Better than nothing I guess but I recommend a .45 or 12 gauge, unless your dainty little hands can't handle that much firepower

You dead.




I had one come by last year. Told him no, gave him water, then told him about my collection of weapons and how I daydream about someone trying to get into my house. He got the message

If the guy wouldn't have been a dickhead and try to get me to sign up when I didn't know I was signing a contract, it didn't sound like a bad deal.



He said scale of 1-10, how interested are you?


I said "5-6"


He responds "so not really worth coming back then right?"



Me: it was before, but frick no now

Yeah, my dude was cool as shite.

ETA: he came three days in a row before I agreed. I wanted to talk to my neighbor that used them.

---

Mine too. I told him I don't sign contracts without think about it for 24 hours. He told me he'd come back the next evening. I did my research; he came around sunset and my system was installed that night.

frick those dudes. Dude that came to my house couldn't provide a business card or any type of pamphlet with a solid business name/contact.

They came to our neighborhood last year. Something seemed off about the whole thing.

My next door neighbor signed up with them, and while the setup is pretty cool, he says he has a lot of problems and it's hard to get things fixed. The salespeople are usually college students on break.

I can only go on what I've experienced with my system but I haven't had any major issues. The only thing to come up was a reoccurring low battery signal. I called Vivent and they confirmed that the sensor was messed up, not the battery. They sent a new one in two days and walked me through replacing it over the phone free of charge.

The best feature is the 24 hour monitoring for false alarms. A few times we have set ours off accidentally. Vivent contacts you immediately through the intercom system to confirm the alarm before notifying the police. This saves the Sheriff from having to come out for false alarms.

I also can arm/disarm my system through my smartphone. I have two security cameras that I can view through my phone, and I can control the two thermostats through my phone.

$50 a month is what happens when they give you an alarm system. If you were to only pay half of the install, it would be $50 with Custom.

Ah, makes sense. I paid for my custom install in full.

I shun all solicitors. I walk to door and point to the road while shaking my head. If I want to talk business I will call you and make an appointment.
