Price depends on location. Post your address and I'll give you a quote.

Oh, and 22.50 a month, Custom Security.

most of these prices seem like they are expensive for what it is


i guess they have determined what people will pay for pieces of mind though

Anyone paying over $25-30 is either getting robbed or fell for the "free install" deal.


Not really with all the add ons these days.

I'm getting jipped by $3! :)

I pay $35/month with certified alarms. No phone line, runs through cell tower. This monitors windows, doors, attic, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector.

I realize it is a little pricey, but it is peace of mind. Monitored alarm, big dog, guns...my wife feels safe.

We use EMC, a local company.

We have sensors on all of the doors and motion detectors to cover the stairways. Too many windows to bother having sensors on them.

Bill is $16.95/month, billed quarterly.

Well my phone is password protected as well as the app that arms and disarms the alarm.

Dont get to upset. I dont think mine monitors smoke or carbon monoxide.

$14 a month through Simplisafe. No phone line, remote monitoring, motion sensors, and window break sensors.

Not sure, but I don't think we have a contract, either.

I just checked again. It's 9 zones, including smoke. No CO2 i was wrong on that.

Still it's wiresless and I pay $45 per quarter. So $15 a month. I made this deal with them 4 years ago when I signed up and they have stuck with it with no increase. Of course it had to pay for 2 keypad installs plus $500 for the wireless capability, but I just got the wireless set up last week.
