Never had an alarm before but...

I'm just beginning to research home security systems. It is quite bewildering, and salespeople are not much use as a source of unbiased information, to say the least.

I've not had much luck finding a place on the internet where I can read reviews of the different types of system, reviews of monitoring companies etc.

Does such exist? If so, where?

I was a bit put off by a guy from ADT who offered my "over 1200 dollars worth" of hardware (but only if I signed up today), and what amounted to $42.00 / mo for monitoring. ($CDN here).

Can't I just by the best hardware, install it myself and pay somebody to monitor it? Surely if I can build computers, I can install other electronics.

Or is there more to this than I can even imagine?

I no so little about this whole thing I don't even know what I don't know.

Tkx, V
