Choosing the Best Home Security System for You

When it comes to choosing the best home security system, it’s easy to get lost in all the different companies out there. Prices can range wildly and every system offers different features. So, which is the best home security system for you? We’ve compiled a list of the most important features you should consider while you search. 

DIY vs. Professional-Installation

Do you consider yourself a handy person? If so, you might consider ordering a DIY home security system. However, this option does come with more hassle on your end. You’ll need to buy the proper tools and equipment, hook up the sensors yourself, and potentially risk damaging doors/walls in your home in the process. With professional installation, you can rest assured that the process will be quick and easy. Additionally, you won’t need to worry about the upfront costs of buying a kit, purchasing tools, equipment—or risk damaging your home in the process.

24/7 Monitoring—Do I need It?

You’ll likely find that some home security systems offer 24/7 monitoring services, while many others don’t. Without this service, your system can activate the alarm and notify you, but can’t do much else. With 24/7 monitoring, trained professionals monitor your system and can contact the authorities immediately in the case of a home invasion or a natural emergency. 

Choosing a Contract That’s Best for You

Many companies offer no-contract or short-term contract plans for their systems. While these may sound appealing to you, it’s important to be careful. Many companies offer short-term plans at a low price, just to bump up the rates once your contract ends and their systems are already installed. Remember: home security isn’t something you just want for the short term. So, it’s often a wiser choice to choose a long-term option where you can know with certainty that your price won’t change over the lifetime of your agreement.
