What We Like

What We Don't Like

  • No professional monitoring option: All users will be 100% responsible for their homes’ security.
  • No cameras: Keep in mind that as Minut doesn’t offer any cameras, you’ll have to buy them from third parties.
  • No cellular backup: Since the Point connects to the Minut app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, we weren’t able to get alerts during a power outage.

Bottom Line

One of the most unique security systems we've seen, the Minut Point Smart Alarm combines motion, glass break, temperature, humidity, mold, light, and noise sensing into one simple device. We were able to get notifications about our home from anywhere without paying any monthly fees whatsoever.
