I'm watching an old episode of episode of NCIS LA right now, and they show a keypad with a green ready light on and say its armed. Then they swap some wires around in a crude box on the outside of the building to disable it. LOL. Sigh.
TV Alarms Suck

The movie " Thief " with James Cann from early 80's comes the most genuine to how alarms where taken out pre digital dialer days. as well as how they cracked safes etc.
another good one to watch is 30's " Night Key " with Boris Karloff as an alarm inventor who gets ripped off and gets his revenge.
Panel on the outside? Must have been an "authorized dealer"...
Probably ADT.
You know ..... they show the house ith their ads, with all the numbers running around the outside of the house. I mean .... how easy could it be to just put something in the way of one of those rows of numbers and ...... you're in!
I liked the time during the sopranos that FBI just takes out the alarm box on outside of his home so they can plant a bug. actually Ademco made such a control and bell many years ago which was for warmer climates. to protect barns etc.
From Pittsburgh stealers? Who'd a thunk!!
