Kangaroo review

Kangaroo is the smallest system here and is aimed at apartments and front doors rather than whole homes. Its Front Door Security Kit bundles a battery doorbell camera, a Siren + Keypad and two Motion + Entry Sensors, plus a yard sign, and includes a full year of the Complete Protect plan with 24/7 professional monitoring. The keypad arms and disarms the system, rings indoors for the doorbell, sounds an 85 dB siren and alerts you if it hears a smoke or CO alarm. Complete Protect also reimburses theft and damage, up to $250 per claim and $1,000 per year, and covers package theft when a doorbell camera is installed. Devices need Wi-Fi, the doorbell runs on 3 AA batteries, and its clips are stitched photo sequences rather than video. The kit was $279 on Kangaroo's US store when we checked, but the product page did not show the plan price after the first year. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the system.
