Security System Prices What is really behind all of those security alarm companies advertising a FREE Home Security System or the $49 dollar special? What is really behind these hard to believe deals and how do I know if it is a good deal? Get the details on how these deals work. How much does the $99 home security system really cost? When you get that coupon in the mail that offers a complete home security system for $99 down, what does it all mean. It means that the security alarm company wants to lease you the equipment (retain ownership) and sign you to a 3 to 5 year monitoring agreement. The $99 dollar specials gets you the following: Basic Security System - Control Panel
- 1 LCD Display Kepad
- 1 Motion Detector
- 2 Door or Window Contacts
- Indoor Siren
- Backup Battery
- Window Stickers
- Yard Sign
Leased Security System Costs $1359 Purchased Security System Costs $990 - $1170 - Equipment Purchase $450
- Monitoring Costs ($20 X 36 = $720)
- 3 Year Total Cost $1170
As you can see, if you spend $20 a month for alarm monitoring, the leased security system would cost over $300 more in the first 3 years with each month that you have the security system, purchasing the alarm system outright is the better deal in the long term. And, if your security system is non-proprietary you can switch security alarm providers and cancel your alarm monitoring if you choose to do so.
