What is a home security system and how does it work?
A home security alarm system is a network of integrated devices linked to a central control panel that helps protect against burglaries and other intrusions. The system typically includes:
- A control panel or base station
- Sensors for doors and windows
- Motion sensors
- Glass break sensors
- Security cameras
These components monitor entry into your home and trigger an alarm after a short delay if unauthorized access is detected. This delay allows time to disarm the system to prevent false alarms. If the system is monitored, a professional service contacts you when the alarm is activated.
Home security systems operate in a coordinated manner, with each component communicating its status to the control panel. This information is then relayed to your smartphone and, if subscribed, to a monitoring station. The control panel acts as the central hub, connecting all the components. It can connect via Wi-Fi or cellular data. Hardwired systems use electrical wiring to connect components, while wireless systems utilize radio frequencies or mesh networks for communication.
Are home monitoring systems worth it?
In order to decide if a security system with monitoring is worth it, start by asking yourself what would make it worth it to you. The average cost of a break-in is almost $3,000?1 According to a 2018 survey of people convicted of burglary2, over 65% said they would not target a home that is protected by visible security equipment. Alarm systems deter crime and can increase the odds of catching a burglar if your home does get broken into.
What is the best home security system available in the U.S.?
For over 10 years, SafeWise has researched, reviewed, compared, met with and ranked the best home security systems on the market to help you confidently protect what matters most in your life.
SimpliSafe is our top pick for best do-it-yourself (DIY) home security because of its streamlined, affordable DIY home security system that comes without a contract and an optional subscription after your first month (if you'd prefer self-monitoring).

Plus, it is the only company on our list that gives you the freedom to start and stop professional monitoring, switching to self-monitoring whenever you like. Our next favorite DIY home security system is Cove, thanks to its super-simple installation and rave reviews from customers.

Vivint's proactive Smart Deter lurker protection includes strobing lights, whistles and even pre-recorded messages that let burglars know they picked the wrong house. Plus, every Vivint alarm system comes with professional monitoring, professional installation, advanced smart home integration, and an in-home security assessment.

To date, we've tried SimpliSafe in four different homes and in lab tests (once I accidentally scared everyone in the office with the siren that I couldn't turn off). We also talk to SimpliSafe representatives regularly about current and upcoming product offerings and follow SimpliSafe's customer forums.
"I like that SimpliSafe was easy to install on our own rather than requiring professional installation. I also like the affordability of the monitoring system . . . it feels like a good value . . . and the response time is great. We had a false alarm once and they reached out to us immediately."

Equipment must be fully removed before a refund will be processed. Conditions preventing normal system operation cannot be caused by the customer.
ADT is the most experienced security company in the country. If you’ll sleep better knowing that a well-known, tried-and-true company is watching over your home, ADT is worth the money.
This is why ADT’s experience matters
No one can beat ADT’s experience.
- Top-notch protection delivered for 150 years
- ADT Home Security looks out for more than 8 million people across the globe
- 6 professional monitoring centers
- Partnerships and integration with tech from Google Nest and Ford
- 6-month service guarantee (the longest money-back period in the industry)
Standout feature: ADT Home Security has six redundant monitoring centers. If one monitoring station goes down, your home’s protection transfers to another center. That’s 24/7 protection that you can rely on, even when Mother Nature does her worst.

If you’re going with one of the best home security providers out there, you may as well go all in. The Video and Control bundle includes home automation controls, wireless equipment, and video monitoring, starting around $65 per month (Vivint starts at $45 for similar features). That works out to about $775 a year.
If you have a three-year contract, that's around $2,300 over three years. That may seem steep, but keep in mind that the average loss from one burglary is around $2,600.
ADT testing and ADT self setup

We keep tabs on how ADT security systems perform in both the short- and long-term. We've tried out equipment in testing lab scenarios, followed long-term and new ADT customers to document what they like (and don't like), and gone through an ADT installer crash course to understand what you can expect when an installer comes to your home.
“I had a break-in attempt at my house, and ADT's security system immediately alerted me and the authorities. Within minutes, police arrived, and the perpetrator was caught. Thanks to ADT, my family and I feel safe again.”

That’s probably why Cove has a whopping 98%* customer retention rate. Customers love Cove, and we do too.
Here's how Cove puts customers first
Cove provides low-cost monthly monitoring without a contract and allows easy cancellation if the system doesn't suit your needs. Cove sets you free without punishing penalties and fees, unlike other security solutions that charge 75% to 100% of your remaining contract.
Cove has some more customer-forward goodies we love:

The touchscreen walks you through installation with large, easy-to-follow illustrations. We’ll take this guidance any day over installation booklets or tiny illustrations on an app.

When it comes to monitoring, the Cove Plus plan is our pick. For $28 per month, it includes video recording and monitoring and smart device integration plus a lifetime extended warranty.

We've had two of our testing experts set up and live with Cove in their homes. We also meet with Cove regularly for demos, customer feedback, and insights about current and new product offerings.
"After using Cove for around a month in my home, here's my take: The new version of Cove is easy to install and fully customizable. [When there was water leaking from the washing machine,] I got a text, I got a call, and the alarm itself sounded. Cove really wants to make sure you get the alert when something goes wrong, even if it's a leak in the basement . . . I loved seeing how fast Cove responded to its sensors detecting trouble.”

Pros
Ring Alarm Pro (the 8-piece kit) has a built-in eero WiFi 6 router
Wide camera selection
Affordable monitoring plan
30-day trial period Cons
No cameras included with kits
Up-front equipment cost Ring is the best Wi-Fi security system for building your home’s protection around cameras.
This is why Ring is security camera royalty
Even the best systems seem to slack when it comes to security cameras. Many brands tend to offer a basic selection with basic features. Not Ring. It has everything from Ring doorbell cameras to Ring floodlight cameras with excellent video quality and advanced features:
- Geofencing
- IFTTT compatibility
- 3D motion detection
- Dual-band Wi-Fi
- Motion tracking
- Advanced noise cancellation
- Loud sirens
Standout feature: For $100 more than the basic 5-piece starter kit, the Ring Alarm Pro 8-piece kit comes with a built-in eero Wi-Fi 6 router. The router stabilizes Wi-Fi with speeds up to 900 Mbps and covers up to 1,500 square feet. Plus, your Ring system has 24/7 backup internet to keep it connected during a power outage.

Ring Alarm security kits are affordable. You can buy Ring's five-piece set and receive one year of monthly monitoring for approximately $400. This is cheaper than purchasing equipment alone from other DIY companies.

How do Americans protect their homes?
- 7% of Americans said they increased security measures in the past 12 months.1,2
- 3 in 4 people told us they use some form of property protection.
- Security cameras are the top pick for home security, followed by a guard dog, firearms, and home security systems.
- One quarter of Americans don't do anything to secure their property, even though nearly 30% experienced a property crime in the past 12 months.2
Things to consider before you buy a security system
You don't have to guess when it comes to home security. Here are the top things to consider before you decide on a system.
- What are you protecting? Are you most worried about your property, your pets, your people, your packages, or all?
- Where are you protecting it? Do you need to keep an eye on things outside or are you more focused on seeing what's happening inside your home?
- What kind of property are you protecting? Stand alone houses and apartments have different security vulnerabilities. Consider things like the number of ground-level doors and windows, multiple floors and entrances, and outbuildings—like a garage or shed.
- What's your budget? I always say that you shouldn't have to risk financial security to have home security. Identify your budget before you shop and stick to it.
- How hands-on do you want to be? Do you want a system that does everything for you—from installation to professional monitoring? Or is a DIY system more your style, where you can install it and monitor it yourself using a mobile app? Or do you want a little bit of both?
Home security system FAQ
What is the best do it yourself home security system?
SimpliSafe is our pick for the best do it yourself (DIY) home security system on the market today. We like SimpliSafe's no-pressure sales, optional subscription, and straightforward security options. Not only does SimpliSafe alert you—and the authorities—if there's an emergency like a break-in or fire, but it uses RapidSOS to make sure you get the help you need as fast as possible.
Home security systems that are 100% do it yourself let you pick the security products (like an entry sensor, smart lock, window sensor, cameras), set them up, and monitor them—all on your own.
Related questions
Is a home security system worth it?
Yes, a home security is worth the investment over time. It would take around six years of paying for a home security system to match the cost of being burgled just one time. According to the FBI, the average loss from a burglary is over $2,600.
With the average annual cost of a home security system coming in around $400 after equipment, it’s a preventative measure that’s worth it. Plus, you can get discounts on home owners insurance, and most burglars say they’d skip a house that has a security system.
How much does a home security system cost?
The average monthly monitoring cost for a home security system is just under $32 per month. Home security system equipment can range from around $200 up to more than $1,000 depending on how many sensors and cameras you need.
Based on our comparisons of home security monthly fees, you can find pro monitoring for as little as $8 per month, but that's for the basics, and doesn't usually include video monitoring. Plans that include perks like smart home integration and video monitoring can run between $40 and $60 per month.
That adds up to around $720 or less per year, but it's far less than the cost of a break-in. The average loss from a burglary is nearly $3,000. Keep in mind that the more features and security devices you add to your system, the bigger the price tag.
Related questions
What is the best self-monitoring security system?
The best self-monitoring security system is Eufy, which operates effectively without a subscription. It features local storage for security footage and supports a variety of cameras. The HomeBase 3, Eufy's latest base station, includes advanced smart detection capabilities like recognizing people, vehicles, animals, and even facial recognition.
While professional monitoring is optional through Eufy's Protection Plan Plus for about $10 per month, you can get solid home security from Eufy without paying extra.
To learn more, check out the pros and cons of self-monitoring home security systems.
Do I have to sign a contract for a home security system?
It depends on which security company you choose. Many professionally monitored home security systems require a contract, and contract length can range from three to five years. But you’ll find more home security options than ever before that offer shorter contracts and month-to-month (contract-free) terms—especially if you can pay for equipment up front.
Most home security companies will charge you around 75% of the remaining term of your contract if you cancel early—and some require 100%.
