He can advise you if it is compatible

It depends on the hardware setup you use. I have a proprietary "security gateway" box that is compatible with this item; the interface is via the web so a PC is not required in my case. However, if your security or surveillance system depends on local hardware/software, you may not have the same situation.

NopeIt won't avoid annoying encryption noise either.No scanner will block encryption - but newer ones will bypassTDMA X2 - Gonna need a Uniden Home Patrol, Grecom PSR-800, Whistler 1080, Uniden BCD 436/536.The Radio Shack Pro 18 should get phase 2, but it's a stripped down version of the PSR-800/ Whistler 1080

I am sure someone with enough savvy could hack into the system. However, since it uses wifi from a home, it would be advisable to make sure you have a secure wifi network to set up on. I know I had no problems when I travelled as I secure all my phones and devices. I would advise to check on the internet to see if any issues have been reported for this particular device.

I would advise you plug this in somewhere that is securely inaccessible, either have it directly feeding inside your home or some kind of box by the camera with all wiring covered and out of reach, don't want someone walking by out of sight of your camera, pulling the plug or snipping the cable and disabling your security.

There is no security that I have come across, so as far as I'm concerned, there isn't one. Hope that helps?

I believe your codes will work, you just won't be able to see any information on the app in your phone or on your computer. You can have one of these locks installed and not be tied in to any home electronic security system. What will affect the codes working is if the battery in the lock runs down. That's more important.

The physical keys on the lock will always work regardless of Internet connection on the router. But it would not be able to remote unlock or send you notification etc.

No. When plugged in and powered on (using your TV USB port or an AC adapter), the device advertises itself as a WiFi Hotspot, and you can authenticate it to your home WiFi to use the included browser. I have tested against my Android phone and iPad. The App needs considerable work,but does not appear to be maintained. I experienced repeated lockups, and I did not like that I have to disconnect my device from home WiFi to use all features. It was an interesting novelty for a few days, but I have since given up and unplugged it from my TV.

I don't know answer to your question because I'm using it with my cox home security system
