A friend in South Williamsport is getting a DIY home security system with monthly monitoring. I guess it cost a whole lot less per month than ADT or one of them. I don't know, I never felt the need to worry about such things.
Anyhow, the alarm company didn't have anything on file about a permit requirement and suggest he call the local police to find out if there is. He's all worried about because it says in the email from the security folks that the police might not show up if called by the alarm company or they might show up and fine him.
He called the police who passed the buck to the boro. Struck out at both. Then he called the County 911 center and got nowhere.
I thought maybe somebody here could say if anything needs to be done - like Mike maybe. Anybody ever do a home security system and have to file something with the local government to tell them who your monitoring is done by?
