Try www.buyerzone.com
Submit a request to receive bids from competing alarm companies.
Find a company offering panels that DO NOT have dialer delays.
This enhanced call verification crap is dangerous.
And since you don't want a sales pitch I won't mention that many
participants here do business in the NY Tristate area and offer better
service than any of the 3 you mentioned.

As a former dealer for Brinks I can tell you they are not who you want
protecting your house.
Slomins is an oil company using cheap equipment, 5 year contracts, and
they place a lien on your home.
ADT is great on the sales pitch but lousy on the service end.
I know for FACT they have some ex cons installing systems for them in
NY. In CT they sub the work out.
Their police background checks are a joke. Hell they have an
authorized dealer in Florida, Kendall Windham, who spent time in jail
for counterfeiting, who was (strangely enough) a professional
wrestler.

It's great that you want to protect your home but spend a little more
time doing the research.
