4. 8 Things to keep in mind Choosing a home security system takes ample time and research. There are 8 things to consider when choosing a home security system from a company that is right for you and your family.

5. 1.Necessary Equipments Make sure the security company provides you with all necessary equipments like alarms, cameras, and other required detectors and sensors before you fix a security system package for your home.

6. 2: Smart Home Automation Smart tech adjusts to your family’s schedule and preferences. Home automation can keep the lights on while you’re out of town or let the dog walker in while you’re out of the house. 6

7. 3:Environmental Monitoring Equipment like smoke alarms, pipe freeze detectors, and leak detectors fall into this category. Families with older homes, especially, should look for devices in this category. There are solar-powered security systems that are more costly, but are a green option with various components 7

8. 4: Consider Monitoring For about $20 to $50 per month, central-system monitoring will notify the alarm company that there's an emergency. And the company can then notify police or the fire department. However, if your home is usually occupied or you believe your neighbors will call police or fire if there's a problem and the alarm is going off, you may not need monitoring as a part of your home security system. 8

9. 5: Wireless Home Security System With a wireless home security system, there are no wires to run other than the electrical cord on the control interface. And that means if you can hang a picture on the wall, you can install a wireless security system and save money on installation costs.

10. 6: Understand the Contract Some home security system companies may offer you additional services or devices as add-ons, so knowing exactly what you need and what the contract covers is essential. Will the contract cover security of your garage, valuables or offer personal security? Also, be sure to ask about all up-front charges, including installation and monitoring fees.

11. 7: Inquire About Insurance Discounts Many homeowners can get a percentage discount on home insurance premiums for having a home security system with a monitoring service. However, that discount typically won't cover the monthly monitoring cost.

12. 8: Are There Some Easy Security Upgrades You Can Do Yourself? Burglars aren't usually that sophisticated, so there are many things you can do that would discourage would-be robbers. Be sure to lock your doors and windows when you're not home and install a deadbolt. Outside motion sensors also work well, as do dogs and beware-of-dog signs. 12
