"Bought security through ADT mainly for the automation options that come with the system. My spouse loves being able to turn on and off our lights in different areas of the house while we are gone. We travel often, so giving the illusion that we are home is a good deterrent."

"I booked Foster Electric of Chattanooga on 10/04/24 to install dimmer switches and mount my big-screen TVs on the wall on 10/19/24. I paid a 50% deposit ($500+) a couple of weeks ago for them to come out on 10/19/24, but they were a no-call, no-show."

"Nick showed up on time and completed all the work neatly and timely. The outdoor cameras were hung discreetly as required by my HOA. He programmed the system into my cell phone and computer explaining everything in a way I could understand. I'm very pleased with the work he did for me."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

The cost of a home security system depends on the kinds of devices you install, but the average cost is about $750. Fully monitored systems with hardwired alarms, cameras, motion detectors, and lights will cost a lot more—up to $2,000. Meanwhile, a few wireless cameras that deliver video to an app will be significantly less expensive, starting at as little as $200.

Your best bet is to install a bracket that secures to the bottom of the unit and the side of your house. You should still secure the AC unit in the open window using some of the other methods already listed, but a bracket is best to ensure that it stays put—both during operation and in case of an attempted theft.

Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.

Home automation systems offer a wide range of automation products and services. Some of the most popular options include:

  • Cameras: $35–$350

  • Door and window sensors: $20–$100

  • Doorbells: $100–$350

  • Locks: $150–$400

  • Garage door openers: $150–$500

  • Lighting: $20–$100

  • Speakers: $30–$300

  • Outlets and plugs: $20–$100

  • Thermostats: $150–$300

  • Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: $50–$150

  • Smart home hubs: $200–$900

  • Blinds: $50–$75

  • Appliances: $50–$3,000

  • Vacuums: $200–$1,200

  • Lawn systems: $80–$300

  • Wi-Fi and Mesh systems: $200–$500

  • Water monitoring: $100–$1,000

Understanding the pros and cons of installing a home security system is the first step to deciding which one is right for you. A few of the advantages and disadvantages include:

Pros

  • Added security for your household

  • Reduced home insurance premiums

  • Many smart home integrations available

  • Security companies can monitor your home 

Cons

  • Expensive setup costs 

  • Subscription costs can add up quickly

  • Features may be vulnerable to hackers

  • Weak signal reduces the security of a wireless system
