Cameras are nice, but they won't call the cops. You don't need a landline anymore. Wireless cell units route the call to your central station. Get a Honeywell 2 partition system with a cell primary. Then you can keep the garage armed while the house is unarmed. And cameras in the house are a very bad idea IMO. I charge $180/year for landline monitoring and 240/yr for cell primary.
Still looking and gotta get something soon. In the running are gravely, ferris, hustler or something in good used condition. Anyone have a commercial ZT they want to get rid of? What else is everyone using?
I've bought and sold tons of stuff on craigslist. Always be armed and have a buddy present when making a deal. Never had an issue. There are definitely flakes aplenty on both sides of the game.
Flew my el cheapo so high today I almost lost sight of it. Then the wind took it about a half mile away with me running behind before I cut power and dropped it in a field. Just glad I didn't drop it in the pond.
