[quote=Anonymous]If you have a home that's already hard wired with ADT/Ackerman/etc one option is to remove and replace the hardware with Honeywell hardware. It's a pretty straightforward job to replace the keypads, alarm brain, and siren yourself. If you look online you'll see tutorials about it. I used a Honeywell Vista 20p and replaced the keypads. I reused the hardwired ADT door sensors and added on many other wireless sensors throughout the house. You can all do it yourself which makes it cheap and easy. There are neat addons available for the Honeywell system to allow remote monitoring (sending txt messages/etc for events). I don't have video but do plan on installing cameras one of these days. Easiest/simplest these days is to run PoE (power over ethernet) IP cameras (you just need to use a PoE ethernet switch) so all you need to run is a cat5 cable to each location. The all in one fancy systems are either very pricey or limited in some ways.[/quote]
