Home Security Companies Knowledge Base
Who is the best home security company and why? My neighbors house was robbed and now we want to get a home security system from a company like ADT, GE Protect America, Brinks, or Guardian. Has anyone used any of these companies and have an opinion about them. Obviously we'd like to get the best system for the best price. Who has that? So far I am leaning towards GE Protect America. Thanks all

Do anybody have experience with the required wireless equipment update by home security monitoring company? I subscribed to monitoring service with a Home Security Monitoring company. I have wireless security equipment installed. Recently they told me that the government require them to replace the analog radio tower system with digital radio tower system. This results in I need to replace my wireless security equipment as well, otherwise it won't be able to connect to the new radio tower. They charged me $100 for that. Since I'm still in a contract with them, I think I shouldn't pay that $100. So, do anybody have experience in this matter? Is the new regulation for real? Do the customers really have to pay for that required upgrade by the government regulation even when they're still in a contract? Thanks! I appreciate any inputs.
Is Platinum Protection, (home security), a legitimate company? If so, why do they use “hard” sale tactics? When I got home from work tonight, my family was being given a high pressure sales pitch from a Platinum Protection guy. The salesman was in his early 20's and said he was from Idaho and was just visiting our area to sale this wonderful home security system. If we display THEIR sign in our front yard for 3 years then EVERYTHING would be free, well except for the fee of ONLY $1.42 per day. He claimed that "Our Company doesn't even want to charge for the service, but the State makes us." I listened for a few minutes, and was disgusted with his sales spiel. I told him that we weren’t interested and that he needed to leave my home. He ignored me and kept talking to my wife. I again told him to leave my home. He then brought out his purchase order and said if my wife would just sign we could have the system installed tonight. I told the jerk, you can leave some information with us, but we will need to consider this for a few days. He was appalled, --cont. and insisted we had to sign tonight. I told him No. Now get out of my house. He again turned to my wife, asking her to sign. At this point, I said to him, Do I call the Police or pull out my shotgun to get you to leave? He left. I'm still fuming over his refusal to leave my home when told to. So, does anyone know if Platinum Protection is a legitimate company? After my experience, I won't deal with them. That high pressure makes me think they are not legimate. Anyone know about this company or dealt with them? 10 Points to the one who can give me information on this particular company!!
Choosing Home Security Monitoring Company? I just purchased a house that is already wired for secuirty with Brinks. I have been looking at other companies since it is seems so easy to just convert the system over to another company. My question to you is, who monitors your system and why did you pick that company?
OnStar home security system - can they listen in without you knowing? On a GE system home security system panel, which uses OnStar, can the security system or anyone else "listen in" to your home without you knowing it? I know , I sound paranoid, but I have no experience with OnStar or anything like it and the salesman said that when the alarm is tripped the operator will be able to hear basically anyone in my house. I'm just wondering if it's possible for anyone at the security company (which I'm afraid isn't the most reputable) or some type of "hacker" could listen in to my home without the alarm indicating this or without there being any other indication.

Best Home Security Products? First of all, what's the best/most reliable alarm system company? Second, I'm looking for these types of products for my house: -a motion detector system for my yard and driveway that either ignores animals or (1) will show if it's an animal or a person and (2) where it is, maybe on a screen. -a good lighting system for all sides of the house -(door and glass alarms, but it'd be better if I just had a Home Security Company) Anyways, thanks for your help.

What is the most effective home security? We are going to be buying a house this year and are going to have a security system installed. Which is the best company or type of alarm? I have seen the coating for windows that makes them almost impossible to break through, how much does it cost and does it really work? Any suggestions on home security will be appreciated. We will be getting an English bulldog and have 2 cats so motion detectors inside are out.
How do I set the code on my home security system? I purchased a home that has a security system installed. It has motion sensors in some rooms, and door sensors on every exterior door. I know it is functional as I see it respond to the various sensors, but do not know the code to arm it. The previous owner's disconnected the service to the company that calls the police and forgot the code. I just want to use it as a passive system that sounds the alarm when breached, but cannot arm it without the code. Any guesses on how i can set it? The manufacturer of the alarm is no longer in business, but is Apollo Security.

How and where do I look to find how to set up an Internet-based home security system? Aloha, sportsfans. I been thinking about setting up a home security/surveillence system that I can access from other places via the Internet on my laptop. All the searches I have done so far are mostly just ads from security companies. My questions are these: What exactly is required to set up this home security system so I can access it from a laptop if I am out of town. I do a lot of traveling and I would like to be able to check my house from time to time to make sure it is secure. Apart from the cameras (both for outside and inside), do I need a static IP address or can I stay dynamic via a DSL or cable modem line? I would appreciate it if someone can either inform me or point me in the direction of a good instructional website that is NOT just an infomercial for a commerical security company. Thanks.
Anyone ever purchased their own home security system (burglar alarms, etc)? It is SO expensive to purchase equipment and then pay a company to monitor your home every month. I've seen some items on EBAY that may work, and there were some other websites selling electronic home security systems, but I had never heard of them before and have no idea whether they are legit. If you have your own system, would you please let me know where you bought it, how much you paid for it, and whether you are pleased with it or not? Thanks!

How much to install a home security system? I have 18 windows and two doors and live in a fairly nice neighborhood. There are existing door alarms and a previous system with two keypads, but it has not been turned on and I'd imagine a new company would probably want to rewire everything, especially since the windows have just been replaced. Does anyone know the average cost to install a security system plus or minus monthly monitoring? Thanks!
Are there work from home scams where they are really phishing for your social security #? I'm just wondering - if I gave my social to some work from home company - what could they do just having that and my name? Are there very well set up scams out there just phishing for personal information? What does a person do if they make a mistake other than call the BBB? There's already a caution out on my social - so they probably can't do anything anyway right? I gave my address name and social and I'm just wondering - what do I do if I made a mistake. I found out that there is a listing with an F rating in Corona for this company - meaning that they are conducting fraudlent business practices or expecting people to work and then terminating them after 4 hrs and not paying. If that's all if is - then I'm not too concerned but if they can steal my identify - I need to know what to do about that scenario.
Home security alarm question? Any pros out there? Last night while we were away from home, the security alarm went off in one room of our home. The alarm company said motion was detected in a room - but not at the doors, windows etc. When we returned this morning, nothing was disturbed and there was no evidence anyone had been in the room or anyplace else in the house. Does anyone out there have any ideas what could have caused this? I am a little spooked and would like to know if anyone else has had a similar experience. Any professionals out there with any ideas? Please no jokes about ghosts etc. - serious answers only. Thanks!
