After looking into this more, it appears Joe Pine has been around a while and has been selling earlier versions of this same system that did not have monitoring connections. See 'Need Advice on Alarm Systems' thread where people in 2007 and 2010 posted they were happy with the unit. The technology in the current version detects sound wave changes caused by a break-in. Opening a door slowly will not trip the alarm but with more speed the alarm sounds. There are no fixtures to install like window and door trips. You must purchase this unit with monitoring but if that turns out to be a hassle, I will cancel it.
