Jimbo asked:


I’m thinking about getting a security system for my house. The system comes with motion detectors. Can cats set off the alarm through the motion detectors?

curious asked:


I travel a lot and work away from home a great deal. I would like to set up a security system that I can monitor from the internet. I will need 4 cameras and one will have to have be able to focus on objects 150′ away. The other three cameras will have to be able to focus from 0 to 50′. Any information on the set up, cost and availability of the equipment would be appreciated.

Any advice, negative or positive, would be nice.

We’re considering it, and we’re meeting with the guy who would put it in tomorrow.

How much did you pay?
Is it worth it?
How was your home insurance affected?

I wanted to do this last summer, when we had a drug dealer doing deals right outside my kitchen window. Luckily he is gone now. But I would still like to place security camera around my apartment to record any other illegal acts, such as vandalism. My main concern is invading the privacy of someone that is not doing anything wrong. My landlord already has the main entrances to our building covered, but I would like to watch out for the common areas, such as wehre the drug deals took place.
I live in Upstate NY.

I just bought a home and deciding whether I should get a dog or buy a home alarm system.

Zanzibar asked:


We are thinking about getting one for our house. I called ADT and they charge $630 for the installation alone! Protection One, on the other hand, only charges about $150. What’s the difference? Is the security system worth the money? Is it a hassle? Etc?

Mike B asked:


I recently installed a wireless home security systems (ADT), and now I am noticing a clicking emanating from my home theater system. I am wondering if it is caused by the new security, and if so, how can I fix it?

A bit of detail on the clicking: it is similar to, but not the same as, the phone interference caused by certain (GSM) phones.
