I was able to find a local outfit that did everything ADT did for about the same price and was willing to hook to their already-installed hardware, and under quarterly payment terms autobilled against my "trash" checking account in exchange for a hundred bucks up front for testing and no long term contract. The big deal to inspect closely is their monitoring arrangement, and especially, their certification. ADT, in my experience, does an excellent job at monitoring, and not everyone does it as well. <br /><br />In the interim, there's Simplisafe; yes, there are faults with their system (I won't 'splain what they are, obviously), but as an area-limited temporary measure it's OK. I use mine now for the closet the steel box is in as a second security layer, and pay the extra monitoring fee for status text messages, which is particularly handy when non-family members are around the house; that way I get notified whenever that closet door is opened, independent of whatever else the main alarm system is doing.
