Security system?
Anyone familiar with Village Alarms? I want a security system installed with motion detectors. Other recommended companies?
|
They seem to have good reviews. But, I would buy one of the DIY systems. Very easy to install, set up, and monitor yourself.
|
Given how little crime there is here, is an alarm really necessary?

Thoroughbred Alarms, Ocala, (352) 861-9999. Have had for 6 years no issues. Have motion detectors, glass break detectors, every window and door is alarmed. Their monitoring is done in GA and they have been prompt when we screw up and set it off. Not sure we need one but if it makes my wife feel safer I'm all in. I went with Thoroughbred through a recommendation from the security company we had in PA....it's a Honeywell System

Galaxy Home Solutions in Wildwood.
Highly Recommend. |

Installed Simply Safe system myself. Very easy to do. Your choice of monitoring or not. I believe monitoring isn’t always necessary. Once the siren blares the invader will turn tail quickly because he will assume the police are on their way.

Village Alarms
Myself, my brother, and friend all have Village Alarms installed for two to three years now with no problems.

If you are willing to, and up to, installing the sensors yourself (it really is not hard) I really recommend Simplisafe. You’ll save yourself a fair amount of money over time. You can have them professionally monitor or just set it up with an alarm. They also have it so you can set up monitors beyond normal security, such as a fire alarm (which may save you $$ on your homeowners), water sensors, cameras, etc.

You install yourself Buy online Top notch Inexpensive |
It's only a matter of time before antiquated security systems and companies associated with them become extinct. Wireless cameras are simple to install, effective, cheap and do not require a 3rd party service. They send alerts to your phone upon motion or sound. Motion can be filtered by person detection only. Its only missing a whailing alarm but with a little ingenuity that could be setup. It does require internet while away from home. Most internet services offer a reduced price while away (ie: snowbirds).

We had ADT in the past and it was expensive. Now have SimpleSafe and love it. Can do it yourself and spend very little on monthly charge. Check it out.

I installed a Ring system in a couple of houses. Took me about 10 minutes per window and door. Very inexpensive and works well. I don’t have it monitored ($10/month) because as a fellow poster pointed out if that siren goes off I don’t think an intruder will hang around to get to know my neighbors.

Get simpli safe install your self and save a lot of money for 15 a month it sends out to police

Village Alarm
Used Village Alarm and were very happy with their work and the quality. They explained all the functions and assisted online when we had a minor issue. Would recommend.
Careful about wireless systems as they can be defeated. |

use simply safe and install yourself. I've done it and the monthly monitoring is like $16 per month.

I selected Village Alarm 3 years ago. They installed the system and set me up with monitoring. It was worth paying up front for the system as the monthly cost was about 1/2 of ADT's saving me about $250/year. I had a system failure last year and they were very responsive and repaired the main key pad within 24 hours. I highly recommend them.

Villages Alarm
I have used their system for over 5 years. No issues, works well and they provide great support. I would not hesitate to use them again if I purchased another new home.
|
Inherited a Villages Alarm system with new house and very happy with pricing and customer service. Added a very affordable camera system with Villages Alarm after purchase. Have some DIY systems up north and there is a difference. Do your homework and get the system that works for you. Your needs may be different than others posting here.
