Newbie needs advice: Alternative to Honeywell?

Apologies for the rather uninformed question but I never dealt with a “real” home alarm system before: We just purchased a home in the US that has a (dated) ADT system installed. Three control panels, awkwardly placed motion sensors (think: knee high, middle of the wall?! who does that?), wireless door/window sensors. No cameras.

From our insurance agent I learned that the homeowners insurance requires an alarm system with a monitoring service. So we do need to upgrade / replace that system. And this is what leads me to you, kind fellow inmates of this /r.

We had one contractor come over to propose a refresh. He went all Honeywell and I am not sure if this is the best we can get. As far as I understand, they cryptographically link their sensors to the main panel so you need to replace the entire system should one fancy a fancier control panel.

Here are the components they suggested:

  • Connected Living Core System Promo Package
  • Honeywell 6290W (7” Security Touchscreen)
  • Honeywell 5800MINI (One Zone Door/Window Wireless Transmitter)
  • Honeywell 5800PIR (Wireless Motion Detector)
  • Wireless Receiver Antenna
  • Advanced Modular Communicator Wire Assembly
  • smoke detectors can be reused, most probably

Please do not get me wrong: I do not want you to do the research for me. But I would be very happy if you could point me in the right direction, regarding vendors & monitoring services. (Or simply tell me to go with the Honeywell system because it is perfectly fine).
