The wife and I just bought a home and we start to move in tues. We both work about 25 mins away from our home and the home is in a good neighborhood. We own a large Husky and Pit bull that are allowed to have the home to themselves when we leave. We are considering getting a security system for the home and I like the idea of having some type of monitoring service but don't know if its worth the cost. We are going to change the locks as well as a few other updates to the home as well. Does any one here have one and what companys to avoid.
