[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We use Simplisafe and I love it. After 10+ years of ADT and Ackerman, I'd say it has them beat, hands down. You choose the equipment you want and install yourself. In addition to entry sensors, we got smoke and CO2 detectors, motion sensors, panic buttons. The monitoring costs about $20/ month. You can control the system from any mobile device or computer. Accidentally set off the alarm in the first month and police were at the door in about three minutes. We got a call first and my husband couldn't remember which number was our passcode and which number was the fake passcode to secretly say say send help. [/quote]

+1 for Simplisafe.  We really loved that we could install it ourselves, and it was super easy to do so.  We got the refurbished parts but they looked as good as new to us.  We pay $25/month but that lets us control and monitor the system remotely via the Internet -- you can pay as little as $15/month for monitoring if you are willing to forego your own remote access (although they will still text/call you if there is an alert).

The one downside is that Simplisafe doesn't offer cameras.  They've been talking about offering one for a long time but they just sent out an email saying that the cameras won't be ready this year.  That didn't bother us, as we weren't particularly inclined to get a camera (and if we were figured we could set up an independent one).[/quote]
