We have a monitored alarm system. The biggest value (IMO) is that when I come home and open the door, the beep tells me that no one has been in the house.age_ranger wrote:Since the incident we've gotten a security system (ADT) ...
I can also set it to go off if someone opens the door while we're inside.
If you're handy with tools and have the time, you can install your own system from Radio Shack and dispense with the monitoring (which costs around $30 a month) or get a gizmo that calls your pager or cell phone when the alarm goes off.
