The Guardcom system looks nice, but has some possible shortcomings. With
motion detectors, how do you set the alarm at night while you are in the
house? Can the panic mode be activated from other locations in the house?
How well does the radio option work if you are some distance from the
receiver? Will you maintain and replace the batteries in a timely manner?
I do like the idea of no contract though.
The ADT system has had many complaints from customers over the years, mostly
contract issues, but do some research. Check the BBB for complaints and
types of complaints.
Do you have a local alarm service? We have on where I work and they monitor
our business alarms as well as some of the homes of our employees. Look
around before you jump into one of these systems.
