If you have questions about home security systems....i'm your guy

Damn-it Jeff you beat me to it was going to say the same thing

 

shop around, shop around, shop around. adt wanted $45+ for our set up but we found out we'd get a discount (6months free for a year contract) through the builder of our house using a local company. once the 6 months is up, we'll be paying $27 a month for the exact same set up as ADT was going to give us.

bottom line: not all nationwide companies are the best choice.

 

Btw I have seen an ad from comcast that looks like they are offering home security too.

Hate to tell you this but, I lived in a townhouse similiar to you with a lot of other houses connected to me and we still got robbed. Plus they got another townhome 2 units down from us. Theifs don't really care now a days.

OP: what do you think of Front Point Security?

 

hiding in a paper bag won't help you much

 

ding. this is what all the cops i know say.

also i think it’s good to keep your “false” alarms down. try to remember it’s on and not set it off. i have heard some companies set a number for how many you can have before they charge you. idk if they do that any more tho.

 

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO BREAK INTO YOUR HOUSE AND STEAL ALL YOUR SHIT WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT?

 

curious what the OP thinks of some of the DIY stuff available at smarthome.com - IP cameras, motion detectors, automation...
