Are home alarm systems worth it? I’m talking about something like ADT or Vivint, with window and door sensors, and automated police calls.

Are those monthly subscriptions worth it? Do you guys have them? Does anyone have any stories where having an alarm system made a break-in situation better? Are they just snake oil?

    Wrong comment for this platform. Your not wrong though so watch the downvotes roll in. I bet none of the down voters have been in a real active situation of any kind. Reality vs dreams.

      Or they don’t want to be a murderer.

      Or they don’t want to chance being in a court case where maybe their self-defense claim won’t work.

      Or they don’t want to be troubled where if they somehow lose a fight with the intruder, the intruder gets the gun and shoots you.

      Or they don’t want any liability regarding the gun.

      You don’t think do you? No you don’t, you just want to be right. Dumbass.

        You have none of these problems if your dead from the intruder. You do you. Your post seems to reflect your need to be right rather than mine.
