ÜberFly Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Going to be looking into a home security system after an attempted break-in of the garage early Saturday morning... Not sure where to start so I thought I'd see what folks on here have to say... Possibly considering a self monitoring system with audible alarm and call to smart phone as opposed to paid monitoring (does this option exist?). Any other considerations? Pros/cons of one system over another? Who do people use? How much does it cost install/monthly? Insurance break? Any recos for specific systems, provider/installer? TIA Peter Quote

ÜberFly Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks Guys!Anyone have any serious advice pertaining to what I asked?! Quote
aaa Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I am with ADT, have been since 1994. 36 dollars a month. That's for multiple internal motion loops and loops on all outside doors. Alarm Force is slightly less, around 29-30 for the same coverage, along with their voice connect to the alarm box. Both have optional connects to the owners smart phone. I saw some external motion sensor lights at Costco recently. They have a internal camera and when the light is motiom activated, they take a picture. You can pull the card and look at the stored pictures whenever you want. 99 dollars, I think might might be for a set of two? Would be just the thing for your garage to start with perhaps..... The only problem with self monitering is when your a ways away.....but if your worried about the garage, a non monitered (loud) audible alarm might scare the slime away. Quote
