Re: Security System and self monitoring

Yes they can.

I will do a local system if I have time, my monitored clients have my full
attention though.

Some companies won't install local systems at all, you'd just have to find
one that will.

And, keep in mind you may pay a higher price, not punitively, but because
the installing company continues to make money on a monitored client whereas
on in a local system you may not see that client again for years...if at
all.
