Advice on a SECURITY system
I'm looking for advice on which type of alarm system for the house and shop. Any advice would be appreciated.

I would get a monthly monitored system. I had ADT and had one or two false alarms but overall good protection. They monitored for break ins, fire and medical emergencies.
Get motion, door/window movement, glass breakage and audio/HD video at work. Get motion and door/window movement at home. Get a keypad in the master bedroom and the front door and see if the business alarm can report to the home keypads as well. They have smart phone monitoring apps too.

I have a GE system in the house and another in the garage. Land line phone with cell back up. I also have a multi-camera DVR system with night vision that records all motion sources and is retreivable/monitorable from the internet.
Finally, there are multiple signs in the yard that remind people of the monitoring technology.

Keep an eye on woot.com, they often have security systems for really cheap. Member Compu_85 caught a car accident outside his house with one recently and posted it on here. Damning evidence.

Honestly...ADT would be better in the long run for the alarm, and should net you a discount with your insurance company. You could build a system to suit your needs through PartsExpress...I did that on a garage in the past, you now need a key to turn off the system prior to opening the garage door or window. Are break-ins the norm there, or is it something that recently started?
