Vector keeps stopping by trying to sell. They seem legit but I keep thinking of ADT. Just want to see what others use. Also what is the Norm for contract length?

I have read reviews in which ADT is bad regarding their sales department and contracts, but other than that is their equipment and monitoring good?

what would I need? How would I do it? How would I turn it into a minor company like ADT

I’m interested in installing a home security system, but am unsure about which kind to get. I keep coming across a company called Protect America that has good prices but I see bad reviews on the Better Business Bureau website. Any opinions about this company compared to ADT, Brinks, or Life Shield? Opinions please. My girlfriend is 7 months pregnant with our first child. I’m interested in installing one soon. Thanks.

im moving into a new home and looking to add a home security system i only know of a few: adt and brinks? i dont know much about them.

I dont want to go with ADT as that is who I was going with until the RUDE salesman came to my house. DOes anyone know who is a better home security to go with and is it sage to give my social security over the phone for this?

for those of you who have a patio door, how can someone try to open the door..

my dad and i went out around 3:30 yesterday afternoon for a meeting…around 4 pm, his phone rang and he passed it on to me..when i saw who was calling, i saw it was adt who was calling and told my dad..they called to notify us that one of the doors was left opened..they called the house number around 4:10 pm then called my dad’s cell phone at 4:12 pm..i honestly remember i checked to make everything was locked before i left..when we got home, we found the latch of the sliding glass door to be unlocked..when my dad called back, he reported it as a false alarm..adt told us the alarm went off around 4:09 pm this afternoon

do you think someone attempted to break in…otherwise, why would adt call us half our after we leave..what is a false alarm.

PLEASE SEND REASONABLE FEEDBACK!!!

We just recently got a home alarm system, and I noticed that in our bed room our window is half way up bc we have a window air unit. The alarm was armed and the window wasn’t closed, but if I open a door the alarm will go off. My question is how is this possible? The windows are supposed to be armed as well I thought. Am I wrong, or what’s the deal? Do the windows need sensors too in order for them to be secure? I went through adt, secure watch. Has anyone had this problem as well?

I am Planning on getting a home security system. My credit union USAA has a special discount with ADT and my sister in law recommends Broadview. Which one is better? and why?

What do you think of Devon home security in Florida? I am thinking of using them. Besides ADT and Brinks, what other home security systems do you suggest in Florida? THanks!

My house got recently broken into.They took my new flat screen tv and my ps3, I was upset to say the least lol. So it made me want to have some sort of security system in place.

How My house was broken into:
I came home and noticed my fron door was open.I thought i left my door unlocked and the wind blew it open. Then i noticed that the glass on my door was broken. I have a really dumb door with a major security flaw.It is a big wooden door with about 12 small glass panes in the door itself with 4 on each side running vertically.They broke one of the panes near the lock and stuck there hand in and unlocked the door.
I live with my mom and she is the house owner.She dosent feel to atiment or too serious about makeing the house more secure.I say this because she dosent want to fix the main flaw of our security here at the house which would be the big door withabout 12 acess points to break to gain acess to the lock.
My house is set up as to where I have an inside porch.So that means you walk down the block,go up my 10 foot sidewalk to enter my indoor front porch which is fully visible to the street. My Porch door is also a wooddoor with a big pane of glass which has this very sturdy lock.I think this would of maybe prevented it because i doubt there going to break a big peice of glass in full view of the street and other people house. But they came onto the indoor porch because the front front door was unlocked then they came to the big wood door with all those glass panes,broke a pain closest to the lock and walked upstiars and took my ps3 and flastscreeen and i assume drove off.
So this is why im asking my question which is should i go through a company like ADT,Broadview,simplx a company that offers that type of service where the house is monitored at there central location then alert you and the proper emergency service if they detect a problem or should i just build my own system and try and make the house more secure.

1. Should i go with one of those companies? the only benifit is that if i dont secure my doors properly and im not home and the neighbors dont hear it and call that i know the police will be there.

2. What products can i buy to make my house more secure?

3.For my wooden front door what can i do to make that secure? i heard of deadbolts where you need a key to lock/unlock on both sides,are those real? I want that so if they do break the glass they still cant get in.

4.Are cameras really that benificial? They only really help when in plain view,which i think isint that good to begin with cept detur. Or that there only good when your stuff is already gone which i think is to late.Where can i buy cameras that only motion activated?

4.Are there any good websites that are about home security that offeer cheap good products? how about any forums for prevention and security product reviews

5.What kind of locks are there and what benifits do they provide?Are there any chain locks which you can unlock from the outside?

6.should i buy a new door handle with a lock and maybe some sort of other lock like a deadbolt for my bedroom door? I ask this because i dont have anything else worth stealing except for my room and worse comes tow orse they break in but i want something to stop or slow them down alot if they actually get in.

7.Where can i buy glass laminate so i can make all the glass entry points in my house unbreakable. I think its called security film and its a laminate that makes it bullet proof or shatter proof so they cant just break the glass and unlock the door..I searched ebay,is there any other sites that offer this type of product?

8.What can i do to make my front porch door more secure? Im goin to start locking this door more often since its out in the open and i think that will detur most. Maybe put security fil over it just incase. Same with my back door and my front wooden door. What can i do to make those more secure?

9.What decides how good a lock is? is it the width or depth of the lock/deadbolt?

We are looking for a good Home Security System, but not that expensive a month. Does anyone have any experience with the Monitronics Home Security? I have a representative with a good offer, and I’m a little confused with this company or ADT. ????

What do you think?

Anyone know what is the better alarm system for homes? I heard APX, Brinks/broadview (i think is the sub company), DMP or slomin’s. ADT i heard is too big for it’s own good. I’m leaning towards APX, Brinks or DMP.
i did check for reviews online, i checked also lawsuits and systems….not really decisive. That’s why I was looking here. I think I maybe leaning to slomin’s or brinks.

For ex. ADT How much is the installation fee and monthly fee?

I currently have a basic security system with ADT. I am looking into getting video surveillance added on. Does anybody have this video surveillance package? If so, can you give me a short breakdown of how it works and I definitely am curious on the pricing of it. I just wanted to get a camera in back and in front of my place, nothing inside. A few years back, I ran with some very bad company. I have had empty threats made upon me and I am just worried. The basic system isn’t something that makes me feel very safe. I already am in the process of getting my foid card and such…I really want information on video security costs. ADT doesn’t place prices on their site…I would even be up to switching security providers if another company has a better security system. I appreciate your help in advance. Thanks!

I have an ADT system installed here that I never use; can’t afford the monthly fee and the witch I bought the house from never left me any info about it as promised. It must be ten years old; I’ve been here six. I am having my sliding glass doors replaced, and there are sensors on it. I’m supposed to have the sensors removed, but I’m wondering — is there a point? System must be outmoded, can’t afford to have ADT come here to do that on top of all the other expense. How is it hooked up? Can the installers just dispose of the old doors with the sensor on it without causing a problem? Thank you.

My neighborhood recently been having lot of car and home burglaries, I’m thinking of getting a alarm system for my house but can’t decide on what’s the best alarm system or company to get, I’m deciding on either Brinks, ADT or Smith security, I’ve never heard of Smith but its alot more affordable but I don’t know if its as good, please help, I have a young child at home and scared living without an alarm system!
