i need advice on which home security system to pick from and most reliable. i do not want wireless system but a wired system

Well, it happened. . . someone almost broke into my home this morning. Fortunately I was home and scared the critter off. Three people in my block have gotten home security systems lately. Actually, I wish I could move! But, I think I’ll be here for awhile. So, I’m looking for a home security system. ADT is popular in my area. Do you have any to recommend?

this girl said that she had a home security system for a year and everything was okay and apparently recently she was told that the wire is not connected so the phone company needs to be back wire so the system can alarm efficiently in the event of a burglary otherwise it just makes noise but no connection to the central system. well she never changed her phone company so how can that be. she was told to have the phone company come to "backwire". the security system company says that they will charge her 8 for 30 minutes to come and check if wire connection works. So how can her wire all of of a sudden have no connection when she has had the same phone company and why should the phone company be coming out to check the wire connection to the security system. Shouldn’t the security system company do that and why would they be charging her.

I live in an exurb area, and I’m often away from my house for extended periods while on business. Recently, there was a break in at my house. My home security system scared off the thieves before they stole anything. But I’m wondering what I can do to deter thieves from breaking in in the first place. I’d like to put up signs warning about my home security, but I don’t know if that will just encourage thieves to try to deactivate the alarms before they break in. I can also install lights that come on at night, though I’m not sure if that will help. Anyone have some good ideas?
Thanks for the all the good tips. My home security company offers a wireless service, because, if my phone line gets cut, the normal home security doesn’t work anymore. Is the wireless service worth getting? I suppose most thieves aren’t smart or patient enough to go cut my phone line. But for the ones that know what they’re doing, is it easy for them to defeat security systems like ADT?

Most of us now relied on our cell phone more than the house phone like old days. Eventually the house phone just sit at home to collect dust. Basically I do not wish to wasted a month on something I will no longer use. In fact, I do want to install a home security system that doesn’t required traditional phone line. Yet still be able to monitor the house 24/7 at their headquarter. Will notify the police, fire dep, or ambulance.
Beside ADT or Brinks. Are there any Wireless Home security system out there is trustworthy? I saw uControl online but never heard or know anyone use it before.

So please if anyone out there could help .. let me know!

Thank you so much!!!

We moved in a few months ago, and because we don’t have a landline, the pre-existing home security system is inactive. That hasn’t been a problem until this week, when I tripped the smoke alarm; ever since then, once a day, usually at a painfully early hour, it beeps until I type in the security code. Then it happens all over again the next morning. The control panel is in our closet and I suspect the solution to my problem lies there, but I’m not sure what wires to disconnect. Any ideas?

I am looking for a home security system that I dont have to sign a contract, that does not cost too much, and that i can install myself. The reason for this is that in todays economy no ones job is safe and i dont want to enter into a contract that I will have to pay for in order to get out of. Can anyone recommend any company that doesn’t require me to sign a contract, and can possible install myself (P.S. I am allergic to dogs so that is not an option)

We are looking for a home security system and don’t know whats the best. My first guess was ADT but after reading internet reviews on it,Im not too sure. I just want a good affordable service that will work when it needs to.

I just bought a homeowner’s insurance policy for a house my husband and I just purchased. I bought our policy over the phone from a well respected company I will not mention because of their good service overall. The agent I dealt with was absolutely insistent that my husband and I install a monitored home security system in our house because we would get (a rather paltry) discount on our policy. I tried to explain to the rep that paying for the system, including monitoring would never pay off even if we were robbed because we don’t have many things someone would want to steal. Other than an off brand flat screen TV (that’s chained with a lock under its base to a very heavy solid wood TV console and we’re even thinking about attaching that to the floor joists), an inexpensive DVD player, a shelf of DVD’s mostly bought from the bargain bin at Wal-Mart and a couple of cheap laptops (that don’t even have Windows installed on them, we’re Linux users) there’s not much of value. She kept saying that what would we do if we were hit by ,000 in loss from a burglary. Including a motorcycle and 2 cars (all insured for theft); we would be lucky if everything we have to our name, other than the house is worth that much! Plus, we live in a rural area in Alabama with a low break-in rate; I checked county crime stats for the past 10 years and we’re well below the national average. The nosy neighbors don’t hurt either

In order to break into the house you would have to get through a standard door lock, two deadbolts on each solid core security grade entry door, various window locks and avoid setting off wireless threshold motion sensors on all exterior doors and windows that let off an ear drum bursting screech that would deafen anyone within 100 feet. I work from home so I’m literally in the house all day and anyone dumb enough to break in would run a pretty high risk of getting a .22 shoved in their face anyway. The rep was still insistent that we "needed" an alarm even after hearing all of that. I couldn’t get it through her head that it doesn’t and probably will never pay for me to own an alarm system.

She then started going over my auto policy and mentioned that it would be a wise idea to put a Lojack or Onstar system on my two vehicles because of another paltry discount! My husband and I own a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville and a 1999 Dodge Dakota pickup; which are probably the last vehicles anyone would want to steal.

She just didn’t get it that some people live frugally and only buy what they actually need. She also seemed to take great offense when I told her that I thought it was dumb to spend 00 on an alarm system, plus monitoring fees to protect a few thousand dollars worth of stuff in a low crime area in a house thats already locked tighter than Fort Knox and practically under armed guard! My dad’s obsessed with home defense so I learned how to use a gun when I was 14.

I’m 22 and this was by far the most annoying experience I’ve had in the whole home buying process! I would have hung up on her but I needed the insurance paperwork sent to my mortgage company before the end of the business day. The insurance company I’m using doesn’t even have any connection to these other companies whatsoever! I don’t get it. Is this woman completely crazy?

My neighbor just got broken in yesterday and I’m thinking about put in the home security system at my house. Can anyone please recommend one? There are so many out there. I need to keep the cost as low as possible. If you have experienced with one please let me know what you think of them, the good and the bad.

Thank you for your time.

i am thinking about getting home security and i was just wondering if ADT home security system has free installation. the first educated and justified answer will get 10 points. Thank you very very much.

um my house just got robbed(only 0 about to steal tv caught them in the act) and now we want a home security system what do u recommend

Do American need home security system? How many Americans have installed or plan to install the home security system?

I live outside of Cincinnati and I am shopping for a home security system. I have been reading consumer reports and reviews about ADT and Protect America. Protect America would be more affordable with equipment costs, but I want to make sure that whatever system I get actually works. Anyone have any suggestions on these or other companies?

I work alot and my wife is home alone what is the best home security system?
