Discovered the monitored alarm I put on my house has a delay from when a sensor is triggered and it goes off. The garage overhead door has a 3 minute delay! Then they call to see if it's a false alarm before they call they police. By the time the police get here my 928 would be long gone and that's the reason I turned it on in the first place!

Called to cancel the alarm system. They bounced me around saying all they could do was I arm the alarm in stay mode to have it instantly go off and that can only be done from the keypad. That would mean I would have to pull out of the garage, close the door, go back in through the front door, arm the alarm, the go back out thru the front door. Kinda kills the whole keeping a car in the garage and being able to leave without getting out in the weather.

After going thru several people a guy finally said they could set up a special keyfob that lets me arm the stay alarm remotely. That is supposed to immediately call the police without an delay. I could pull out of the garage, close the door, then arm the alarm in the stay mode. He also changed me a intro rate of $14.99 for a year!

I'm still wondering if the Police would respond quick enough to keep my car from being stolen. But at least the sirens will go off immediately.
