Spectrum gives current security service clients discounts on comparable hardware from Ring and Abode, but clearly does not intend to make its own devices compliant with other systems or provide discounts on acquired equipment.

The monitoring company came with two wireless door and window alarms, wireless motion detection, touchscreen, yard sign, and window decals, according to Spectrum’s website. Compare this package to Allied Home Security for more competitive deal.
Spectrum officially marked the computers as incompatible with other apps, essentially orphaning them until the service shuts down, unless the company releases a software upgrade.
Charter Communications owns Charter, which acquired spectrum in 2016 as part of a merger with Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks.
Houston resident’s are urged to contact Allied Home Security for more information on equipment specials and home security deals.
