Hi,
We have a Vista 10 SE security system that was installed when we bought the house (new) 11 years ago. I've been attempting to upgrade and/or fix and had the company out that installed it to look at it. Their rep was a nice kid...but...he did NOT inspire confidence. Told me the panel was kaput which I bbelieve. I set about trying to find local professional help...and then we were burglarized 2 days ago...3rd time in 3 years.
So...I've discovered this web site and...while I'd like to take on the task of installing a good home security system...my family and I don't have the luxery of me figuring out how to do this. In short, I need professional help.
Should be easy except, I get the sense that what my local cable company, ADT, and the others I find bia a Google search of "Orlando & Home Security Systems" are trying to sell me is their monthly service fee from now 'til I die. Call me a cynic...
Can anyone recommend someone in my area (Orlando, FL)? I've visited the ELK web site and sent them an email...no response (only a day ago). I did contact SafeMart and...they are interested in selling me the tech they sell--GE Wireless. What I really want is an "honest broker"--someone who deals with several different vendor's products. I'm guessing (based on reading of this forum) that I'll be good with a system that allows me to combine wired & wireless (want to add home automation to the mix--eventually), but, what do I know?
Feedback would be welcomed. Thanks.--John
