BuyerZone user comments: home security system purchasing requirements

"Hi, our system was installed in 1992, and updated with home extension in 2001. We have had multiple false alarms because of barn doors, which we have asked to disconnect to no avail. Are car was smashed and broken into, we have had plenty of drive ins casing our property. We are not sure if it is time to install cameras? We want to be secure, and have no more false alarms. Thank you."
