Anyone have recommendations? Experiences with certain companies? Recently moved, trying to gauge options...

ADT is one of thee best out there. I have it. There always keeping and eye out on my home when I'm away & keeping tabs on the alarms that go off at night when people are sleeping. They even call the police for you if they get no word from you about the alarm going off

I had bad experience with ADT. I think simply safe is a good security system.

I have ADT they have actually caught a couple of wood be wannabee burgler's breaking in my home while I was gone. Pretty responsive too they made the call the very moment they got into  my home. Sorry you had a bad experience sometimes the people on staff work late and don't all seem caring but they are just sometimes the job does get to them

Our home uses ADT for many years which has been good so far. Sometimes the alerts are a bit sensitive, so it's helpful to learn how to silent the alarm when triggered accidentally.

I think ADT is a good one, but there are more like blink, ring etc that are also good ones.

I think any alarm system is good to use.  Some may have drawbacks.

I have Geenie- $50 for two cameras, no monthly bill, you can check the app/cameras from your phone.  Only thing is the light has to be on at night for it to work, so I'm looking for some with night vision, but this is ok for a starter.

I never heard of Blink, I"m going to look it up; I'd like one with no/low monthly note.

I think ADT is a good one, but there are more like blink, ring etc that are also good ones.
