To use Envisalink or pay for Total Connect

[loisjohnson]

I currently have an unmonitored Caddx/Interlogix NX-8 in my house and have decided to change it out to a Honeywell Vista 21IP panel (for several reasons).

Will probably self-monitor. Trying to decide between Alarm Grid's $10 plan (with Total Connect) or the Envisalink EVL4 module with no monthly fee.

Can someone tell me the difference between the systems as far as the the alerts I will get on my phone. I am leaning towards the Alarm Grid self monitoring ... but hoping someone has already had experience with both and can tell me the differences.

Anything you get with Total Connect you get with the Envisalink but with no monthly fees. TotalConnect cannot even support more than 2 partitions while the Envisalink supports all 8 on the larger panels.
