HAPPY_DAYZZZ asked:


I saw on tv one day , that you should not display your home security stickers. This would enable the theft / robber to familiarize /master your alarm system

They might be able to get some default codes. and overide your house alarm…

What do you think?
Do you display your house alarm stickers?

Thanks!

I have a new Home Security Motion Detector that I plan to install in my driveway. The detector has white/black wires, but I only have a regular electric outlet that I can get power from. Is there a way to install it using my outlet ?

Home Security Plastic Stickers are stuck on my glass door. How can I remove them without damaging the glass?

Mian H asked:


I have some “HOME SECURITY” Plastic stickers stuck on my glass doors and windows. I want to remove them. But they don’t peal out. Scraping also does not work. The glue on them is much too stubborn. Is there any chemical or solvent that will remove them safely without damaging the glass.

Phil asked:


I recently switched from traditional landline phone to Vonage cable internet phone. However, my home security system can not communicate with the monitoring station as a result of disconnecting the phone line. How could I rewire my home phone wires to make my home security system work with the internet phone?

I need to get a home security system put in. Actually we have one, it’s just not hooked up. It’s from a previous owner.

Which one do you like, and how much does it run you a month?

Protection One
Brinks
ADT

What others are out there that you know of and the cost? Thank you for your help. :-)

Wasn’t sure what catagory to put this question in. So if I put it in the wrong place, sorry.

Could you get in trouble for putting BRINKS home security signs around the house if you don’t have BRINKS?

Friday, May 9th, 2008
MAD DOG asked:


I do not subscribe to Brinks but I found Brinks picket signs and stickers that say “This home is protected with Brinks home security.” If I put those out in front of the house, would I get in trouble?

Thank you and God bless!

My main reason to stick the BRINKS stickers is to scare off burglars but I guess free advertising too.

Looking for a home security system with remotes?

Saturday, April 19th, 2008
ShortTermRental asked:


We are looking for a major brand home security system like ADT, Brinks, etc, but would like a remote for the system if possible. Like a car remote. Do any of the major carriers make something like this?
