His fault. ADT had no reason to refund the money. Guy didn't cancel his service in accordance with the contract he signed.

But he didn't know the shit wasn't hooked up.

Awesome!

One final question. How do you charge? Is the battery removable or do you have to take the whole system off the wall and charge it for a day?

Yeah, it's a removable battery. You can get an extra battery if you want. Also, you can get a solar charger for your spotlight cams.

Are they easy to set up? Is there any wiring involved or do you just mount onto a wall and it's ready to go? Are they battery operated or do they need to be near an outlet? I'm assuming you connect with them through wifi or is it bluetooth?

Easy set up
No wiring involved
Lithium ion battery (They need a charge about once every two months or so, depending on how often they turn on)
Yes, wifi

The nub second stick sucks. Only downside. Also can't fit in a regular pocket, but eh.

Yeah, I don't think I've played a game that uses it.

What is it bros?

Thinking about it, actually. My wife and I are looking at the different kinds as it feels like there's a million options out there.

Get the spotlight ones. My friend is a cop and he told me to get 4 ring spotlight cameras. He was right. They work great. The only thing that a security company will do for you is put sensors on the windows and alert the cops if the sensors are open while the system is armed. But my friend said that the cops hardly ever respond to those alarms. And if they do and it's a false one, you'll have to pay a fine.
The spotlight ring cameras are better because when you have them set up around the perimeter of your place, you get a notification when movement is detected. And there's an alarm you can push on them too if you need to.

Yeah I love tea, milk and sugar person.
Cyberpunk I like that too, really invested in the story. No amount of adjusting sensitivity can make shooting feel good on controller and even mouse+keyboard is still sub par. It gotten to the point I play on very easy.

It's on sale on Steam. I might check it out.

I always hated ADT. Their systems always bugged out on us and their customer service isn't the best. They also make it really hard to cancel when the time comes.

I just decided to forget having an alarm system and use my two big dogs as my house alarm. Much better investment imo.

You should get you some ring cameras.

Yeah, Blood Omen and Soul Reaver were awesome!

Probably not. Don't like the hassle.

"HOUSTON Recurring monthly charges and auto drafts can easily slip your mind if youre not checking your bank and credit card statements. One man called KPRC 2 Investigates when he realized ADT was deducting money from his bank account for eight years for alarm service he says he no longer had.
Kenneth Thornton has been paying $64.24 every month since 2013. It comes out to just under $6,000. And that whole time he says his ADT service wasnt even connected but the company wont refund his money.

Alarm system was pre-wired in home
When the Thornton family moved to Mission Bend more than 20 years ago his new home was pre-wired for a security alarm, So he and his wife signed up for ADT. Fast forward to 2013:
The alarm system started shorting out. It started shorting out and causing false alarms, explains Thornton.

He says the false alarms had Sheriffs Deputies showing up at his home and even stuck him with big bills for those false alarms. He called ADT to figure out what was wrong.

They sent a guy promptly, he came out and he checked in the room and he went up in the attic. He says, I cant find the problem. So Im gonna have to disable it.

I told him right there, I said, Hey, I dont want it. If its not working, I dont want it. Its not going to do me any good.

Alarm service was disconnected in 2013
Thornton said at that point he didnt think he needed to make any extra phone calls. He says these clipped wires are proof the tech disabled his entire system. But when we reached out to ADT they say their records show when the tech came out in 2013 he only disabled two window sensors.

From that day forward there were no more false alarms, no communication with ADT until April 2021. Talk about alarming!

Well, my money was going out of my account faster than I could put it in there, explains Thornton.
While trying to work on his budget, Thornton noticed ADT had been withdrawing monthly payments from his bank account all along, even though he had signed up with Vivint for wireless alarm service in 2019.

I trusted the company, said Thornton. So I didnt check my account for that, like that. I did, and I should have thats on me.

But Thornton didnt think it should all be on him, nearly $6,000 for service he didnt receive.
ADT says its network last communicated with Thorntons system in June 2019. Adding they were never notified he wanted to cancel his service.
Man, Im not some kind of crook. Im telling you guys the truth, said Thornton.

Complaints to the BBB about ADT service
After months of calls and a complaint to the Better Business Bureau, ADT deposited $748 Thorntons account.

So we asked ADT how it came up with that number and wheres the rest of his money?

A spokesperson told us that amount is half of what ADT owes Thornton since the company says the system was still sending signals until June 2019. Thornton is responsible for the prior payments.

No word on why ADT stopped at refunding him just half of the money they say he was due but after we reached out ADT said it is sending him the remainder for a total refund of $1,496.78.

They take your money in it, you just deal with it? You know, I dont think it is right.

In this case, ADT said its technician wasnt authorized to cancel Thorntons account. He needed to call or write a letter to cancel the service.

Lesson learned: check your auto-payments often
Thorntons cause is a tough way to learn you have to check your bank and credit card statements for errors each month. There are apps that can help manage your spending to help catch auto-payments you may not be aware of. You can easily track your spending and enter payments so you know exactly where your money is going."

How is it today?

Man, I can't wait to see that!

Where can you watch it at?

It does but I really don't understand their deal.

But a trailer is like that and doesn't need to share rooms.

"William Lewis Reece was formally sentenced to death Thursday for the 1997 murder of Tiffany Johnston in the town of Bethany, Oklahoma.

Theres an old saying in law, justice delayed is justice denied. Justice will not be delayed any longer in this case, I sentence you to death, the judge said to Reece.

Reece was also charged with murder for the death of Laura Smither in Friendswood, Jessica Cain in La Marque, kidnapping Kelli Ann Cox from Denton before killing her and burying her body in a Brazoria County field, as well as the kidnapping of Sandra Sapaugh, according to prosecutors.

All of these crimes took place in 1997, but it took nearly 20 years to gather enough evidence to charge Reece."

They say so, yeah. Probably won't be the exact same as before, but it could have been wayyy worse. I can't find a pic of her bandaged hand. I think I'll try to find another news article with the end result.

She did a great job with the rolling with the gator. Ended up watching videos of gator death rolls last night thanks to another gator topic on CE. Definitely doesn't end pretty.

I know, when they start to roll, she gets real. They think they got yo ass at that point.
