What to consider

Cove focuses on alarm monitoring rather than camera surveillance. Camera options exist but are not the core product.
The entry-level plan includes monitoring but some advanced features (like smart home integration) require the higher-tier plan.
Equipment can be purchased upfront or financed, which affects total cost of ownership.
