Im looking at alarm systems for my church. Its a large building with several zones. Are there any that would work with multiple hubs? I asked Abode, and they said no.

If you need an alarm system, there are a few ways of going about it. One is the non professional to save a buck, it may be enough to alert intruders to stay away, and the professional that may cost, but eases the mind its done professionally. If one wants to burgle, they will, its the mentality if what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine. Social engineering to stop common burgles is the least expensive. If you truly have the $ for fancy things, spend $ professionally.

Last time I asked for quotes, about 4 years ago, the install was over $14k and monthly for monitoring is crazy, I have about 24 cameras around the building, but I dont have them set for motion alerts

@salep704 when you consider the price of the item you want to protect, it puts in prospective the price.

Ring Alarm if you are not a professional and not planning on hiring one. You can add zwave extenders or if buildings are really spread out you can use multiple bases.
