FAQs
What’s the monthly cost of a home security system?
The contract will vary depending on various factors. On average, home security systems with a cellular communicator will cost you anywhere from $20 to $40 a month. When you shop for systems that include video cameras like business security systems they have an average monthly cost between $45 to $70 a month.
How do I secure my windows?
In addition to installing home security systems to protect your property, there are a number of things you can do to keep your windows safe. The featured methods involve reinforcing the windows to make them harder to break.
- Use window security film. Window films, while not impenetrable, can delay the burglar’s entry long enough to deter them altogether.
- Install burglar bars. Burglar bars are some of the strongest protection a window have, but keep in mind that they need to be compliant with fire safety laws.
- Install smash-proof glass. Using polycarbonate or Plexiglas instead of regular glass means your window can resist everything short of a battering ram. Be warned though, this upgrade can cost thousands of dollars for a single pane.
- Add window sensors. Your home security company can add these on your windows so that any unauthorized entry will show immediately and be picked up by the home alarm system.
- Add a glass break detector. Window sensors don’t protect against someone smashing through large glass windows or sliding glass doors and walking through it. Glass break detectors, on the other hand, recognize the sounds produced by breaking glass and alert your home security company.

What are the components of a home security system?
A home security system consists of different components, including motion detectors, security cameras, glass break detectors, door and window sensors, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors. These alarm system components work together to keep you safe.
These home alarm system components — when backed by the protection of professional monitoring from a home security company — work together to keep you safe. Getting a security system is one of the top tips we recommend when trying to stay safe at home.
Can I reuse my existing security equipment (like Ring) if it works?
Yes! We takeover older legacy systems all the time. The type of system and the company who installed it will help us understand the best steps to upgrade your system.
Some companies like Xfinity, Cox, Google Nest Cam, Ring, SimpliSafe, Frontpoint and Vivint sell proprietary equipment that only works with their service. It’s always wise to choose smart home equipment that can be linked up with other alarm companies in case you decide you want to switch someday.
Proprietary products are common with DIY or do-it-yourself security companies like Ring alarm.
What time do burglars break in?
Almost two-thirds of burglaries occur between the hours of 6am and 6pm. Most burglars want to avoid confrontation so they won’t strike if they think someone’s home. Read up on how you can tell if your home is being cased by burglars.
Your home is most likely to be targeted by burglars between the hours of 10am-3pm when you’re at work and children are at school. Learn more about what you can do to prevent burglaries by following our list of home security tips.
How much will the smart equipment, monitoring, and installation cost?
Home security costs vary depending on three factors: the size of your property, the number of entry points, and the features and functionality you want from the system.
Smart home alarm system equipment prices start at around $300 on the lower end for a basic alarm system designed for a small home or apartment. For larger properties, expect closer to $1,000, especially if you need the system to be professionally installed.
Keep in mind that you may not need to buy new equipment at all. Many local security providers like Alarm New England are able to reuse most, if not all, of your existing security system, which will help you save money. Check with an alarm pro like Alarm New England to see if your equipment can be reused. You can also add on smart home devices for the convenience of home automation.
Switching to a home security company generally saves you money and eliminates the frustration that customers often face when trying to get ahold of a live person at a large corporation.
Plus, even if you want to replace your security system altogether for something more up-to-date, we make that process simple and help you save money. To score access to our best deals, design a system with us using our online tool and check the price or talk with one of our sales reps over a phone call.
