If you feel more safe and secure in your home then it's not a waste. Our home is at the end of a quiet cul de sac with neighbors home most of the time and the neighborhood is gated. The gated thing isn't a complete deterrent but it helps I think. Having said that, if I was away from home very much I'd probably reactivate our service.....and if I ever do, our system needs upgrading.
