Yesterday I was quoted $1250 by ADT for a "Honeywell Vista 48 " alarm with 5 sensors /2 remote controls . I'm very interested in your views on ADT home alarms ?good ?reliable and any other recommedations you may have Thankyou Re: home security - alarm - ADT 2Dec 05, 2009 4:57 pm Just a suggestion try to avoid the vista 48 Alarm system, I'm not sure where you are based but ADT usually install NX systems. If you have a choice try and get them to install an NX system which is made by Hills. I can guarantee that you wont have any problems with it. We have been installing these alarms for 8-9 years and have no major issues with them. Just curious have included in ADT's quote have they signed you up to back to base monitoring for any certain time frame?

The NX is a higher quality system so therefore it is a little bit more expensive than the Vista. Obviously I can only go by what we charge which is $900 for NX8, 2 sensors, internal/external siren everything you need fully installed for the extra sensors and remote kit it wouldnt be much different from the ADT quote. I would definetly get a second quote though just to be sure It seems very clear to me that your contract states that a security account does NOT need to be established so the answer to the builder is NO.
