Looking into setting up an alarm system (have nothing atm). The only company I can find any info on is ADT. Figured I'd ask here and see if anyone has suggestions of where to look for other companies / systems.

other alarm companies are brinks and protection one. adt and brinks will install alarm systems plus provide monitoring. protection one provides monitoring, but i'm not sure about installs.Originally posted by jweimann View Post

If you install an elk or dsc system to use with a homeseer setup, can you get adt to monitor the alarms?Comment

Probably not as they want to see you their hardware.
I am using AlarmRelay.com ... Been happy with them. ELK works fine.HomeSeer 2, HomeSeer 3, Allonis myServer, Amazon Alexa Dots, ELK M1G, ISY 994i, HomeKit, BlueIris, and 6 "4k" Cameras using NVR, and integration between all of these systems. Home Automation since 1980.Comment

no... well maybe.. but they will lock you out of your own alarm and charge you five bazillion dollars a month!!!!!!!!!!Originally posted by iporty View Post
i had adt.. worst company IMO...
paid $58 a month or so...
you can setup your own alarm and use nextalarm.com?
not sure if it is them or not but there are monitoring companies out there for $90-$100 a year... they can do this because they have no local facilities near you... no trucks.. no extra costs... so they can be cheap as they rely on you for your hardware.... they are just the service...HW - i5 4570T @2.9ghz runs @11w | 8gb ram | 128gb ssd OS - Win10 x64
