				Tell me about home security systems
			 
			
			So who's got one?   
		
	
		
	
			
				I want a system that will call me in the event of a break in. I don't want to pay the $30-$50/month fee for "monitoring". I see all the big companies (Brinks, ADT, etc.) sell monitoring, but I just want the hardware smart enough to call me. A text message would be preferred ![]() Do the security system controllers from companies like GE offer this functionality without signing up for a monthly service?

			Check around on-line.  There are cheap "monitoring" companies that offer exactly what you are asking about.  Sorry - I don't have personal experience or recommendations for one though.
