You can use Kangaroo Security without a professional monitoring plan and pay nothing each month, but you will be responsible for self-monitoring. If you pay for the Cam Protect plan at $1.99 a month, you'll get access to more exclusive features, cloud storage, and theft reimbursement.  Or you can pay $8.25 a month for the Complete Protect Plan and get access to all the features as well as 24/7 professional monitoring.
