[.ca] How to Circumvent a Security Alarm in 10 Seconds or ... (ISBN 0873647777)

The Book Tells of The Most Fatal Flaw in Security:
I read the other reveiws and wanted to leave one also. If one reads the book it tells of the single most vulnerable part of any security system. It is easily circumvented from the exterior of the building. If the communications link goes down then it's over. The system becomes useless and will not summon the police. After reading the book I have corrected the problem and can't believe the company never told me about the flaw. Apparently they almost all have it. Must back up the communication link for assured response. Glad I bought the book.

No-Buy for PROFESSIONAL THEIVES:
For all You PROFESSIONAL THEIEVES out there, this book is a no buy. This book assumes you work for the company and so can easily switch around wires, while on a break. This book really should be renamed to employment theft made easy. You cannot bypass alarm systems inside peoples houses with this book, unless your gonna rob your own house. Then this book is very useful.

My Security System Had Holes But No More:
I am a Security Manager for a large firm in CA and found this book very valuable. It opened my eyes to many possible weak links in our security systems and told me how to correct them. Every security manager should read this book.

I now have a better alarm system:
This book helped up update our alarm systems at our home and business. It was simple to read and the one point it made about how the alarm communicated to the central monitoring facility was eye opening. We never realized how vulnerable we were. It told us how to have a better alarm system. I would recommend it to anyone who currently has an alarm or is thinking about buying one. I think it really exposes what many alarm businesses don't want you to know.

A Total waste of money and time:
I have to say that this book is yet another attempt of a so called security professional to rip off the consumer. There is absolutely no information in this book on how to circumvent an alarm system. His circumvention techique can be summed up in two steps: if the alarm system is disabled and you are already inside the house(hello!) twist the wires together which are connected to the transmitter. Otherwise cut the phone line. Gee thanks for the insight. Please don't waste your \omoney\c like I did as this buck isn't worth a penny.
