Top 5 Security Systems in the United States

ADT

• According to galttech.com, ADT, which stands for American District Telegraph, is the most widely recognized security system company in the business. The company offers a variety of security systems and packages that range from your basic door and window alarm kit, to around the clock system monitoring and on call service. While you can pay for ADT professional installation, do-it-yourselfers can save money by simply purchasing the desired security system kit.

Protect America

• Protect America provides consumers with five different home security system services, all of which are wireless (which means no running wires through walls). Like ADT, Protect America also offers a plan with 24-hour monitoring. According to topconsumerreviews.com, all of the company’s plans come with a basic package that includes window decals, a yard sign, a door chime and internal siren, a backup battery, one button arming, a talking control panel and a lifetime warranty.

Brinks

• Perhaps best known for its armored bank cars, Brinks also makes some of the best home security systems in the country. According to topconsumereviews.com, Brink’s premium security plan comes with decals, a yard sign, three sensors, a motion detector, an interior siren, a control panel and a keypad. However, according to the above source, Brinks is one of the priciest systems on the market, and requires hardwiring (running wires through walls).

Guardian

• According to besthomesecurityreviews.com, Guardian makes some of the most dependable and affordable home security systems available. While offering a variety of different plans, one of Guardian’s most popular is the Wireless Allegro plan, which comes with a 24-hour reserve battery, two door/window contacts, a siren, a motion sensor that does respond to pets, an LCD keypad and a keychain remote. Another popular Guardian product, according to the above source, is its exterior Floodcam, which activates a floodlight once intruders are detected.

Ingrid

• While not as well known as some of the other companies, according to consumerreviews.com, Ingrid Home Security provides quality, hassle-free security systems at decent prices. The basic package includes a keychain remote, dual keypads and eight sensors for various entry points. According to the above source, Ingrid also offers wireless options, and one of its greatest features is that you are not required to enter in to a multiyear contract.
