Well they say you should get 3 estimates, and I tried, but 2 companies would not even come to look at my house, wanted me to get an estimate over the phone, and even worse one wanted me to install myself?? I Phoned Red Alert on a referral from my neighbor and was happy to see a reputable company with a real live person to come and do a consultation to customize a system for me any my family. I am pleased that I can control my system from my iphone and that i don't need a phone line for it to work.

I finally got out of my contract with my previous alarm company, you know the "free system" people, and after being held hostage for 5 years had an upgrade done by Red Alert Inc. I am amazed that i can not only turn my alarm on and off from my cellphone, but also adjust the thermostat from anywhere, my only regret is not having the video camera installed at the same time, cause now it will cost me $100 more. live and learn
