RHC: Cripes ! ...spend $9 or $10 bucks monthly to have the thing
monitored properly. That way it works as it should and you get an
insurance discount on your property insurance, plus REAL protection,
not some totally unreliable cell phone bullsh*t. There are all sorts
of stations out there that will do your monitoring for next to nothing
leaving you to do the service and warranty work yourself..

What the hell is it about DIY'ers ? Why put in a professional system
and then cut it off at the knees....sheesh !!!!!
