As far as home alarms go, you DO get what you pay for. ADT and other large companies offer a fantastic starting down price but will nail you on monthly monitoring. Also...many of 'their' systems will not work if you do not have monitoring through that company.
Invest the $500-$1000 in a local, professionally installed alarm (with a basement control unit) and skip the door to door or large chain companies.
