Common Questions

What you need to know about switching from subscriptions to ownership.

How accurate are these cost projections?

We use publicly listed annual subscription prices as of 2026. Actual costs may vary if providers raise prices (which historically they do), so our projections are conservative estimates. Your real 5-year cost is likely higher than what we show.

What does the Leios one-time setup include?

A typical Leios system includes a dedicated home server running Home Assistant, local camera storage (no cloud fees), smart device integration, and a custom dashboard for your phone. The exact cost depends on how many devices and cameras you have. Most setups fall between $1,500 and $4,000.

How long until the local system pays for itself?

It depends on how much you currently spend on subscriptions. If you pay $50/month across multiple services, a $2,000 Leios setup breaks even in about 40 months. Households paying $100+/month often break even in under 2 years.

Will I lose any features by dropping subscriptions?

With a properly configured local system, you keep camera recording, motion alerts, remote access, and automations. The main difference is that your data stays on your own hardware instead of a corporate cloud. Some brand-specific features (like Ring Neighbors) won't carry over, but core functionality is fully replaced.
