Find The Best Home Security Systems

Home Security

Security systems and alarms have come a long way in recent years, with video doorbells, automatic sensors and 24/7 monitoring.

We're increasingly security-conscious and keen to protect our families and belongings from theft or intrusion - but how do you begin deciding what to spend on your peace of mind!

Best10Scout introduces our new home security review category, providing independent assessments of the top home security providers to help make informed choices about the best ways to safeguard your home.‍

Choosing the Home Security Provider

There are countless security systems you can choose from, so the important place to begin is by assessing what you're expecting from the service:

• Do you want a simple alarm or alert sensor you can activate when you're away?
• Are you worried about any particular threats or access points?
• Do you have young children and need a tamper-proof system they can't reach?
• How important is it to you that your home security system includes environmental protection, detecting things like smoke, leaks and fires?

If you're keen on camera surveillance, the raft of questions gets even longer!

You could go for independent monitoring, manually activated cameras, lenses indoor or out, or a basic doorbell camera if you're keen to deter canvassers and door-to-door salespeople.‍

Finding a Competitive Home Security System

Once you've decided on the features and functionality you want, it's time to assess your budget.

Home security isn't necessarily a huge expense. There are some highly competitive systems out there, compatible with mobile apps, so you can keep a watchful eye on your home when you're travelling.

Some of the home security systems we review also come with added extras that might be essential if you have any specific things that worry you.

Think panic sensors or alarms for elderly family members, so they can get emergency help if they're home alone.

Professional monitoring tends to be a little higher on the pricing spectrum since it connects your home security network to a call centre that will respond if any sensors are triggered.

However, it's well worth considering if you tend to be away from home for extended hours, as a mobile alert telling you a window has been broken isn't going to be much help if you are hours away!‍

Independent Home Security Reviews

Personal safety is a serious business. We believe it's one of those services where independent advice is invaluable in ensuring you pick trusted providers and systems that won't let you down when it matters most.

From self-installation kits to intelligent smoke detection, global alarm monitoring services to simple wireless monitoring programmes, our home security rankings include those gold-standard brands that offer genuine value for money.

Each reviewer tests and tries the service to assess the brand on several variables, from cost to customer support, experience to ease of use, and availability vs accuracy.
