Wireless Home Security Systems

[Armadillo Soup <louispoint@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've tried reading through some of the threads in this newsgroup to get an
idea about some of these wireless home security systems/alarms, but frankly
I was unable to find out any useful information.

Everybody on here seems so cocky and quasi aggresive and recalcitrant. Not
everyone, of course, but lots of the posters. It sort of makes the whole
industry look bad.

Where can I go to actually find unbiased opinions on these types of systems
?  The ones like the GE/ProtectAmercica and SecureHome SecureLink II
systems. Is there any site that ranks/reviews/tests these systems ? Sort of
like Consumer Reports.

Also, in general, are these systems at least somewhat reliable in real life
situations ?  I'm not trying to protect the crown jewels here, just my TV,
stereo, and computer. I live in an apartment building.

I am a little worried other wireless devices will set of the alarm. I'm
also worried my cat will set off the motion detector. I've seen ones that
say they are "pet proof", but am somewhat doubtful. Does anyone have real
world experience with these motion detectors and a cat ?

Thanks for any helpful advice.

cheers,
