High Price, No Discounts
For customers that don't have around $1000 ready for a new system, it might be difficult to get an account with America Alarms.
Since they do not offer promotional packages that include "free" or discounted systems customers need to be ready to purchase the system in full.
This could be a potential barrier for many who want home security but don't have the capital.
