Recommendation on Home Security Systems?

[Lude2000]

Anyone have any recommendations on good home security systems?

Some of the names that I heard are Frontpoint Security, Fluent Home, and ADT. Anyone have any experience dealing with any of the above?

Thanks in advance.

Run screaming away from ADT.

Monitoring is useless IMO. Even with things like alarm force etc with voice recognition, if the burglars don't identifiy themselves as intruders, the alarm company cannot call the cops.

Even for construction sites etc where we've used extensive monitoring and big $$& the first call the company will make, unless it's blatantly obvious theft is occurring, is to the super/general contractor, not the police.

Best home security in my opinion.

Don't leave valuables at home.
Lock the door. (you be surprised how many people forgets to lock their door)
Make sure you have the house light outside.
Have good home insurance.

A normal alarm system should be more than enough anyways.
