If you’re looking for an affordable way to deter burglars and make sure your home is safe while you’re away, a home alarm system could be the perfect solution. But, with so many different types and models to choose from, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you.
Here are some of the most common home security systems and their prices.
A basic keypad and door contact cost between PS15 and PS25. PIR sensors (which detect motion using infrared) are also available and can be fitted anywhere in your house to alert you when a potential intruder is approaching.
Smart Burglar Alarms Essex alarms are the most advanced systems on the market and cost between PS420 and PS920. They typically include a video doorbell and one or two internal cameras that you can monitor via a mobile app.
DIY: Self-installable systems like SimpliSafe UK or Ring are a doddle to install and come with wall-safe sticky pads that allow you to mount them on the walls. If you decide to call a professional to install your smart alarm system, the price will rise another PS210 on average.
Monitoring: Monthly fees are usually the biggest drawback to monitored security, with the monthly fee adding up to a significant chunk of the cost of your first year’s installation. If you’re not a fan of paying these costs, opt for a dialler alarm that allows you to nominate someone or yourself to receive an alert when it is triggered.
