One of the best ways to protect your property from intruders, vandalism and theft is with a home security system. Choosing the one that best suits your needs can help ensure safety and give you peace of mind.

Installation
Many DIY systems come pre-programmed and even have peel-and-stick equipment for ease of installation. However, professional installers are security experts who know how to maximize your protection.
Monitoring
Professional monitoring is costlier than self-monitoring because it automatically alerts authorities if an alarm is triggered and offers greater protection than a DIY system, which typically relies on phone alerts. Additionally, a monitored system might even save you money on your homeowners insurance. Expect to pay monthly or annual fees, and be mindful that contract lengths can range from monthly to multi-year agreements.
