ADT uses a slightly modified Honeywell Ademco Vista 20 Plus.  It's a
very good system for most consumers whether you buy it from ADT or
someone else.  Beware of "packages."  Chances are your needs are
different than what the package provides.  ADT and most other
companies will be happy to add the appropriate number of devices to
ensure your security needs are met.  Without knowing your house,
lifestyle, area, etc, it's impossible to tell if 3 doors, one motion,
and a single smoke is enough.  Also, the monitoring services is
equally as important as the hardware and system installation.  Be sure
to ask details about how it's done and by whom.
