Compare Home Security Providers

Home Security Features to Consider

• Price & Contracts

  Are you looking to pay for your equipment upfront or finance over a period of time? You’ll also need to decide whether you want to commit to a contract or have the freedom to cancel your provider’s service without penalty.

• Equipment

  Most providers offer the basics like a control panel, sensors, and signage. Additional devices will cost extra and include smoke detectors, smart lights, smart locks, video doorbells, security cameras, and more.

• Installation

  Want a professional to install your security system for you, or would you rather install it on your own? Most providers either require professional installation, DIY installation, or offer a choice of both.

• Monitoring

  Choose between 24/7 professional monitoring or self monitoring. Both have its perks – with professional monitoring, a specialist is available around the clock to help, and with self monitoring, you’ll be in charge and can avoid a monthly fee.

• Trial Period

  Need 30 days or as long as 6 months? Find a provider with the appropriate trial period length for you, giving you enough time to test out your security system and make sure it fits your needs.

• Home Automation

  Put light, lock, thermostat, and garage door control at the touch of your finger tips with smart home devices. If voice control suits your fancy, look for security systems that are compatible with smart hubs.
