    I got a new house and had ADT come and gimme an estimate for a wired system. It cost $$$$. And the builder wouldnt let them come in while the house was being built, so I said, no thanks, I’ll call you back later.

    After my house was built, I saw an ad on a telephone pole for ADT with a wireless system and it was free installation, just pay for equipment and pay for service. It ended up costing me just under 500$ to hook up 13 door/window sensors and 1 motion sensor with two key fobs. I pay 32.99 a month for monitoring and it works pretty good. If the alarm goes off, they call my phone first, if I dont pick up, they call the cops. So far, its gone off once and they called my cell, and it turned out that my oldest set it off cause he forgot the code, this was 2 days after install. But if you look in your phone book, you will find authorized ADT, Brinks, Etc… installers. Just call and ask around. Just try to not call the company directly as it will cost more.

    Also with my wireless system, the batteries dont need to replaced for 5 to 7 years. Its wireless so there are no holes in the wall that need to be drilled, or lines ran.
