TopConsumerReviews.com Reveals Best Practices for Buying a Home Security System.

Overland Park, KS (PRWEB) March 16, 2013

Security experts point a finger at the current economy and unemployment rate as leading causes of residential crime increases across the U.S. Over two million burglaries occur each year - leaving many residents and their families feeling unsafe and unsure at home. Experts agree that in order to reduce the chances of residential crime, property owners should cut back their landscaping, install deadbolts, turn on outdoor lighting, and get a family dog. They also generally agree that a home security system offers the highest level of protection available.

With their annual reviews, TopConsumerReviews.com helps consumers select the best home security system to meet their needs. After a recent study, TopConsumerReviews.com determined that homeowners should identify the following best practices when considering a home security system:

Equipment

Not all home security equipment is created equally. Who manufactures the product? Is it a quality company? Does the home security company offer wireless technology to prevent a cut landline and potential loss in service? What equipment does the security system package include? Will it work well for the property owners home?

Cost

Homeowners should investigate all of the costs of the home security system before signing a contract. That includes equipment costs, installation, monitoring, and extra sensors.

Monitoring

Does the home security company offer a 24 hour monitoring service? Live monitoring is recommended for the quickest access to authorities if someone attempts to break in or if a medical emergency arises.
