"Reliability" is a matter of perspective.  Bass has not been part of the
professional installation community for a number of years.  He's also
been part of USENET for a number of years as well.  Some would consider
him a "blight" on both.  I won't comment either way, but it would
behoove you to do a little more in the way of investigation into the
whole issue of security and the individual(s) you're going to entrust
your family's safety to.  Bass will have you believe that the
installation community (as a whole) and "most" of the individuals that
frequent this newsgroup are against "DIY".  That is the furthest from
the truth.  A number of individuals here will no doubt respond to your
rather generous (and somewhat misplaced) comments regarding Bass and his
online efforts.  If you take what they all say with a "grain of salt"
and a bit of common sense, "Google" Robert L Bass in this newsgroup, and
broaden your search for information to include resources like "Smart
Home", online security stores like http://www.norcoalarms.com and a few
others you'll find links to at
http://www.yoursecuritysource.com/buyingonline.htm, you'll be simply
amazed at the information that's "out there".  Good luck!!
