We are looking for a company to take over the monitoring of our home. Any recommendations? Is it better to go with a national company like ADT or a smaller company? It is my understanding that once you select ADT, their system can only be monitored by ADT so you are locked in, for better or worse.

I'd like to hear both positive and negatives. Thanks!

I was talking with an ADT rep last week and it seemed like a pretty good deal at 34.95/mo. Only downside was that they wanted a 3 year contract (could negotiate down to 2) and if you moved they would give you a $250 credit for a new system. Their basic system package for $199 included only 1 keypad, 1 motion detector and only 2 wireless door/window sensors (additionally at $80/sensor ).

Last I checked Slomin offered a free system with a contract...
