        Good service. Had this alarm in two houses so far. Technicians come over to install and explain options, I was able to cancel via email when moving, and they call immediately when the alarm goes off.

        The whole installation experience was wonderful. All of my questions were answered. The new technology allowed us to connect our system to the cell towers, because we have fiber optic phone lines, I thought that was great.
