Amgard E8496 burglar alarm (10/84)

The burglar alarms were not rated for effectiveness. At $600, the Amway system was 2 to 6 times more expensive than the 9 other systems, although it does come with 2 sensors and 3 transmitters—more than any of the others. Without knowing the cost of additional sensors and transmitters it's hard to compare costs. I noticed, though, that the Mountain West system, which comes with 5 sensors but no transmitters, is priced at $160, and the Radio Shack system with 1 sensor and 1 transmitter also costs $160.

I have no distributor pricing information for this product.
