The Review System

How do we figure it out?

Simple. We have our own review system designed to help you pick the best home security system to meet your needs and preferences. As straightforward as it may sound, we don’t want you to risk all your hard work on the wrong hands.

*DISCLAIMER*

We try to keep up with everything. However, as technology advances faster than our feet can run, we might miss a thing or two. If you see any discrepancies in our reviews,  please do not hesitate to inform us. We’ll research on it immediately and update our contents.

Price

Admit it. The first thing you look for when it comes to new purchases is the price. We’re all guilty about that. Since security systems do come with a chunky amount, we want to make sure it’s worth your hard earned money.

Here are some of the questions we know you’d like to get answered.

• How much is the most basic package?
• How much is the installation fee and monthly rate?
• Does it require upfront payment?
• Do I need to pay extra for home surveillance and video recording?
• Is technical support free of charge?
• Is there a separate activation fee?

Package Breakdown

Of course you want to find the right fit. We know that. That’s why we dissect packages so you can see what’s inside.

• Does it have enough equipment to cover all of my house’s entry points?
• Is it suitable for small apartments or big houses?
• Will it include devices for fire and flood or just for burglary and intrusion?
• Does it include a medical alert device or is it sold separately?
• Will it have home surveillance and monitoring?
• Are there included cameras?

Functionality

Other than the devices, we also review and research on how each device functions. We know you’re aware what a sensor looks like. However, we want to make sure you know how it works.

• What are the devices’ ranges?
• How do they monitor and detect movements?
• How are they installed?
• How do they function?
• Do they require another device to work?

Reliability

A security system has the primary function of making your home safe. It is of utmost importance that  they stand by what they say they can do for your security.
