Indeed, nearly half of Americans 49 percent say they are open to installing their own home security system, according to a 2016 LivSecure survey. Of course, there are pros and cons of taking this DIY approach. Because there's no monthly fee, many self monitoring systems are cheaper than professional home security systems. Proponents also say self monitoring versions give homeowners a better sense of control over protecting their domain through access to live video feeds, mobile alerts, smartphone technology and other self monitoring tools. Still, a traditional, professionally monitored home security system has advantages. Professional security systems will automatically alert authorities in an emergency situation, such as a break in or a fire. With self monitoring systems, you have to make the call. Also, with a security provider, "you have someone to contact should your system have any kind of service issues," Walters says. A security company "can send out a technician to troubleshoot and fix a panel that's gone bad, which you don't have with a DIY approach. "A security provider can also keep eyes on your house when you're away on vacation, Guilbeau points out. And security providers will often offer to have an expert assess your home to help you determine the most effective setup for your house.

Camera systems with Frontpoint range from $600 to $975, depending on contract length. We like that Frontpoint’s DIY security system won’t cost you too much up front, and it comes with more features than most free home security systems. Even the most expensive system is less than $1,000 without a long contract, making it a relatively affordable option. It’s a great choice if you’re somewhat comfortable with technology and want to be able to take your system with you if you move. What we like: Security Doctors is a Chicago based, family owned business that offers home security and home automation services, with packages to protect against burglary, home invasion, fire, carbon monoxide, flooding and medical emergencies. They have a selection of wireless security cameras with remote monitoring and video storage capabilities, which are great for when you’re away from home or to capture footage for the police in the unfortunate event you need it. Their home automation features can integrate with thermostats, lighting, locks and cameras. Security Doctors' installation fee starts at $99. Equipment costs will depend on what kind of security system features you want. T Cellular monitoring costs $39. 95 per month, and landline alarm monitoring is offered at a reduced rate of $29.
