What kind of home security system do you have?

[takwong]

I want to install a home security system at my house.


This is a quote that ADT gave me,

Your Safewatch® Pro 3000 system includes: 1 Standard Touchpad, 2 door contacts, 1 Interior Motion Detector, 1 Interior Sounder, 1 Battery Back-up Power Supply, 1 Control Unit, and 1 "Protected by ADT" Yard Sign. Your system also comes with 24-hour monitoring, ADT's Theft Protection Guarantee, and a 6 Month Money Back Service Guarantee. There is a one time $25.00 Telephone Connection Fee.

Total is $370 with 26.99 monthly charge.

Do you know of anything cheaper and please post your monthly fee and installation fee.

Thanks.
