   little lady in jeans., Nearly 4 years ago I had someone try to break into my condo. It was at night and the I had the lights off, but I wasn’t asleep yet. I heard someone trying to pry open the back door. I crawled into the living room and switched on the outside lights. It startled the burgler and I saw him high tail it out of there. (I assume it was a him). I then called a few alarm service in my area and they all gave installation and monitoring quotes. I suggest you call a local burglar alarm system installer to get your questions answered. http://www.homesecuritysystemratings.com Almost every alarm companies run a free installation special, so inquire about that too.

   To have a home security system monitored (police and fire) will cost, in the North Eastern region of the USA, approx. $25.00 per month. That is what I pay for the monthly fee.

   I get a 4% discount on my home owners insurance policy because I have the alarm system.

   To have the actual ADT system installed cost about three thousand dollars a couple of decades ago.

   There are some good webcam type options that will send a text message to your cell phone when there’s motion detected (and other features).

   Of course that’s not effective if you want security while you are home.

   It varies. The company I work for charges $20.00 a month plus tax for a residential system. I’ve heard ADT charges $40.00 a month.

   You can call any company and just ask what their monitoring fee’s are.

   There are plenty of authorized ADT/Broadview security service contractors seeking to give free estimates with no obligation, and taking advantage of this is the consumer-smart way to go about finding an accurate answer to your question. A lot of factors really bear on the cost of such a project, including the following: The cost of material and labor greatly varies by location.

   Here’s a great link to a handyman site that offers free very resourceful information to assist you in determining the cost of your project, and, ultimately, selecting a security contractor in an effort to get the best deal for you:

   Again, you can get free estimates. I’m sure you’ll find the information, specifically the tips, useful.

   it depends but on the long run it’s better if you buy a surveillance system. You can go to http://www.techcctv.com or give them a call. they helped me with the system for my business.
