Home Security Products Headquarters

There is a wide range of home security providers available.   Each offering different types of systems and products, and each with their own benefits and drawbacks.  To help you choose the best one for your needs we have compiled the top 5 brands below:

1. Protect America is deservedly our top pick. Installation of equipment is free which makes this a great alternative to paying a large lump sum up front. The monthly monitoring charges start at just $29.95. For one dollar a day you get real peace of mind from an excellent company. They offer 5 plans depending on the number of entry point detectors you need. The systems are wireless and include a talking control panel and various other useful accessories.
2. ADT is a company most people are aware of. Just having an ADT home security sign on a window is enough to deter many intruders. The company has been in business longer than most and has a solid reputation as a trustworthy supplier. The charge a little more than Protect America, which is why they have lost the number 1 spot. Expect to pay an instillation fee of $99 and monthly fees of $42.95. They do have special offers, which can bring the monthly fee lower. For larger properties installation fees can rise well above $1,000.
3. Broadview Security is similar to the above two but it doesn’t offer wireless systems. This means it also costs slightly more too, but it has a good reputation for the quality of its home security system products.
4. Lifeshield is also one of the best home security providers, but it does have a high equipment fee of $299. You have to install the system yourself so this is not for people not used to DIY. It is not usually difficult to install home security products. The main benefit of Lifeshield is that the $29.99 monthly monitoring fee is not based on a long-term contract so it can be canceled at any time. However, if you don’t mind DIY, visit our do it yourself home security system page.
5. APX Alarm (Apex) Security Systems are for people that like the best technology. Their color screen two-way voice interface looks great, it even has a radio built in to it. Unfortunately people haven’t always been so impressed with their service.

Research the benefits and features of each of the home security providers before committing to a certain alarm system.  Consider the alarm monitoring and installation costs.  Also consider the many do it yourself home security systems on the market.
