Newbie questions
Hi,
I am thinking of installing a burglar alarm system in my home and have a few questions after I looked at product descriptions of some available systems online:
(1) Is it really worthwhile to order the monitoring service together with the security system? I mean, most really depend on phone line to call up the monitoring company for the alarm. Aren't most burglars smart enough to cut the phone line before they enter the house? There are some that provide cell phone dial up, but I wonder if that's really worth the trouble.
(2) Without the monitoring service, how effective is the alarm siren. Isn't it relatively easy for the burglar to take the battery out of the controller and the siren will stop shortly?
Thanks in advance.
