I feel like the obvious is “absolutely have one.” But friends and family make it feel like a total scam because they’ve had such negative experiences with every alarm company. What are your experiences with home security companies and do you feel like you got what you paid for in regards to home security? (For reference, growing up my parents always had ADT and had such a terrible experience that my dad ripped the monitor out of the wall and told the customer service rep some vulgar things about what he’d rather experience than do business with ADT again). For home security of course I’ll pay the extra price, just want to make sure it’s actually worth it and that they come through for you in the event of emergency.
