I have Alert360. The basic plan involves a sensor at each door and
window, plus one glass break sensor and one still-photo image sensor.
You can add more features, of course, like video cameras and additional
glass break sensors. I have the basic plan, and it's about $40.
Regarding accessibility, I'm very pleased.
* The panel that is installed by default, which may not be optional, is
touch only and not at all accessible, but you can have a physical keypad
installed as well. The physical keypad has the number pad and large
emergency buttons for the police and fire department.
* The app is completely accessible for Android. You can use it to arm
and disarm, put the system in the various modes (e.g., sleep, away),
check the history for the past 24 hours, etc.
* There's also a key fob you can use for setting the alarm to home and away.
* The actual website is accessible, but feels like it's less accessible
than it is because it's quirky.
* The customer service is great.

The app is fully accessible and you can choose to add sensors to any of your doors or windows, indoor and outdoor cameras along with motion detectors. If anyone has follow-up questions about this please direct them to the list and not to me privately. In the interest of full disclosure I am a Comcast employee.
