Re: Security System and self monitoring

["R.H.Campbell" <rh.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sir, I won't comment on the idea of "self monitoring" other than to refer
you to a page that might or might not provide some useful thoughts on the
matter. If you require a system that is non monitored, you likely will have
to search out a local company that does this, or do it yourself.
