Many individuals look for a home security system to protect their home, family, and belongings. Some people are away on business or for other various reasons and want to be assured their house is safe. There are two types of home security systems, the first being hiring an outside service to setup and monitor your house and the other being a self installed home security system.

Cheapest and best? That is normally a tall order, but there are solutions out there. These days I would say the most expensive one is the one you don’t get. Burglaries are up, bad guys are stealing more stuff, and alarm systems do a lot more than they used to. Plus, the rebate you get on your homeowner insurance should offset a chunk of the monthly fee, especially if you add fire monitoring (should not cost extra). Throw in getting rid of your phone line (good alarm systems are cellular), and you are there. As for fire, my wife is more worried about our two dogs than someone stealing anything, so we have smokes on all 3 floors. Our dogs do not dial 911 that well…
Sounds like you want affordable peace of mind. It really depends on what you want your system to do – and today, what a good system can do will surprise you. For starters, the only safe systems use cellular monitoring (no phone line required, no phone line to cut!). Anything else is old news, since even an internet connection is easy to cut. Plus, the company should not charge extra for the cell radio, or add on big monthly fees for cell monitoring. The next thing is interactive services – you will be amazed what you can get today. So here is what you might look for:
1) 100% cellular monitoring – no phone line required, and none to cut!
2) Remote arm/disarm capability
3) Special apps for iPhone, Blackberry, Android
4) Email & text notifications on anything happening at home: doors opening, etc.
5) Video services – live viewing from any web connection (including phone) and motion-activated clips
6) Smart home – remote light and thermostat control
In other words, the game has changed, and the "old school" companies are way behind. And you can get a great system that that is easily installed – that means more savings, and you can add devices at any time, and even move the system with you. When researching, I strongly recommend that you look at all the reviews you can find, and Yelp! is a good place to start. Shop hard, and don’t just focus on the big names: look for safer, smarter, simpler, and more affordable – you will be happy you did!
