Wireless Security Alarm

My contract for the ADT home wireless system is ending soon thankfully. Their product works fine but their customer service is horrible and there’s no alarm response unless you pay hundreds extra. I’ve already called ADT Burnaby telling them not to renew.
IS THERE SOMETHING MORE I SHOULD DO to ensure ADT doesn’t send me another $460 bill for another year of monitoring?
ALSO and more importantly, I signed this contract after confirming that I would be able to buy this system once the contract expired or before. In small print, the contract says ADT retains ownership but last year I got a price of $599 (they told me to pay for it next year and the price will be lower) and this year, the employees are confused. They won’t answer the price question. They transfer me to faraway ADT centers that can’t help. I’m currently waiting for a call from the Escalation Desk. ???
HAS ANYONE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION BEFORE OR HAVE ADVICE? I don’t want the system removed from my walls.

I need a cost effective burglar alarm system. I rent so I need something I can take with me when I leave. Do I need a monitoring service? Can you have a wireless system with no phone line? Is it better to buy a DIY system online and then purchase monitoring separately?

Anyone fitted / used one before? They seem cheaper than getting someone to fit one, but are they any good? Or are they too complicated for the average person? I’ve seen Yale ones being sold in the shops but don’t know how well it would work.

ok,i have a dilemma ,which is better wired home alarm sys or wireless,iv been quoted 165 for two motion sensors plus alarm box and keypad all installed or wireless for 399 same kit only alarm box is solar.wiv wired i assume you just hook up to electric and no more worries and ireless i guess i wud have to change batt every 3-6mnths,. WHICH IS BETTER WIRED OR WIRELESS and what brand,i have in mind (5 star alarm for wired) and micromark or yale for wireless

I am also looking for an alarm system for my business

Where could someone purchase a miniature wireless security camera that works decently? At least good enough to tell who’s doing what. I have some strange, unexplainable things happening inside and outside my home and am trying to determine what is going on. I have located things for outside the home, but haven’t came up with a affordable miniature wireless security camera or even a hidden camera of some sort for inside the home. Any Ideas?

I am interested in installing a wireless home security alarm as they are easier to install than wired. Are they any good? Which are the best makes? Any negatives to be aware of?

I recently had new windows put up in my home and all sensors are working fine except one. I actually relocated it to a different part of the house since one of the windows is just a fixed non opening window. How can I reset this sensor? The problem is causing me to leave the alarm unarmed everyday for about 2 weeks now. It is a Digital Security Controls sensor, which is a company owned by Tyco, which owns ADT. I am thinking about calling ADT for maintenance but that means atleast 115 US$. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ok so we are moving next month into a house that we will be renting. Unfortunately, ADT & Brinks dont let renters use their services…which is ok because we dont plan to rent the house forever, so their products would probably be a waste of money anyway.

Ive been online FOREVER it feels like, looking for a home security system we can install ourselves. Ive heard wireless is the easiest way to go? We just dont want to have to pay a professional to come out and do it. I have NO idea how to find what Im looking for or what products actually do what we want them to do. So Im hoping that maybe somebody can steer me in the right direction if I describe what I hope to find…..

Like I said, wireless would be great. I want something not too difficult to use….we would like to be able to monitor all the windows and doors in the house (there isnt very many). And MOST OF ALL, I want something LOUD. Id want the siren/alarm to be able to be heard from the next door neighbors houses….I figure, if the alarm isnt very loud, what good does it do? Im hoping that if (God forbid) anyone ever tried to break in, the alarm would scare them away if they know everyone can hear it and cops may very well be on their way….

I have a 4yr old son and I want to do anything I can to assure a sense of safety in our house.

Any info or help would be greatly appreciated. Does anybody know of a system that I should purchase?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

This is a system that’s much cheaper in price than some do it yourself sytems. Looks like a lot of them have sold on Ebay. Does anyone know if the system actually works? How well with dogs running around the house?
