Abailey92,
Find a local company, better service.
All in all here are my suggestions:
1. Stay away from any company that does not monitor the account in side the USA (read ADT uses India).
2. Research the alarm company, ask for references.
3. You do NOT want to talk to a salesman, ask for the owner or a tech. to come out.(they will tell you what you can and can't do).
4. ADT, Brinks, and a few others use special chipsets in the alarm panels, what this means is they are the only one's that will EVER be able to monitor or work on it.
5. Ask the alarm company if they use "industry standard" equipment.
6. Ask them also "If I am unhappy with your service after the inital contract (mine is 1 year) can another alarm company work on the equipment and will you release the programming codes to me if I ask"
I hope this helps.
PM me if you need anything.
