Seems like all of my friends that had them were happy so I decided to get a quote. At first it seemed a little expensive, but when I actually compared what I had from 3 estimates, Red Alert gave me a lot more for my money. I didn't really want an alarm system, my wife did, so I didn't want to break the bank, however I added cameras that i can watch on my i-phone and also record at Red Alerts headquarters so I can see my house when i am not there, spending almost $3000.00. While not cheap, you get what you pay for and I feel I did, and I really like the fact that it does not need a phone to link out so a thief cannot disable it. Well done.! If only they had financing I may have got the home automation too.
