Hi all, my husband and I don’t know where to start with home security systems and there are so many options. We have a house in the suburbs of PHX with a newborn. An ADT salesman came to give us a proposal of $1200 to get started and then $53/mo moving forward. This includes police activation, smoke detector, shock sensor, Wireless Sensors bundle, command 7in touchscreen, and more, like 24/7 intrusion monitoring and voice control integration. A few friends have told us to just do ADT because ” everyone else is trying to be them,” but I’ve read so many posts on here that are against them. I grew up with Arlo, and I’m not sure if they are worth looking into to compare. Our next door neighbors use local company named Foresight, and I’m not sure if local the way to go?

If anyone has insight for us, that would be great. We’ve been here for 5 months now so we really need some sort of a system, especially since it’s just baby and me home all day everyday. Thank you so much.
