I was just going to post this picture, as it's the best representation of a=
 non-monitored system... http://tinyurl.com/nn655zm

However, I'll try to be slightly more useful and also provide this link: ht=

p.html

On the other hand, as has been mentioned by someone else on here already, t=
he people on this forum install real alarm systems.  I personally wouldn't =
use the type of alarm in the Cdn Tire link, or any system I could buy from =
a store like Cdn Tire, Walmart, etc.  Ever notice that these stores don't u=
se the alarm equipment they sell?  They must get a good deal on parts and c=
ould get a staff member to install them in a day for practically nothing, b=
ut still no.

Bottom line is that if you want a system you can rely on: get a real system=
, get it professionally installed, and get it professionally monitored.
