Best Alarm System Company?

[cpals]

Who do you think the best alarm system company is? My home is being built with an alarm system already so I just need to find a good company to use to monitor it.

I would say none. The alarm system companies 1) Don't respond all that quickly, 2) Can't do anything other than call the cops if they spot someone 3) Are expensive. I would think that the best system would be one attached to a cell phone that called your own cell,

on smarthome.com, there is a link somewhere to alarm monitoring...

they charge $8.95 a month and you have to pay a year at a time. There is also a one time registration fee of $35.

I have been with them for a year and a half...each I time i accidently set it off, they call within 5 minutes...


Link

edit: added link and updated price...good luck.

Cool. So ADT and Brinks only monitor systems they install?

I've never heard of smarthome, are they large and reputable?
