NO monitoring is not required just like dyers do as goodthe installation job than "so called" pro's. Too many false alarms have lead police to a point that they lower theintervention priority of alarm calls. Where is the benefit to have monitoring?Initially the cause of police complains about false alarms was thatthe systems where installed by non pro's, not reliable they said.. Did the pro's installations improve false alarms, i think so when itboils down to selecting the appropriate type of sensor (dog present,sunshine,..), but you can have recommendations/advises also, so whywould a pro installation be better when it boils down to false alarmsystem reliability ?You can make a parallel between installation knowledge and monitoring,why should you need them?Let's see how i handle my alarms without monitoring ?First, i prefer a silent alarm approach :- i don't see who allows himself to involve external persons not directly involved with a noisy sound/flashlight outside. There is already enough unwanted noise around; Its no longer an alarm system according to law when those external devises are not present, Dyer's welcome.- i prefer several low volume buzzers, located at multiple places inside my house, in order to inform the intruder that he has been detected. There are enough spare wires in the cables to the sensors to provide the required alarm signal to small buzzers all around the protected area's.- i let the system rings directly to my cell phone. If i like to have my neighbor's involved, i give them a personal call and explain them the ongoing problem. At least i will know who is involved to observe the surrounding and who look if the police are arriving. No direct intervention;- second, i let the system call back hiss own phone-line who will be busy of course (see below for more details).Is a monitoring station required ? The usual arguments of monitoring stations are that they areavailable all the time and that you will not receive the alarm...
