ADT, Slomin's, Brinks?

I have two big dogs and bars on my windows.

That's so funny, I also have a shepherd mix and a scaredy-cat pit bull mix. The pit is scared of everything, but he has a loud bark.

i've used slomin's for the past couple of years and haven't had any complaints.

I have used ADT for a theater and residential buildings. They are good but very expensive. I got rid of them and switched to DGA. They are better and less than half the price. If you want to go bottom line, use D & W alarm co. They are assholes but not irresponsible. If you are looking for a central station monitor, almost any security guy can hook you up. There's lots of independent central stations out there that are cheaper than the big boys. They all do the same thing basically.

slomins has been nothing but trouble. the installation process was AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL. they suck. ADT is more, but if I were to do it all over again, I'd go that way. Acdtually, I'd go w/the independed guy who was even more expensive,but seemed to have a soul.

And, frankly, after the damn thing has gone off a couple of times, you'll stop turning it on anyway and just hope someone will be so kind as to take everything in your house but not wake you, so only go that route if you REALLY think you want it.

I had a bad experience with Adt both in my own properties abd as the first contact for a friend who used the system. I don't need to give you all details.. but there were some pretty crazy stories. Bottom line... try someone else.
