It's kind of like asking where can I get a deal on a vehicle? As someone pointed out, ADT and similar have "deals" all the time. Like $100 for the system with a small number of doors/windows included and then $40 a month for God knows how many years for the monitoring service. More doors and windows, they charge extra for the installation. The choices range from that to a DIY system with monitoring by one of the low cost alarm monitoring companies for $10 a month. You can buy equipment that is as good as what ADT would put in on the internet for a few hundred bucks, assuming you know how to put install it, which typically isn't easy in most houses that are already built. Along the way are questions like: A wired home security system protecting all doors, windows, etc? Or a DIY box that just monitors an area with maybe some wireless detectors? How many sensors, motion detectors, fire detectors, etc? Monitored or not? Monitored via analog phone, internet or cell link? As other suggested, the first question is do you really need/want one? I've had them over the years. Never had an instance where I know it went off due to an intruder. You do wind up with false alarms, the police called, etc. Some places the cops now charge for more than one or two false trips a year. All things to consider. |
