MYTH #1: A home security system costs lots of money.

This is probably the most well-known home security myth. Many companies offer their customers all of the security hardware, for free. That means the panel, motion sensors, glass break sensors and in home video are free. The only thing people pay is the monthly monitoring fee. Do research first to find out what companies offer the best price.

MYTH #2: A security system requires a long contract.

While it's true many companies do have contracts, often people can get a system without entering into year-long contracts.

MYTH #3: A security system isn't needed because there haven't been any home invasions in the neighborhood.

This is an unfortunate misconception. Burglars are always looking for a target, no matter where the house is located. Also, smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors come in most security packages, and those are critical to have in any home.

MYTH #4: The insurance company covers a home invasion, therefore there's no need for protection.

While the insurance company may cover a home intrusion, the purpose of a security system is to prevent someone from breaking into the home, in the first place. Many insurance companies also offer a discount, for people who have security systems.
