| maranzano2231's Full Review: Home Security Systems |
After looking at a bunch of the cheapo $99 all-in-one systems, I had Protection One install a system for my home in Santa Clara in ~2003.
The system uses a combination of hardwired and wireless sensors and has two talking keypads. For added safety, we went with monitored smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. They set the system up with a cellular back up in case the phone service was ever out. It has a back up battery that lasts about 1/2 a day when the power goes out, too.
I recently (02/08) disconnected my landline and they sent out a technician to install a "prime cell" unit that monitors the system over the GSM network. I get to access the system from my PC at work and receive alerts on my email, which is a decent feature.
I'm paying $40 for free service calls, prime cell and remote access. I stuck it to the poor guy and paid about $2300 to cover all my doors, windows, furnace, etc. He claimed it was $3000 or something like that. I didn't have to pay for my recent upgrade.
