Hello all, I am getting ready to close on a house that has already been prewired for alarm/cable/phone and was wondering what alarm system you would recommend. I currently am using ADT at my current residence but was looking to go with a local company who provides monitoring as well. This company deals primarily with radionics. Would like to be able to use voip (I realize not many systems are compatible), also have the ability to call a phone number if any alarm conditions exist (ie. cell phone or pager). While I have your attention, at the first walk through of my new home I was talking to the building manager and apparently they are allowing a local company to come in and pre-wire ahead of time. I asked him if I would be provided with a drawing of where the cables have been ran and he told me that the company that ran it will not give up that information. Now if I'm buying a house, shouldn't it be mandatory that anything in the house is divulged to me? This sounds shady.
