All you have to do is check with a few neighbors that took the option.

1. They use the DSC PC1555 exclusively.
2. They only install 1 keypad most times.
3. They only install 1 inside siren, which is looped to an optional outside
siren in the garage attic area.
4. They do prewire for a motion & smoke, but usually run the wiring to the
attic hatch nearest the panel.
5. The ran a Cat 5 cable to the dmarc or to the home networking box.
6. They don't do custom installations. Their technicians would then be
required to think...which is not allowed.

They run the company like a giant boiler room manned by robots.

Let them install their junk. Then afterwards call a real alarm company that
will listen to your needs.
