As of now, I am still looking for a reliable security system for my new house. Thank you so much for this post decided on whether what I will get. Although DSC is a good one, aside from it having a wired system, it is also one of the most affordable systems in the market.

This DSC alarm system is one of the more affordable and worthwhile investments I’ve made. Aside from the fact that it helps me sleep and keeps me calm in the middle of the night, I am confident that this DSC alarm system will perform admirably.

I don’t recommend that you install a DSC system. These systems are highly technical and difficult for homeowners to manage. Problems generally have to be handled by technicians. This is OK as long as you have a monitoring contract with a company. Service calls may or may not cost money. If however your monitoring company goes out of business (as happened to me) your system will likely become completely useless since there will be an installer code that your company had without which you cannot resolve problems (even if you have the technical ability to figure out what to do). Without this code even an independent technician wouldn’t be able to fix the system.

DSC is a great company with an excellent product line. I purchased my first wireless system online over ten years ago and have not looked back… Over the years I have upgraded the monitoring of my Alexor ( no longer available but replaced with another system ) with my independent monitoring company.

I disconnected my landline 3 years ago and purchased a cellular module for about $ 150 – it works great as I am notified within minutes of any problem when I am not home. Always able to resolve issues by calling my monitoring company, whom I have been with for over ten years…

As another person commented, it takes a bit of time ( reading and following the manual ) to be able to program the DSC system. Since my original purchase of the Alexor, I have installed 3 other systems using the 1832 panel for family…

You may find something more “ user friendly “ on Amazon, but I think DSC is the Rolls Royce in the security equipment market !

My advice: find a monitoring company NOT tied to any one brand and you will always have the support you need in short order. My choice is Alarm Relay out of California ‘-)

Thanks for reading !

In reply to Alarm Reviews.

I installed my DSC system myself and I have to say that it was repetitively easy. I am not a profession installer, so all my questions had to be answered by “Google” And DSC is very versatile. I exploited my install to the max as far as demands and was able to satisfy each easily. I have experience (as a hobby) with all the name brands (Honeywell-Concord-2gig) and they are the easiest to program.

DSC products are superb. I’m currently using their glass breaker detectors in my workshop, and it has been a pleasant experience. Recently, my wife Joan started a baking business, and I wish to surprise her with a smoke detector. Can you recommend any particular DSC smoke detector?

Oops. That’s not too bad. I’ll suggest you call their customer support for a little help. Maybe they could tell you what to do or simply send a professional or something to help you out. Just don’t let it go.

Well, my mistake was not getting this through a dealer. i actually did the whole buying myself and I must say that is not really a wise decision. Right now I don’t know what to do with what I got and I hope it doesn’t go to waste.

Yeah it may not be appealing but the motion detector and glass break detector is super sensitive and one can get alerted over such actions very quickly. The smoke detector has also saved my house from burning down and it’s been helpful.
