I want to have a security system installed as I will be out of town
alot. I live in the Minneapolis area and wondering if anyone has an
opinion as to a good company with which to deal. The national ones here
include ADT, Brinks, and Honeywell as well as a number of small local
firms.

These folks have good prices and excellent customer service. I have no
affiliation ... just a happy customer. Their email tech support is above
average.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from Robert L. Bass!

Sorry, this was meant for another poster who was asking about a
do-it-yourself install.

My best advice would be to have a look around the neighborhood. Talk to
your neighbors! Whose signs are visible? Which ones are "local" firms?
Check out their reports at the local BBB. Call three of them and ask
for a review. Make sure all three quote the same equipment (i.e. number
(and type) of motions, number of doors and windows, keypads, etc.) so
you can compare "apples to apples". Ask them to leave a copy of their
monitoring agreements so you can review their terms at your leisure.
Don't succumb to (or tolerate) "pressure tactics". A reputable firm
won't be using that.

A really good resource is http://alarm.org/pressreleases/10tips.html.

Good luck!!
