house alarms
I'm totally putting the cart before the horse here, but if you have an alarm...can you share some details as to what you have?
my parents do have one, but my dad is kind of uber paranoid (he grew up in a questionable neighborhood in the Bronx), so I don't know what's normal.
also, if you don't mind sharing, what's the install/monthly cost?
Re: house alarms
We have one and it consists of door alarms on three doors (front door, sliding door and basement door to the outside). We also have one motion detector that covers the whole first floor (we lucked out as to how our house was laid out). So if anyone broke a window and came through one vs. our doors it would go off.
We also have the hard wired smoke detectors also. We did not do a water alarm for the basement, although we might add that since we did have a flood this spring and we would have been alerted to it quicker.
I think our initial purchase/install was around $400 and our monthly fee is $39.95.

Our house came with the system so I can't speak to install cost.
We did add some sensors though, and that was around $200 I think?
We have a sensor on our front door, side door, and the door to the sunroom (which doesn't lock, but the door from the sunroom to the porch, glass slider, does lock). We have a basement motion detector at the base of the stairs (so if someone were to break into the basement they'd set off the alarm coming up the stairs). We added a sensor on the window in the basement as it goes into the man cave and we realized that since that room is closed off from the basement stairs someone could break into that window and take everything from their (TV, video games, etc).
We have another sensor on the basement door (which I realized the other day isn't working).
We pay $300 a year for monitoring. We went with a local company over the big name ones and have been happy with them.
Ha! Brian and I were just talking about this and I am glad this topic came up.
