Home Security Systems
 
We are considering installing a security system. We are familiar with ADT and see that Xfinity now has a home security system. What system do you have and do you recommend it. Thanks

We used Galaxy Home Solutions in Wildwood.

We like.

We use Suncoast Security

I had Suncoast come by today. I'm impressed with the product and likely to do it.

We use Frontpoint Security - wireless installation, reliable, and great monitoring;yes, we would recommend.

I just put in a wireless system - Fortress Security. I installed it myself in about 2-3 hours. It is not monitored, but if the system is alarmed, it will call up to five phone numbers and you can "listen in" when it calls to see if you hear anyone. When the siren goes off, it is 130 dB - I guarantee nobody will stay in the house when it goes off. What I wanted was, if someone came into my house while I was gone, I wanted a siren to go off to scare them away. This does the trick. A one time $120 and no ongoing monthly cost. The system I got included 5 door or window alarms and two motion detectors. Peace of mind.

Looking into simplisafe (simplisafe.com). It is wireless and self installed. There are 3 levels of monitoring. Monitoring does not require a contract. It looks promising. It is probably the one I will install. I have been reading a lot about it. It gets good reviews.

A very simple DIY and anyone can do this one!!!

This is one of the safest places i know --- if someone breaks into my home they will probably leave me something -what are they going to take - my couch - my bed - --- if you have nothing they cant take anything

I went with ADT with monitoring and am contented.

They can hurt me and my dogs. I'm (and my pups) priceless (at least to me).

Another vote for Frontpoint Security. Love the customer service and the equipment.

Total Security, Big Savings | FrontPoint Security

We used Suncoast and are very satisfied. I also like the ability to add smoke/fire protection if you so desire. The service even included an emergency pendant for my elderly mother.

I think that is what I am going to get and add one or two wireless IP cameras that can be viewed on a cell phone or computer. I ordered the camera today.
