Yes, ADT can get you a remote,
Yes a bug crawling across the motion looks like an elephant. LOL
Alarms serve their purpose, but they only are able to notify after an incident.
They don't allow "direct connects" any longer. The monthly charge from the phone company is almost as much as a phone line, plus those relays always malfunction.
Now, my central station is fast, They will be on the phone with me in under 1 min.
As far as the keypad. ADT and the other companies like them install the keypad where it's convenient for THEM, not the customer. Make them install a second, or make them get you the keyfobs (keychain remotes) and before you pay them for either let me know what they are charging (I might be able to help you out).
