That is precisely the point I've been making
for the past eight or nine years in this newsgroup.
However, there are a number of folks whose
living depends on the public believing that alarm
work is brain surgery.

That's too bad.  Perhaps they would have asked
you to help with the installation.  All kidding aside
I have numerous churches as customers.  They
often choose to DIY because they can't afford
what the local alarm companies want to install
a system.  My church in CT had on staff several
licensed electricians, a licensed low voltage
contractor and several engineers.  One of our
church board members used to design space
suits for Martin-Marietta.  I think we were equipped
to handle the work.  Many large organizations --
churches, educational institutions, commercial
and industrial operations -- have more than
adequate staff to do this sort of simple work.
