RHC: Come on now Frank; you know as well as I do that their whole
service offering is a mix of half truths, exaggeration and poor
technical equipment.

then I think you know that....

 First off, people don't "buy" anything from Alarmfarce except their
 hype.  Alarmfarce doesn't sell their equipment.

RHC: Yes, I know, and except in certain unique situations, renting a
small ticket item like an alarm system is their first mistake.

RHC: As does everyone else who knows the first thing about alarm
equipment. I can't count the number of people who have come to me for
a real alarm system after AlarmForce wouldn't even change batteries
(in non-supervised wireless equipment.....to my way of thinking,
that's close to negligence....)

But what the hell; let the buyer beware !!
