In general, I completely agree with you because as for me, this is a really great idea. I also put an alarm everywhere because I understand that there is no way without it at all, and when I chose, I read a lot of reviews and that I really liked Ajax because there are a lot of positive words about the effectiveness of this system. And after trying it myself, I realized that it really is. You can purchase and add additional devices to the system separately. Detectors can be connected with a few taps in the mobile application.
In general, it seems to me that as far as security is concerned, it should be raised at the country level and good alarms should be installed everywhere.
