"You can get your own alarm system hooked into your home computer and it will alert you when there are intruders. "

And so what happens when your computer is stolen?

Cheapest and best are oxymorons. Here's a silly little tongue in cheak metaphor for ya. Just like food, ya ok a burger and Raunchy McBarfs only costs a couple of bucks, but when you add in the cost for a bottle of Malox as well as the replacement food for what just got puked down the toilet....

I would recommend looking around locally, ask friends and neighbours. Don't go for a company just because they are big and have nice commercials that say they are the best. Speaking from experience, I always go for the smaller companies because they offer a better level of service... Beit Plumber, electrician, car detailer etc.
That being said, a security system is a long term committment as there can be service issues down the road. Be careful to choose someone who will be around to help you if the need arises. Beware of trunk slammers.

Avoid package "deals" every house is different, the extra's end up costing you more. Pretty much a bait and switch tactic. Some companies also like to keep installations small as they make the same on monitoring, this tends to be a disservice as the home is not fully protected.

Go hardwire, wireless is a waste of money that will end up costing you more in the end in false alarms and service related issues. See info below.

I have written a number of articles on security related topics, they can be foud on my website at http://www.keepsafesystems.ca. Some articles of interest in your situation might be False Alarm Info, Protection 101 and there is a little bit on the truth about the faults with Wireless security systems in the Archive.

Good Luck

A mossberg 12 gauge pump, first two rounds up #7 birdshot, next 1 00 buckshot and last one up a slug. The bird shot won't go thru most walls, but will stop a bad guy right now at close range, buckshot will go thru a wall to get the guy hiding behind the door, and a slug will stop a bear!! Total cost? under $250.00 with the ammo and shooting time at the range.

You can get your own alarm system hooked into your home computer and it will alert you when there are intruders. You can then call the police yourself. Also, a big dog that barks is a big deterrent.

a good pistol, sufficient ammo, and a little dog. The little dog will likely bark every time it hears someone pull into your driveway.... and nothing deters a criminal or trespasser better than a gun.
