Hey everyone,

We are new to Orlando, and want to have a security system installed in our home.

We want to avoid ADT/Brinks because of the high fees and long-term contracts.

A short while back, someone on here posted about a company they use, that has a monitoring station in Sarasota, and it's only $17/month or something. Now, I can't find that post at all. Must have been deleted.

Can someone here make a recommendation for us?

Thanks!
Jason

We have Safe Touch and LOVE it. We've had it for 2 years and haven't had any porblems. They have a box in the house that if the alarm does go off they call in to see what is going on. We paid 3 years up front so we got it at a discounted rate but I don't believe the cost is high. I would recommend them to anyone in the area.

My Mom had Safe Touch in her house and I would not recommend it. She went into the hospital in December and unfortunately passed away in April, and through that time period a "trouble light" had come on during one of my visits to check the house. There were no phone calls on her answering machine from the alarm company to check on her. I attempted to deactivate the service when she went into the hospital (needed power of attorney which I sent, to no avail) as I knew she wouldn't be returning home and a death certificate mailed to them in April still yielded no deactivation and continued billing. I would highly NOT recommend.
