(KMOV) A St. Charles couple said their home warranty only caused headaches for them rather than peace of mind.

Ashley Hill paid $45 a month for the warranty with Residential MD knowing it would be inevitable to have expensive repairs for her 20-year-old home.

We got the home warranty so we would be covered if anything big went out, said Hill.

At first it paid off, the company repaired her dishwasher and replaced her water heater but when she started having problems with the furnace,

Hill thought she was covered but cause Cross Country Home Services, the parent company of Residential MD, was well aware of her furnace problems.

They would fix something small and say it would work now, Hill said.

Featuring rolling-code technology, the Skylink SC-1000 Complete Wireless Alarm System provides maximum security and reduces the likelihood of false alarms. Suitable for homes, offices, 24-hour stores, businesses, or wherever security is a concern, this all-in-one system offers a 100-foot operating range, installs in minutes, and requires no monitoring services or fees. Reliable, Cutting-Edge System Uses Trouble-Free Wireless Connections Keep your home or business safe and secure with this reliable, cutting-edge wireless security system. The SC-1000 utilizes innovative technology with trouble-free wireless connections to provide security, making it a great choice for protecting against intruders and safeguarding in case of an accident, fire, flood, or other emergency.

Do-it-Yourself Security Eliminates the Need for Monitoring Fees The SC-1000 is a do-it-yourself system, which means you can easily install it yourself and then use it without paying monitoring fees or registering with an alarm company. To arm or disarm, you simply enter your personal code or use the keychain transmitter.

Rolling-Code Technology for Maximum Security and Fewer False Alarms

Motion, Door, and Window Sensors for Reliable Emergency Protection The SC-1000 comes complete with a motion sensor and two door/window sensors--enough coverage for small- to medium-sized homes. Because it works in conjunction with up to 30 Skylink security accessories, including Dial Alert, Alarm Detector Sensor, and Flood Sensor, this system can be customized to suit your needs and can be expanded to accommodate larger spaces or businesses that require a higher level of protection. If any sensors are triggered when the system is armed, the included 110dB siren will make a piercing sound, and the sensor will immediately send a wireless signal to the system's dialer.

Automatically Calls for Help in an Emergency In case of an emergency, the SC-1000 follows a straightforward process to make sure you get the help you need. When you receive the system, you can program the emergency dialer to call up to nine different phone numbers, including your cellular phone, a pager, your doctor, relatives, friends, neighbors, etc., should something trigger one of the sensors. You'll also record a personal 40-second emergency message. In case of emergency, the system's dialer will automatically dial the number or numbers you have entered. Once the recipient picks up the phone, the emergency dialer will play your prerecorded message and inform the recipient that you are in an emergency situation and that help should be sent right away.

Lighted Keypad and Low-Battery Indicator for Easy Operation Offering simple and straightforward operation, the SC-1000 features a lighted keypad that is easy to read in dark conditions and offers Chime, Instant, and Delay modes. It runs on AC power with nine-volt alkaline battery backup (battery included), and provides a helpful low-battery indicator to prevent a loss of power.

What's in the Box Alarm with control panel (SC-001); one motion sensor (PS-434A); two door/window sensors (WT-433); one keychain transmitter (4B-434); one emergency dialer (AD-433S); two adapters; three nine-volt alkaline batteries; three 12-volt alkaline batteries; phone line; instruction manual; and warranty card.

This kit includes everything you need to guard a medium-sized home. Add up to 30 Skylink accessories for full, customized protection of larger spaces.

After crushing the Muslim Brotherhood at home, Egypt's military rulers plan to undermine the Palestinian militant group Hamas (pic), which runs the neighbouring Gaza Strip, senior Egyptian security officials told Reuters.

The aim, which the officials say could take years to pull off, includes working with Hamas's political rivals Fatah and supporting popular anti-Hamas activities in Gaza, four security and diplomatic officials said.

Since it seized power in Egypt last summer, Egypt's military has squeezed Gaza's economy by destroying most of the 1,200 tunnels used to smuggle food, cars and weapons to the coastal enclave, which is under an Israeli blockade.

Now Cairo is becoming more ambitious in its drive to eradicate what it says are militant organisations that threaten its national security.

Intelligence operatives, with help from Hamas's political rivals and activists, plan to undermine the credibility of Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in 2007 after a brief civil war against the Fatah movement led by Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

According to the Egyptian officials, Hamas will face growing resistance by activists who will launch protests similar to those in Egypt that have led to the downfall of two presidents since the Arab Spring in 2011. Cairo plans to support such protests in an effort to cripple Hamas.

"Gaza is next," said one senior security official, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. "We cannot get liberated from the terrorism of the Brotherhood in Egypt without ending it in Gaza, which lies on our borders."

Asked why Egyptian intelligence is not going after Hamas now, another senior security official said: "Their day will come."

Egypt accuses Hamas of backing al Qaeda-linked militant groups which have stepped up attacks against security forces in Egypt's Sinai peninsula over the past few months. The attacks have spread to Cairo and other cities.

Wireless security systems are popular nowadays especially with tech-savvy offices and families. From fathers who are always online with their tablets to children on smartphones, anything wireless has easily become the optimal service or product of the modern family. Offices also prefer the wireless setup for their security since most of their staff use remote or mobile technology.

This is why SecuritySystemReviews.com has come out with their list of the best wireless security systems for 2014. The list features the best security companies who know the challenges and intruders that clients can face in the coming year. A panel of experts scrutinized and determined the rankings of the most popular and reliable companies for the coming year.

In this fast-paced age of information overload, it's easy for potential buyers to get lost in conflicting client reviews, rankings with irrelevant or too little information and lists that are difficult to understand. SecuritySystemReviews.com has made sure that the experts provide potential buyers with comprehensive yet important information. This saves clients a lot of time and money since it's difficult to make a decision without having enough information. The website urges the consumer to look carefully through their options and know what to demand and ask from the companies they wish to call.

When experts talk about a wireless home security system and setup for the office, the most important feature is the network the infrastructure is going to use to function. When these types of systems first came out and were more expensive and unpopular, the security of the data network between wireless security devices was better. Now, since wireless technology is everywhere, the risks have grown. It's important for consumers to know what to ask their service provider and what to avoid.

Clients can know more about the kinds of systems service providers set up through the wireless security system reviews on the website. The best wireless security system should have its own tough, encrypted cellular network. Why not LAN or Wi-Fi? These two types are easy to crack; a laptop and easily-accessible software can attack the network and disable wireless home security systems in a small amount of time. But if the network the system uses is cellular and connected directly to the service provider's infrastructure then there may be time to alert the police and the service provider if an intruder is up to something.

Experts know that wireless home security system reviews and office setup reviews involve different considerations. SecuritySystemReviews.com keeps all the considerations in mind and gives clients comprehensive information and clear data on how service providers fare in the tech-savvy market.

If clients want to know more details about each service provider, clicking on the links provided can tell them if the company offers more value for their systems. It may be possible that some companies can offer free trials, free installations and even mobile apps to enhance their systems.

The key to getting the wireless security system that works for the home or office is to make an informed and cautious decision.

DELTONA, Fla. -

Home security video caught a man peering into a woman's window as she was changing, but deputies have not arrested the neighbor who they believe may be the peeping Tom.

Willie Williams took a closer look at the video taken at his home on Jan. 4 and said he is 100 percent certain it is his neighbor on Escobar Avenue in Deltona.

"It's one of those situations where you don't expect for somebody to be peeping through your daughter's window and that was pretty disturbing," said Williams.

For three hours, the man in the video walks back and forth between the two houses, and every time the bedroom light turns on, he comes right up to the window to look inside. It looks like he knows what he's doing because when the light goes off, he ducks to avoid being seen.

"He's peeping at a woman who had recently got out of the shower and done a couple of things in her room as far as getting her relaxed attire for the night," said Williams, who said the victim was a woman visiting the family.

However, normally that's his daughter's room and now he's worried if this peeping Tom has ever been to that window before.

Deputies never arrested the neighbor because they said the video is not good enough to identify him. The suspect's wife said they were asleep the entire night.

"We're married for 30 years, there's no way," said the suspect's wife, who Local 6 is not naming until the suspect is charged. "It's not my husband."

The State Attorney's Office is looking into filing charges.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) As you battled your way through the drastic weather changes over the past several weeks, imagine the toll it has taken on your roof!

Owner of Buddy Heileman Shingle Roofing in Northeast Philadelphia, Buddy is a busy man these days. Hes receiving a lot of calls from customers requesting he check their roof.

Heileman has 40 years experience, and he says the most common problem is at this time of year is, a lot of ice damming. Once the gutters freeze up on the roof and once the snow melt starts to come down it cant get in the gutter. Usually it backs up into the house at that point.

What can the homeowner do in this situation? Take the gutter off the edge of the roof. Let everything get off the roof so it cant back up into the house. That is normally what we do.

And for those who need a new roof? Heileman says the most important part of any roofing contract is the installation itself. If the roof is not installed correctly, the roofing manufacturer will not honor the warranty, so choosing a reputable contractor is critical.
