How much should I pay for my home security system?
3 doors, 1 motion detector, 1 keypad, 1 siren, 1 control panel, 1 lawn sign, 10 window stickers, and a certificate to get a home insurance discount…How much is all that worth if they are offering free installation too? Is $34.95 a month too much to pay for monitoring?

Nothing! Most of them make you sign a contract look for a good company that is offering free equipment with a service agreement.
I think you can do better…

You can have them help you build a custom system that will automatically dial your contact until someone answers. You can set it to dial a friend, relative, neighbor . . . whoever you trust to make the decision whether or not to call the police.
For NO monthly fees, and you still get the discount on your home owner’s insurance.
I looked into it and that is the way I am going.
Call/compare all the companies in your area and see what the best deal is…
It should be between $0 and $200 …. but, I write to warn you about one thing: that homeowner’s policy discount you’re expecting …. you hear a lot about 10-20% discounts and that’s what we were expecting …. turned out to be about 2-3% because they said it only applied to the “base policy” …. I have no idea what they’re talking about with “base policy” …. and I’m a pretty good lawyer !
