I have used home security systems, including infra-red, motion detection, glass breakage and camera surveillance since 1990. I have used ADT (went bankrupt in the early 90's), Brinks and several smaller companies. Most alarms in the USA are sold by alarm companies and not in local hardware store, as then, you have to find your own monitoring company compatible witht he equipment you installed. I would imagine the key to success in that business (at least here) is to hook up with either one large or many independent alarm companies that provide monitoring. Most equipment, in the USA, is sold and installed at a minimum...the money is made in the monitoring contract. It is what we call the "Gillette" method...give the razors away and sell the blades. DISH and/or DirecTV Satellite TV are other examples of the theory.
