Watch out, ADT service is good but the prices keep climbing for monthly monitoring. We end up calling every few years to haggle to get the price decreased and locked in for a few years. If I didn't already have a system, I'd look at other vendors such as Simpli-Safe.

We have a contract with them- always great!
