I installed a "real" panel years ago and have it programmed to phone me
(and then my wife) if there's an intrusion. That way (cheap bastard
that I am) avoids a contract and monitoring charges. My local PD gave
me an inside number to call if needed. Downside is that unless you go
cellular you need a land line.

Also, make sure your system is separate from the monitoring service and you have all control codes and manuals for the panel. Services often lock in customers by restricting that in
