Home/ hobby garage alarm systems

[Crush]

Hey folks
Looking for real world experience of alarms. With my recent build of my hobby garage I started researching the various options from DIY to professionally installed and the confusion set in. Please share any thoughts you have.
Thanks

You might want to call your insurance agent and see what he has to say.

Check out Frontpoint, they seem to be cutting edge DIY. Would like to hear from others who have it. They seem to rate in the top 3 consistently from the review sites

Some Collector Car Insurance Co's require you to have a monitored alarm system.

I listen to a lot of “Conservative” programming. They heavily push/advertise Simply Safe. I’ve never heard anything bad about their product/service. This question could not have come at a better time! I, too, am seeking advice on this same topic wanting a new system. Thanks, again, sYc ( Crush)

I just sent both of them a message to give me a quote. I don't have a big shop or a high dollar car to protect, but I'd hate to loose what I have.

As I recall Bentley, you have a vicious dog or 2 residing at your place that should have you covered just fine!! ;>)

I contacted my insurance and they said I would receive a reduction on monitored and unmonitored systems. They did not have a specific brand recommendation but my agent did make reference to the personal use of simply safe and is very pleased!

That's what I thought . . . that you might receive a premium reduction. I got one for my renters insurance because each apt. has it's own alarm system.
