Anybody using security on there home.

I quit using ADT after they screwed up a payment. I used an online bill payment and ADT refused to acknowledge that they received it. After going round and round with their accounting people, I just gave up.

WE got our system installed through Sears many, many years ago before wireless was available. I had input on the install and we've been happy with it. We have a contract with a local monitoring company that gets automatically notified if the alarm goes off for any reason. It's peace of mind when we go on vacation.

Recently, we went through a sales pitch with another company because our neighbors had their system installed. They offered to upgrade our system with wireless at no cost if we went with their contract. Almost signed the contract until I read the terms. Not only would we pay higher monthly payments, but we would have been locked into an extesive contract. Also, if we terminated the contract, they would keep the installed equipment. I like our arrangement better where the system is hardwired into the house, and the next owner can decide if they want it monitored or not.

Well the Brinks sales man just left..lol...est. for everything I wanted done between 750.00 to 900.00...ouch! He assured me that every sensor would be hard wired which is what I want. ADT told me there is no way they can do it. After reading on the internet most companies want to do the wireless because it is quick and easy.Cheaper too.I have two more companies coming out this week.

Try Protection One...
Used to work for them and they do a great job!

Six Beagles are our alarm system.
Then again, if an intruder ignored them he'd end up licked to death .......

Are you testing me again???

LOL!!! Funny Dain!!


On a note pertaining to the topic, I have the wireless ... seems to work okay.

In fact the control unit is also wireless, it uses cellular to communicate with the monitoring station.


(OH! MOE, it should be spelled THEIR ... c'mon )

No! This is not a test ... this is an english lesson.

THEIR is always used when speaking of people.

THERE is used to indicate a location and is NEVER used to refer to people.
