Just purchased a home and am interested in installing a home security system. Since there are so many companies out there, I was looking for other’s personal experiences with home security companies. Good and bad? Also something that won’t break the bank!! Thanks everyone!

sara b asked:


Hi I live in the midwest I am looking to get a home security system and monthly monitoring. I want one that is legit, has good customer service and has reliable equipment that will last (not break). I do not want to mess with wireless, or anything that will interfere with my existing wireless networks. Does anyone have a company to recommend or one to avoid?? Any advice at all would help, thanx!

Lady Jaye asked:


I have a new home that I would like to purchase a security system for; however, I was looking for some personal experience feedback from folks. What is the most reasonable place? What warning signs are there to look for? Is wireless better or worse? In the base package for a company, does it include sensors for all windows and doors or do they ‘trick’ you and it’s extra?

Jimbo asked:


I’m thinking about getting a security system for my house. The system comes with motion detectors. Can cats set off the alarm through the motion detectors?

Mr SmoothHead asked:


What do I need for a basic home security system.

I don’t want anything elaborate as I live in a “safe” area.

I want something like a remote operated button that my elderly mom can push in an event someone breaks in. A loud alarm that will go off both inside and outside to “scare” any robbers and alert her neighbors.

Peter B asked:


I purchased a home that has a security system installed. It has motion sensors in some rooms, and door sensors on every exterior door. I know it is functional as I see it respond to the various sensors, but do not know the code to arm it. The previous owner’s disconnected the service to the company that calls the police and forgot the code. I just want to use it as a passive system that sounds the alarm when breached, but cannot arm it without the code. Any guesses on how i can set it? The manufacturer of the alarm is no longer in business, but is Apollo Security.

I’m about to move into a house and I am shopping for a security system. I’m thinking of going with ADT but I would appreciate input (serious input) from others who already have something in place.
