What to Consider When Choosing a Home Security System

Before you invest in a home security system in California, here are some factors to consider:

Monitoring: Self vs. Professional

The initial decision is whether you want to monitor the system yourself or have a monitoring center do it for you.

  • Self-Monitoring: Some relatively low-cost options, sending alerts and videos to your phone. You must be ready to act on alerts at any hour and every day.
  • Professional Monitoring: A monitoring center monitors security incidents in real-time and calls authorities if necessary. While that does incur a monthly fee, it offers more peace of mind, particularly if you travel frequently or have a heavy schedule.
If you are not sure what option works best for your home, SafeHouse Security Consultants can evaluate your home and suggest the best security setup for your home.

Equipment & Features

Not every home security system protects you equally. Some devices come with only basic features, such as door/window sensors, while some provide advanced security features.

Here are some important features to consider:

  • Security Cameras: Indoor and outdoor surveillance cameras can deter crime and help capture evidence if something does happen.
  • Motion Sensors: These will sense movement when you are at home or outside.
  • Glass Break Sensors: The alarm gets triggered when a window breaks.
  • Smart Locks: This enables you to remotely lock or unlock doors.
  • Panic Buttons: Directly call for help in case of an emergency.
  • Battery Backup: This will guarantee that your security system is still functioning if the electricity goes down.

Installation: DIY vs. Professional

A vital decision to make is whether to be a DIYer or to hire someone for your security system.

  • DIY Installation: Most contemporary security systems have been intentionally made easy to set up, enabling homeowners to place cameras, sensors, and alarms themselves without any assistance from professionals. This can save on upfront costs and make it easier to take the system with you if you move.
  • Professional Installation: Although pricier, this option guarantees that your system is properly installed with the best camera angles, sensor positioning, and integration with monitoring services. Some have professional installation, especially wired security systems.

Customer Support & Warranty

Having reliable customer support and a solid warranty can make a significant difference in your overall experience with a home security system.

  • Customer Support: Look for a provider that offers 24/7 support, multiple contact options (phone, chat, email), and a reputation for quick response times. If something goes wrong, you want to be sure help is available.
  • Warranty & Return Policy: Check the warranty period for your equipment—most security companies offer warranties ranging from one to three years. Also, understand the return policy in case the system doesn’t meet your needs.

At SafeHouse Security Consultants, we help you find security providers that not only offer top-tier equipment but also have strong customer support and warranty policies, ensuring you get the best service possible.

Ease of Use & Smart Features

California home security systems are built for ease of use. Key features to look for include:

  • A mobile app that is not overloaded with features, just the essentials: check the footage, arm/disarm the system, and receive alerts.
  • Real-time alerts for burglaries, motion detection, or any other security risks.
  • Voice and automation control through integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit smart home devices.

Selecting an trustworthy security system will ensure you can respond quickly in an emergency. Our security consultants work with homeowners to choose systems that are intuitive to use but highly protective.

Cost & Budget

Equipment, monitoring, and installation options determine home security system prices in California. Here’s a general breakdown:

  • Equipment Costs: Ranges from $100 to over $1,000, depending on the number of cameras, sensors, and additional features.
  • Installation Costs: Professional installation can range from $100 to $500, depending on system complexity.
  • Monitoring Fees: Monthly monitoring costs range from $10 to $60, depending on the level of service. Some companies offer contracts, while others allow month-to-month plans.

Some companies provide contracts, while others provide month-to-month plans. For the lowest prices, SafeHouse Security Consultants partners with the best security vendors and negotiates behind-the-scenes discounts for you. This gives you the best security solutions at the best prices available.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Talia P. (Homeowner)

Highly recommend. One of our friends had a very scary experience with a break in this year, and the suspects never got caught. They referred us to SafeHouse after they worked with them, and we were super impressed with how thorough the security assessment was. These guys are obviously professionals. They looked at literally everything and the report was very detailed. They were fast, reasonable and fair.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

David & Jacey B. (Homeowners)

My wife and I sleep so much better at night knowing that we have solid security measures and plans in place. They say they sell ā€œpeace of mindā€. And yeah, that couldn’t be more accurate. Thank you guys so much.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cezar Q. (Seller)

My realtor had my property assessed by Safehouse just before I listed it for sale. They implemented some cost effective security measures, wrote a fantastic report on the security of my home, and my realtor leveraged that to find us buyers. You’d be surprised how many people value that these days. Highly recommend doing this if you’re selling a home.
