The system you choose should depend entirely on ur needs.

Personally & professionally I would strongly recommend against wireless

I know choosing any product or service can be difficult if the technology
is foreign. I find a little simplification of alarms in general can be of
help to clients. An alarm in its simplest form consists of a control panel
similar to a computer, which has sensors connected to it (window contacts,
motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide
detectors etc.) The entire system is controlled by a keypad. How the zones
react & what signals they send to the monitoring station is entirely
programmable.
Choosing who installs ur system, well now that can be about as fun as a
root canal. I would suggest you ask around locally, try to find a company
which is small enough to care but big has been around long enough to
ensure you will continue to receive the service you were promised. I would
avoid ''Authorized dealers'' as this typically means they sell their
monitoring accounts to the host company. I really hate it when consumers
are treated like commodities. I have written a little bit about choosing
an alarm company in the false alarm section of keepsafesystems.ca.
Aside from electronic security, there are several things you can do in &
around ur home to make it less inviting to the crackhead sector of
society. Once again, feel free to check out protection 101 at
http://keepsafesystems.ca for a little more information on securing ur
home.
I know I really didn't give you any specific companies, but I hope this
will help you in ur decision making process.
Good Luck

The best home security system you can have, aside from a
