Rough estimate for...

Go to ADT's website under Residential you can configure an entire system there and get a price (without submitting anything to them) I'm not recommending them...just pointing out a very easy way to see what prices are...and they'll be pretty close - site unseen.

BTW...I've never met a wireless keypad that's worth a damn.

I actually tried that, but did not find a way to price a system that matches what I described. I even went through the advisor, which always seemed to recommend one or more things I didn't want (key fobs and wired sensors for example) and not enough of the things I need (sensors for vulnerable windows). Then I ran into some server side errors and pretty much gave up.

Could you elaborate on that?

GE makes some good ones but they are about it

don't forget the AT&T 8000 KP

I can and he's right with most brands, Honeywell's 5828 and 5839 keypads are borderline junk, DSC used to make the WLS910 which wasn't bad but is long discontinued. Napco doesn't make one at all

GE does make a couple of decent ones for the Simon

ADT would be about 1100.00 with wired keypads and 36.00+ p/m (depends on your rating) for 3-5 years. Expect to pay a little more from a smaller company, but probably a lot less per month for monitoring and better service.

Yeah, He means they "SUCK", A.K.A. Don't work well, perform poorly, etc. etc...

They were awsome but unfortunatly no longer made

Thanks for all the replies. Regarding wireless keypads, are there any specific features (good or bad) to be on the lookout for?

Yeah... Watch out for the ones that look like a TV remote. The wife will try and try, and wind up chuckin' the sucker at you. Which ain't so bad though as the "you couldn't install a toaster if your life depended on it" comment that follows.

What... and forgo countless opportunities to say "honey, could you arm the TV please?".
