Comment Never sign a long term monitoring contract! (Score 2) 508
Good choice on avoiding ADT..etc. I foolishly signed a 3 year contract in the past.
- Call local security companies (not ones representing dealers like ADT, Brinks)
- Tell them you have your own hardware, and you are wondering if they provide monitoring service
- If they do investigate their month-to-month monitoring agreement
- If they don't they will probably tell you who they subcontract the monitoring to, you can then contact them directly for service
Over the term of a 36 month contract you get killed financially, it is way cheaper to avoid monitoring contracts, and go month-to-month.
