It's true. Security companies are going to make bank off of this.
It is just so unfortunate the system wasn’t fully functioning! I’m (admittedly) a bit paranoid and we live in an area that has had some issues with car break-ins/porch pirates so when we bought our house, we had a security system installed. I think we paid around $1000 for the equipment/install and pay $70 a month for monitoring: we have a video doorbell, floodlights with cameras on the front and back entrances, sensors on every door/window, and an alarm panel.
If God forbid someone came to my house in the middle of the night, I’d get 1) a time stamped notification/video of someone on my driveway, and the flood light would turn on 2) another time stamped notification/video of the person at my door, and 3) (if they did open the door/make entry), I’d get a time stamped notification of the door being opened and the alarm would sound summoning the police. Of course this can’t prevent everything but I don’t feel like we’re paying an unreasonable amount for this peace of mind, and the system is not hard to use or maintain.
