Some of the comapanies in the states en much better..they take a while to respond and then the police takes another century to come!

Plus the cops charge for false alarms, in many cases. Some areas dont even respond now without video verification. Also, they use Radio as backup only, Phone line is Primary, while here we use it as Primary means of communication, when the client buys one. Ofcourse we have our own issues with the cops responding also. :(

Why yall don call the names of the good company dem? so that other will know. I do set mine off a lot too and sure alarms calls within seconds.

Not going to name names, but the company in question in the OP isnt the company that you deal with.

Yup I know of two situation..one was a lightening fire and they took their own sweet time cuz they claim they had no proof and then say they couldn't find the house on a street with only 12 - 15 homes!

They ridiculous das why when I stay at my brother's house alone I get all the numbers and codes cuz they get pissed if they have to come for an alarm u set off b/c of wrong codes! I also keep the GPS close by in case I have to get the hell outta dodge!

A dog works good too!

Two weeks ago my brother accidently pressed the "panic" buttom instead the "off" button. ADT called my house. My brother didn't remember the password *sigh* because of that a police officer was dispatched to my house. I was at a birthday party during this whole incident. My brother had to proved to the police officer he lives at the resident. Don't know how it is in Nassau, but in my county you are allow 3 false alarm. After the third one the police department will charge $500.00 :jawdroop:

I test my alarm system every month.

Call the cops alot, half the time they either never show or show a couple hours later. Dont blame them all the time though, most times it can be the 911 responder or the emergency communication system totally down - was with the cops on a couple occasions when they tried to radio in but couldnt as the radio was down, even the hospitals could not get a hold of the ambulances.

Some ex or still cops tried an armed security response company a couple years back but it never took off the ground, people didnt want to pay the extra dollars.

Good to know. Security bars is a plus ples a gate which opens with only a key or buzzer plus almost razor sharp rails at the gate.

Heard of a guy who tried to climb one and it scliced his b@lls which cost him one

While this is a positive change to see Bahamians stand up for their consumer rights, it is also a clear reflection of our inability to hold companies liable in this country. It's not that we cannot, its the fact that we have a crooked, twisted legal system that would confound anyone who dare sues a company.

The alarm company involved here is located in Oaks Field on COllege Ave and knows better. Besides, if an employee makes a mistake the company cannot blame the employee without accepting responsibility for their actions, no matter how dreadful. This man's family was put at risk too, thankfully no on was home but the sanctity of their home was invaded because the company who was paid to watch over them was neglegent in ther duties, so they should pay a fare price for that mistake.

To tell him to claim on his insurance is like telling him and the rest of their customers to "GO TO HELL" even though we have your money. That is just wrong.

I hope everyone out there is watching and listening, because when you conisder the rise in crime, and in particular, crime against property, why bother having an alarm is the company is going to take you and your money for-granted.

Make them pay and tell the whole story as it happens.

Saw a story in the business section of the Tribune today. It appears the owner of the Gormet Market, Jeffrey Beckles had his TAMPER-PROOF box for his arlarm system tampered with!! Broken from the outside wall of his home and his home burglarised.

The alarm company recorded the that the alarm was triggered but put it down as an 'accidental trip" and did not notify Beckles or the police.

Beckles had another company remove the TAMPER PROOF box and install another, but it took two days for the previous company to phone to ask him if he had a problem with the system.

He had asked the previous company for compensation but they refused, telling him to apply to his home owners insurance.

Be carefull which company you deal with.
damn Beckles own gourmet market

can't say i feel sorry for him lucky the homeowner didn't shoot him while trying to dismount!

I to know another Jeffery Beckles. This is NOT the one from Freeport. This Beckles is white.

Now the one you may be talking about 'may' own another kind of store, but not "gourmet." :footmouth RIGHT?:cutie:

what type of cameras?
These are the ones that go in the tamper proof case and mounted. They can zoom in and out witha joystick.

What brand and model though, as many use the name Sony very loosely, while most just have a Sony Chip.
