It’s easy to get lost in all the options available when looking at home security systems and companies. With fast-paced advances in technology, and in the world around us, the market for home security systems has grown dramatically. There are more companies offering more options than ever before and with so much to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start and what to look for when picking a home security company. It might help to keep three important things in mind: technology, cost, and trust.

Technology

Home security systems have come a long way from the big bulky cameras and window alarms with miles of wiring that used to be required when securing your home. Modern home security systems are not only more compact but also smarter and network enabled, allowing you to monitor your home from your smartphone, computer, or other internet-enabled device. In fact, integrating smart home automation with a home security system presents some really extraordinary possibilities – such as controlling lights in your home while you’re on vacation. You might even save some money by lowering your thermostat when you’re away. With endless possibilities, you want a home security company familiar with all of the latest smart home technology and who’s able to fully leverage all the features to give you maximum peace of mind. 

Cost

A high-quality security solution for your home shouldn’t cost you another down payment. Providing for your family’s safety and your peace of mind is priceless and fortunately not at all expensive.  However, as is often the case, the lowest cost option often equates with the lowest reliability, so it’s best to focus on value. The same goes for upfront costs vs. subscription fees. It’s tempting to go with the lowest upfront cost, but subscription fees add up over time. In addition, many homeowners insurance policies offer a discount for professionally monitored security alarm systems. Take time to do the math and determine what the total cost will be for the first five years when you look at upfront costs, monthly monitoring and savings on homeowners insurance. Take the time to understand the big picture and the value so you don’t compromise when it comes to installation by experienced technicians and professional monitoring which lays a solid foundation for the whole system.

Trust

When you think about it, who’s got your back once your home security system is installed and activated? Not only do you deserve to have confidence in the professionals that stand behind the monitoring but you also need a security company that takes customer service seriously and will respond quickly to any inquiries.
