Default Home Alarm Systems

My fiance and I have been approved for a Fieldstone Home and it should be built and ready by December so I know for sure I want an alarm system.

Who has them and what is your opinion on them?? Who do you recommend to look into?

Thanks!

alfie

first thing you need to do is remove that eagles pic on yur sig dude..LOL


the fieldstone home builders should actually refer you or have some security company ready for your house. ask the sales people who they have. my bro-in-law house was just built and everybody in the neighborhood had ADT.

if it is prewired for an alarm you may want to add some extra motion sensors and other features. I know of a few instances where the people breaking in knew the alarm system layout in the houses and avoided the sensors in those rooms. they probably looked at the model home or one for sale to learn how the alarm was set up. or they knew the installers.
