| 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.
