Reliable Security That's Designed for Living

Invest in the InGrid home security system for a safer, more advanced household protection. This protection package preps your whole home with a reliable, easy-to-control network that's fully digital and surprisingly simple. Install it yourself in no time flat, and enjoy 24-hour professional monitoring, seven days a week. But don't mistake the system's simplicity for lack of sophistication. The InGrid system is every bit as comprehensive as many elaborate dealer-installed systems. Because InGrid is all-digital and it's designed with multiple redundancies, it's tougher to defeat and much more reliable than many professional set-ups -- at a far more affordable price point.

Choosing an InGrid System to Protect Your Home

Bigger can be better when it comes to total home security, because the InGrid home security system can be altered to fit any space and any lifestyle. Since InGrid is all-digital and infinitely customizable, you can expand it to meet any of your home's changing demands. Starting with this Home Kit created for spaces from 2000 to 3000 square feet, you can add multiple Grid Extenders to cover more and more territory as needed.

And the more you add, the more robust your system becomes. Every Grid Controller adds redundancy while extending the range of the grid, reinforcing the overall strength of the system with every piece you add. What's more, no matter how many components you collect, all of them are easy to manage via MyIngrid.com. But no matter how much turf you're covering with this advanced home protection system, InGrid will never leave you hanging. InGrid's network features constant two-way communication with a professional monitoring company; so if there's any kind of quirk or failure, you'll be informed immediately.

Ideal for These Applications
  • Cover and protect any larger living space
  • Multi-storied homes
  • Large townhouses or condominiums
  • Vacation homes
  • Businesses






With multiple networks at your disposal, you can check in on vulnerable relatives with the push of a Home Connect button.


Establishing Full Security from Day One

The InGrid system can be established in an average home in about 90 minutes with no workmen, drilling, or contractors stomping through your house. If you can handle peel-and-stick tape, you can set up your own customized, secure system in less time than it takes to watch a movie.
    Ready to go, right out of the box. Each kit comes pre-configured from the factory. Just open up each numbered box, plug in each component sequentially, and voila! -- your protective grid is up and running. Then all you have to do is apply your sensors. Simply pick a spot on your window or door, affix the sensor clip and adjacent magnet on the opposite surface, use the handset to register the sensor, and snap the sensor into position.

    Connect with other homes in your network. With InGrid's unique Home Connect feature, a second system is as easy to operate as the first. If you want to keep track of another location, simply install a second set of components. Then push the Home Connect button, and instantly your console reads all the secondary sensors. Through MyIngrid.com you can manage this other location just like it's your own backyard; look at activities and event histories, arm or disarm remotely, and monitor everything with confidence. Use this feature to keep an eye on elderly relatives, small businesses, or vacation homes. The possibilities are endless.

    Emergency help is always right at hand. InGrid is designed with a panic button on the handset, so help is always nearby you when you need it. There's also a panic function on the keychain remote.

    Reduce false alarms. InGrid offers a safer, less restrictive home security system that won't horrify the neighbors or aggravate the police. In addition to the InGrid keypad on the console and handset, there's also the easy-to-use, hard-to-screw-up keychain remote that comes included with this Home Kit.



InGrid systems are monitored by Guardian Protection, America's largest private monitoring company.
Each kit comes pre-configured from the factory for exceptional ease of installation.

Enjoy Better Protection from Better Features

Be more secure about your security. While most professionally installed systems are built with a single point of vulnerability (such as a master control panel that can be disabled in seconds), InGrid distributes the control points to multiple controllers -- each one a fully functioning mini-system. Even if one controller is disabled, your system remains intact because the other controllers are still are working.
    Making sure the call goes through. Most systems have only one communication path to professional monitoring, but InGrid has three: broadband, telephone; and soon InGrid will offer GSM wireless. So in that worst case scenario, you'll never need to worry that your frantic alert won't make it to the monitoring center.

    Reliability at every point. Most security systems offer only one-way sensors, but InGrid components are two-way for added reliability. Each door and window sensor sends, then confirms the signals. The wireless keychain remote arms and disarms your system and confirms success with an audible beep. Each Grid Controller talks and listens to the other Grid Controllers to ensure that everything is functioning correctly.

    Non-emergency alerts. What time did your child return from school today? Did the dog walker arrive on schedule while you were out of town? InGrid is designed to give you the most reliable all-digital, professionally monitored home protection, but it can also help you monitor non-emergency events. So whether you're on vacation, at the office, or out to dinner, you'll be able to tell who's coming and going, and when.

    Indoor chimes. InGrid can also provide optional indoor alerts, producing a gentle chime any time a door is opened. So if you're upstairs, in the basement or outside working on the yard, you won't have any unwelcome surprises.

    Peace of mind around the clock. Any security system can provide full-time monitoring. Only InGrid gives you professional monitoring from Guardian Protection, America's largest private monitoring company. Guardian has been in the security business for 50 years, and today it operates America's most advanced, 5-diamond rated monitoring center.





Grid Controllers: Your personal grid of protection with two-way components for multiple redundancies.

Use the handset as a full-featured cordless phone, for real comfort when you're out and about on the premises.

The Components

The console: your command central. The InGrid console is much more than a keypad. It also functions as one of the system's Grid Controllers, sending and receiving data continuously with each of the sensors and with the other Grid Controllers. It acts as information central, displaying up-to-the minute weather (so you also know your system is connected and working correctly) as well as severe weather emergency alerts. Use MyIngrid.com to program birthdays and anniversaries, and your console will display them. And you can place the console anywhere you want. Mount it on a wall or leave it on a countertop if you like, or stick it in the kitchen.

The handset puts the power at your fingertips. The handset can come with you anywhere around the homestead, keeping the security controls and panic button right at your side. Keep the handset in the base's charger, or use the portable charging cradle to stash it elsewhere. The InGrid handset gives you full control over your home's security, but that's not all. It also pulls double duty as a full-featured cordless phone. What's more, the handset also can work as an intercom.

The handy keychain remote gives you real, portable control. Step out of your home and push the button, and your system is armed. To disarm the system before you open your front door, simply push another button. Because the keychain remote is two-way, you can be 100-percent sure the system arms and disarms by simply hearing the confirmation beep.

Wireless sensors offer two-way protection. Each of the wireless window and door sensors is small, but mighty. The sensors have a range of ten meters, and each one sends signals to the grid extenders and then confirms reception. This two-way capability coupled with a remarkable 10-year battery life delivers real reliability and comfort. So once you install these sensors (just peel the tape and stick them wherever you want), you can be confident that each one will protect you for a long, long time.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - worst item i ever brought
It will charge you monthly fees (20 for self-monitoring and 30 for professional) For self-monitoring, it never mentioned anywhere that you will be charged for 20/mo. So if you don't want to pay the monthly fee, don't buy this item.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Monitoring requirement is the weakest link
Just when I thought a company has woken up and learned the true needs of customers--flexibility. I thought it was a great device until I learned that it cannot be used (expensive doorstop) without the monitoring service. The Product Managers at Ingrid missed the mark on this one. I'm sending my unit back to Crutchfield tomorrow.

Note to Ingrid PMs: Let customer do self-monitoring for a fraction of the $30 monthly monitoring fee. You might just differentiate yourself from ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Easy To Setup & Great Customer Service
InGrid hit a home run with this system. Easy to set up, tough to defeat and superb customer service if you get yourself into a jam.

We've been using it for a few months - zero troubles. I like their anti-false alarm design strategy along with the multiple points of communication to the monitoring station (broadband/DSL, phone, GSM).

In comparing wireless systems, this is a no-brainer.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I like, but I may be returning it.
First of all, I do like this alarm system. It was not hard at all to set up the system. All items except for the sensors and key fob are preregisted. There are a few Honeywell items (smoke detectors, motion sensors, and glass break sensors) listed in the book and on Ingridhome.com that are compatible, which makes me wonder if it is just a rebranded product. Which I know may or may not be the case as I have bought wired (interconnected) smoke detectors that are also compatible with other brands. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The perfect alarm system for my needs.
I've been shopping for alarms systems for a while now. I wanted something easy to install that offered extended protection and had some kind of notification for entry, alarms, etc. This system fit the bill perfectly!

First of all, it took less than 2-hours to completely install this system. Right from the get-go I knew this was going to be easy. As soon as I opened the box, I was armed with an Easy Setup Guide and boxes labeled 1, 2, 3 & 4. Following the well written instructions was a ... Read More
