A few years ago, I got a home security system from a company called Irongate Security, which sold me a Monitronics system. Over time the system has stopped working properly. It still works, as in if I open the door, the alarm goes off. But things lke the motion detectors go off incessantly as soon as I arm them.

The Irongate company seems to be out of business; so I can't really get them to fix it. I could go to Monitronics and see if they can find me another local retailer. However, I was looking around at some other offerings, such as Xfinity Home and ADT Pulse, and there are a lot more features available in home security systems nowadays. So I'm thinking of getting a new system altogether. I did a little Googling and found some review sites, namely here and here. From looking at the review sites and browsing the product sites themselves, I'm finding that I like FrontPoint Security. I like their remote access features (web and phone status), and their a la carte expandability means I don't need to get everything up front.

Does anyone have any experience with FrontPoint? Alternatively, does anyone have any other recommendations for a home security system?

I have a dog, a shotgun and a door that locks.

Sadly, that's the extent of my home security system.

I have ADT and have been very satisfied.

3 dogs that don't like strangers, and several firearms

In 1272, the Muslim Arabs invented the condom, using a goat's lower intestine.
In 1873, the British somewhat refined the idea, by taking the intestine out of the goat first.
