Honestly, I got ADT and as SOON as my contract is up they're out. W/in a month one of the sensors went out and i fought with their CS for months to get it repaired.

I've been looking at the comcast one, but comcast gives me chills. Their CS isn't any better.

I know there are better ones out there.. I was just in a hurry to get one.
I had ADT at my beach house in Florida and the amount of "false alarms" was such that the local PD required a deposit just in case they had to come out - not even for actually coming out, but due to how often ADT alarm systems falsely triggered. Every tropical storm would set the system off and with how hard the wind blows in Boulder during the Winter, there's no way I'm going through that again.

While ADT may be just the ticket for some people, the only thing I have left from ADT is their lawn signs - which still work really well!
