I work for a security company in Lafayette called EPS. Locally owned/operated/monitored company that does cameras and alarm systems all with free installs. Our alarm systems come with lifetime warranties, and cameras with 5 year warranties.

Your monthly price is going to mainly depend on whether or not you have a land line at home. Average price for an alarm system on a land line is $35 bucs with all your windows and doors protected, motion detector, Keychain remote, and touchscreen keypad. Same system without a phone line averages around $45/month, but also carries the benefit of accessibility from your smart phone along with text alerts.

Honestly, most companies bring the same offers to the table in terms of equipment, and our competition is usually within a few dollars on the monthly monitoring rate. The biggest differentiator is the service you receive after the sale. Our lifetime warranty comes along with same day service, and you can rest assured that you will get a friendly voice on the line and won't be kept on hold whenever a problem occurs.

I encourage people to shop around, as our rates are about as competitive as it gets, and we are the only provider of commercial quality camera systems at $0 down.

Check out the website at eps-online.Com and call the office number and ask for Nick if you'd like to get a more accurate quote. We serve all of Louisiana.

Why does the GSM wireless card monitoring cost more than the landline? It's basically a dedicated burner cell phone for the wired alarm system.

The hardware and infrastructure costs less than everything that comprises a landline system, both in terms of labor and materials, amd is the size of a deck of cards, why the higher cost?

It seems like all the alarm companies charge more for the perception of wireless as more sophisticated or expensive when they're really just fleecing people.

I found it's much cheaper and more transparent to buy the system and monitoring separately when we built our house. I pay $300/year for wireless monitoring, and it calls the same police department as my neighbors who pay $65+ to ADT for 5 years.
