Home security thoughts?

[|Montana Bengal| 400]

Just wondering if anyone is using Wink, smartthings, etc. for home 'security'.  Not really looking at camera systems as I'm pretty much set.

Pit bull with an attitude (plus two other pups), various high powered firearms coupled with 30 years of training and tactics, and ADT system that I've had forever...

 

Oh, 

 

I have a friend using Wink, says he likes it... will try to get some more info from him.

Picked up a Smartthings kit which seems to work fairly well.  I've got my own setup with cameras.  At this point it seems well.  I'd be interested in hearing what your friend says about Wink.

I did a little research - I ended up essentially flipping a coin and picked smartthings, the differences and reviews were kind of a wash - sometimes it cuts out on me and irritates me. What kind of cameras do you use? I want to put some up to view the exterior of the house.
