home security tips
Camera systems with Frontpoint range from $600 to $975, depending on contract length. We like that Frontpoint’s DIY security system won’t cost you too much up front, and it comes with more features than most free home security systems. Even the most expensive system is less than $1,000 without a long contract, making it a relatively affordable option. It’s a great choice if you’re somewhat comfortable with technology and want to be able to take your system with you if you move. What we like: Security Doctors is a Chicago based, family owned business that offers home security and home automation services, with packages to protect against burglary, home invasion, fire, carbon monoxide, flooding and medical emergencies. They have a selection of wireless security cameras with remote monitoring and video storage capabilities, which are great for when you’re away from home or to capture footage for the police in the unfortunate event you need it. Their home automation features can integrate with thermostats, lighting, locks and cameras. Security Doctors' installation fee starts at $99. Equipment costs will depend on what kind of security system features you want. T Cellular monitoring costs $39. 95 per month, and landline alarm monitoring is offered at a reduced rate of $29.
