[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 123796, member: 1991"] The problems with those alarm systems - you need to double-check, at time of sales pitch, that they will be able to properly monitor what you want monitored, but still leave you some freedom of movement while you are at home. We had the sales people at our place not long after we'd been burgled (twice - and once we were home at the time) and the alarm system would have been no good for the burglary when we were home, and of limited use in the other burglary (all that got stolen that time was a packet of crisps). And if you're going to follow DDD's advice (I like it) of 'selling' the idea on the basis of "we need protection from burglars" then the system you instal has to be seen to be effective in those situations. I think the one we were being sold was a budget one with a high cost due to the marketing. We would have had huge, ugly line-of-sight beam generators installed on feature brick walls and even then this would only have given us limited protection. Shop around. Technology has come a long way. Marg [/QUOTE]
