Just my considered opinion.........

The ADT commercials amuse me. The scenario shown is a breaking window or similar "intrusion". Next is shown the ADT operator "calling the (local) police". Yeah, sure. Theyre in a distant "call center" and thats ALL they can do. Call the police. How about saving a whole lot of money and dialing 911 YOURSELF?
.
Unless a persons alarm system is cellular based, all the intruder has to do is cut the phone line. (Unless its a dedicated alarm line, read $$$) That totally disables any phone line dialer based security system.
.
My summer residence is unoccupied all winter, and thats where most of my goodies and toys are to be found. For less than the price of an ADT system, I have a GSM cellular security system monitored by a LOCAL security company. This company has vehicles of their own in town which can (but not always) respond to an alarm condition. I was obliged make a one time purchase of the cellular transmitter system, but am on a month-to-month contract with a monthly expense considerably less than the ADT (and most other national "security" companies). No contract. No phone line, and with a battery back-up in case of power loss. A loss of signal from my GSM cellular based system ALSO triggers an alarm condition. Waaay superior to a DEDICATED land line alarm system and a fraction of the price.
.
In an intrusion alarm or "no heat" condition they call appropriate numbers according to each event. The system "temperature" alarms if the temperature drops below 45 degrees. For the peace of mind this provides Id pay 4X what it currently costs. ADT? Only call the police IF the phone line isnt cut? What a deal!
