Home alarm systems, yah or nah? (lemmy.today)

Are home alarm systems worth it? I'm talking about something like ADT or Vivint, with window and door sensors, and automated police calls.

Are those monthly subscriptions worth it? Do you guys have them? Does anyone have any stories where having an alarm system made a break-in situation better? Are they just snake oil?

Your smoke alarms and CO sensors could also be integrated into the system, which is why we have a monthly service. The panels usually have buttons to directly dispatch Fire/EMS/Police if needed.
