I haven't looked at any other options for a security system. The key issue with any alarm system is the central monitoring and alerting of the authorities. That's why I still have ADT and my security cameras. You can certainly set up a system that somehow notifies you. But what are you going to do?

If you don't care about the monitoring aspect, you can certainly just keep the alarm the way it is. It'll still trigger without monitoring service. You just won't get someone to contact the authorities for you.

With that said and depending on the alarm system and the cameras you use, you can set things up where the cameras are also a sensor trigger for the alarm system. The Hikvision cameras have this capability. The alarm panels I've insisted ADT install are Ademco Vista 15P or similar.
