When it comes to knowing home security products, you’ll undoubtedly want the best home security system within your price range. The good news is that there’s plenty of options to suit all budgets and properties.

But first, it’s worth getting to know the different types of home alarm systems on the market. In a nutshell, here’s a lowdown on the most popular three available:

1.    Alarm only

You could call this bells without whistles! If you just want a deterrent, activated by noise, then a home alarm system will ward off intruders with the loud noise it emits. This requires the keyholder to deactivate it once it’s set off, usually with a pin number or code. This is an entry-level style home alarm system, for those on a budget or requiring minimal home security.

2.    Monitored alarm

For next level protection, a monitored home alarm system delivers a robust response. This means that your home alarm is hooked up to your chosen emergency contact (often the Garda via a 24/7 call centre), alerting them anytime your alarm sensors are activated. As well as the cost of installation, there’s also ongoing costs for monitoring. However, if you are keen to get home security advice and support to best protect your assets, this is a very popular choice.

3.    Smart home security

The smart home system is the most comprehensive of all home security products. As well as being monitored by emergency contacts, it can be connected to your smartphone or tablet, allowing you to monitor your home at all times. Monthly subscription costs apply, along with installation, but it’s worth it for the best home security system on the market.

So there you have it – three great home security products, from entry level to comprehensive cover, to suit all your home protection needs.
