mine exists solely for my pets in case of fire or other emergency, everything else is covered by insurance.

ADT used to have a clause in their contracts you could only cancel during a narrow window near renewal, is that still an issue? They are pretty costly per month compared to some other providers, this even if you own your equipment

Not a clue as I don't use them. I think there are cheaper systems out there that provide fire/emergency options. Simplisafe for instance, haven't looked in awhile so I could be wrong, provides fire alerts and things like that.
