Glad you picked that up as well. Not showing the price is a fairly standard tactic for most alarm companies, including: they want you on the phone so they can sell you, as opposed to just letting you shop and compare. We have actually been offering a better service for three years, knowing that ADT would eventually catch up - and that they would charge more when they did.But there are a couple of wrinkles... You should also look at the new Pulse offering, since it includes even more features, but it's expensive: we hear $57 per month for Pulse.

In the first place, their Video View offer is old news, and is not a state of the art system.These days cameras should be able to sense motion and create a video clip that can be stored remotely (where you can retrieve it), and also send the clip directly to you. And you should be able to live view your home from any web-enable device. We even offer special free apps for this (iPhone, B'Berry, and Droid). There should be no need for an expensive DVR, or black box at your home - these should wireless cameras that work on your WiFi. In other words, Video View is expensive, cumbersome, and old-school. Pulse is more cutting edge, but is also expensive - and Pulse operates totally over broadband, including the alarm component, so it's vulnerable to a line being cut or ISP failure. The best alarm system are cellular, even if the cameras use broadband.

Sorry to throw a lot of detail at you - but it's a bit complicated with one product platform replacing another.
