Common questions
Plans & pricing FAQ.
What's the difference between Basic, Premium, and Pro Monitoring?+
Basic ($30/month) covers up to 4 cameras with 7-day cloud storage and motion alerts, and you self-monitor through the app. Premium ($50/month) adds AI smart filters, vacation mode, visitor passes, longer storage, and supports up to 8 cameras. Pro Monitoring ($75/month) adds 24/7 professional dispatch through a UL-listed central station and a cellular backup hub.
How much do the cameras cost?+
Hardware is sold separately at install. A 4-camera starter kit is $399, 6-camera kit is $599, 8-camera kit is $799. Add-ons include doorbell ($149), floodlight camera ($199), and cellular backup hub ($99). Financing is available through Reyna Title at 0% interest for 12 months.
Is there a contract?+
12-month minimum, then month-to-month. You can cancel anytime after your first year with no fees. This is intentionally simpler than ADT or Brinks 36-month contracts.
What if I move?+
Halstead moves with you. Your local Halstead team will uninstall and reinstall at your new address (within our service area) for a flat fee. The equipment is yours because you bought it.
What happens if I cancel?+
After year one, monitoring stops at the end of your current billing month. The cameras you bought continue working as standalone devices with local recording on the hub.
Important disclosures
- No security system prevents all crime. Security cameras, alarms, and monitoring services are deterrents and detection tools. They reduce risk but cannot eliminate it. No system guarantees absolute safety.
- Systems depend on power and internet. Camera and monitoring systems require electrical power and an internet connection to operate. The Pro Monitoring tier includes a cellular backup hub with a 24-hour battery, but extended outages may affect system availability.
- Professional monitoring response times vary. When professional monitoring detects a verified alarm, the central station contacts local emergency services. Response times depend on local law enforcement, fire, or EMS availability and are outside Halstead's control.
- False alarm reduction is estimated. Claims about false alarm reduction (such as the 70% estimate for two-camera verification) are based on industry data for dual-verification systems and may vary by installation, environment, and usage.
