Hi Jennifer, I don't know what city/state you are located in so there is no way I could give you any recommendations. We have 2 homes in Southern California and in 1 home we use Brinx Home Security and in the other home we use A.D.T Security. Both of these companies offer very good systems and service. I personally like A.D.T because we can get talking key pads/ monitors from them but, like anything else it all depends on how much you want to spend on equipment or service and what you will get. Good luck.

I don't know if they are available in your city. You might want to contact your police department and see who they might recommend. You might ask your insurance agent, not only about the savings you might receive on your home owners policy, but if they recommend any company in your area. The security system I have also notifies the fire department if there is a fire, and we have had our system go off because of leaving bacon on the stove too long and the fire truck was here before we could get the alarm cancelled, so that's a good thing in case you really need them. I like the way mine is setup because it beeps if some one opens the door, so I know if anyone is coming or going which lets me know even if a family member is going outside or coming back inside so I know where people are in case I want to know. We have gotten kind of lax about sitting the alarm as we do have a pretty good alarm system in our big black lab and are little tiny yorky/losopso! The company does call to verify a problem and that's good too. We list other family members or friends who have access to the home if we are away so they can come check on any reported problem. I didn't opt for the window alarms, but did have a glass breakage alarm installed for the computer area so if some one were to break the window in the study it will go off. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jennifer Jackson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2008 10:46 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] home security Hey Guys, I am trying to choose a company to go with for an alarm system. In truth, as I have a hundred pound, dog I am not even sure I want a system. Still, I did a search on my local city and only found one review of one company. Is there a reliable place to go for this kind of information?
