ADT Home Security has been around for over a century and is one of the most widely known alarm systems. ADT provides a money back service guarantee, a mover's security guarantee, and a theft protection guarantee. They have many monitoring offices that are fully staffed and use top-of-the-line equipment to ensure that security services are available around the clock. ADT also offers video surveillance equipment for in and around the home. Most of the basic systems are wireless, yet optional equipment may be hard wired. ADT is middle of the road when it comes to price. It is not cheap, but it is relatively inexpensive.
Brinks Home Security has recently merged with Broadview Security. Together they offer the most expensive security packages. However, they also offer quality burglar alarms, and smoke detectors that are easy to use. Brinks/Broadview remains one of the top security systems available.
Protect America offers quality service at a reasonable price. It charges very reasonable monitoring fees, and does not charge installation fees. Protect America offers five types of wireless security systems designed to fit the needs of each homeowner. Every security system is backed up by reliable monitoring and a lifetime warranty.
All security system companies have their strengths and weaknesses. The right home alarm package can be found at the right price through any of these three companies.
