Having recently worked in security monitoring , I can declare the ads complete bullshit. First and foremost, most (as in 99%) of the burglary alarms we received were false. It would be either the owners not punching in their code fast ….. how many people are going to set the alarm every time they enter and exit the house? are you kidding me?
