Dear ALL,

Hoping you can offer some constructive advice, direction as I am looking for a DIY alarm system or an alarm installer that does not charge like a wounded bull.

I do not want a reporting back to base system, that ties me in to a contract with a monitoring firm.

I would like a camera based system that will text or email me with any alarm incidents.
We also have two dogs that can be anywhere in the house in the evening / night.
During the day time they will be in the laundry.

Thanks
