Wi-Fi Sensing: Motion Detection Reimagined
Passive infrared sensors have been the security industry standard for 50 years. Wi-Fi sensing is what replaces them. And it's not even close.
Wi-Fi sensing works by analyzing disturbances in the radio signal between devices as people move through a space. Because Wi-Fi radio waves propagate in all directions and pass through walls and furniture, a single sensing zone can monitor an entire floor, not just a fixed cone pointed at a door. nami's The Pod and Sensor Plugs each function as Wi-Fi motion sensors, delivering whole-room coverage with no extra hardware, no wall mounting, and no aiming required.
Sees Through Walls
Wi-Fi radio waves pass through drywall, furniture, and obstacles. One zone can monitor an entire open floor plan that would require half a dozen PIR sensors to cover.
More Sensitive
PIR sensors need significant heat differential and movement to trigger. Wi-Fi sensing detects subtle motion at far lower thresholds, like someone shifting in a chair or moving quietly through a room.
Better Pet Immunity
PIR detects heat, and a dog or cat produces enough infrared to trigger a false alarm. Wi-Fi sensing analyzes signal disturbance patterns at human scale, making it far more effective at ignoring pets.
No False Alarms from Heat
HVAC drafts, heating vents, and sunlight through windows are notorious PIR false alarm triggers. Wi-Fi sensing detects motion physics, not heat, and is completely immune to all of them.
Mesh Topology: Why nami Outperforms Other Wi-Fi Sensing Systems
Not all Wi-Fi sensing is equal. Most systems use a star topology where each sensing device reports back to a central hub independently. Coverage is limited to the range of individual nodes, and blind spots open up between them.
nami uses a mesh topology. The Pod and Sensor Plugs form an interconnected sensing network, with each node communicating with the others. Movement anywhere in your home is detected by multiple nodes simultaneously, cross-referenced for accuracy, and reported with greater confidence.
The result: better coverage with fewer devices, fewer false alarms, and a system that gets smarter as you add more nodes. This is the same architectural advantage that makes mesh Wi-Fi routers outperform traditional extenders, applied to security sensing.
Professional security, finally on your terms.
For decades, professional-grade security meant being locked into a long-term contract with excessive fees and a cancellation process designed to make leaving painful. Consumer brands like SimpliSafe and Ring made security more accessible but sacrificed the technology, security, and privacy. Their smart home integrations are shallow, routing through Alexa or Google Home rather than connecting directly to devices. Their monitoring platforms are built for consumers, not the professional channel. And their track record of privacy controversies should give any homeowner pause.
nami, Alarm.com, and Surety Home change that equation. You get the most advanced motion detection technology available: Wi-Fi sensing with mesh topology, built on the Alarm.com platform that protects more than 10 million properties worldwide. You get it in a system designed for self-installation. And you get it through Surety Home, the first and best place to buy nami in the USA, the only dealer that gives you hardware, Alarm.com activation, monitoring, and expert support in one place, at the lowest prices available, with no long-term contracts and no sales pressure.
This is modern, professional-grade security without the professional price tag.

Build My SystemFrequently Asked Questions
What's included in the nami starter kit?
The starter kit includes The Pod, 1 Keypad, 1 Sensor Plug, 1 PIR Motion Detector, and 1 Door Sensor, everything you need to monitor an apartment, small house, or small business office right out of the box. The Pod and the Sensor Plug work together as a mesh Wi-Fi sensing network, giving you one fully covered sensing zone. The PIR Motion Detector covers tight corners or spots without a wall outlet. The Door Sensor covers an entry point. From there you can add more Sensor Plugs for additional zones, more door and window sensors, PIR motion detectors, cameras, and more. The starter kit is $129.
Do I need a professional to install it?
No. nami is designed for self-installation. The Pod plugs into a standard wall outlet and connects to your home Wi-Fi in minutes. The Keypad mounts on the wall or sits on any surface. No drilling, no wiring, no technician required. Most customers are up and running in under 30 minutes.
What does professional monitoring cost?
Professional monitoring starts at $19/month with no long-term contract. All plans are month-to-month and you can cancel at any time with no cancellation fees. See our monitoring plans for full details.
What is Wi-Fi sensing and how does it work?
Wi-Fi sensing detects motion by analyzing disturbances in your home's Wi-Fi radio signal as people move through a space. Because Wi-Fi waves propagate in all directions and pass through walls and furniture, a single zone can monitor multiple rooms without aiming or wall mounting. It's more sensitive than traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors and less prone to false alarms from pets or heat sources like HVAC vents and sunlight.
How does nami compare to SimpliSafe or Ring?
SimpliSafe and Ring are consumer security platforms with shallow smart home integrations that route through Alexa or Google Home rather than connecting directly to devices. Their monitoring infrastructure is built for the consumer market, not the professional channel. nami runs on Alarm.com, the same proven platform used by licensed security dealers worldwide, with deep direct integrations with third-party devices and a more robust, security-focused platform built to professional standards. The hardware costs about the same. The platform is in a different league.
What is Alarm.com?
Alarm.com is the leading professional security and smart home platform, protecting more than 10 million properties worldwide. It's the platform behind the majority of professionally installed alarm systems in the USA, the same technology that licensed dealers use. nami gives you access to that platform without needing a dealer, a professional install, or a long-term contract.
Does nami work if my internet goes down?
The current nami system requires an active internet connection. However, the upcoming Pod Pro, expected later this year, will add Alarm.com cellular dual-path. Consumer-grade systems like SimpliSafe and Ring offer cellular backup, which only kicks in after the broadband connection is lost. Alarm.com's cellular dual-path is different: it maintains a live, independent cellular connection at all times alongside your broadband. When an alarm occurs, the signal goes out over both paths simultaneously, reaching the monitoring center faster and more reliably than a system that has to detect a failure, switch over, and then report. The result is a faster response when it matters most. Customers who buy a nami system now will be able to upgrade to the Pod Pro for $49 when it becomes available.
Can I take nami with me if I move?
Yes. Because nami is plug-in based and self-installed, you can take your entire system with you when you move. Unplug, pack it up, and set it up at your new place. Your Surety monitoring plan moves with you too.
What smart home devices does nami work with?
Through the Alarm.com platform, nami works with a wide range of Wi-Fi smart home devices including thermostats from Ecobee, Google Nest, Carrier, and Lennox; smart locks from Schlage; garage door openers from LiftMaster and Genie; lighting from Lutron, Deako, and others; and motorized shades from Somfy. See the full compatibility list above.
