I have something similar. I don't have a phone line to the house - brand new house and I never had one installed - but it uses a cellular system to call their monitoring system. I've also installed secondary dead bolts on the doors, and also a kill switch to the garage door openers.

It does save me on my homeowners insurance.

The only downside is the glass sensor. We have a dozen of them throughout the house, and even with the alarm off if we break a glass cup or have a loud bang like a gun shot, it sets them off.
