The best type of system is a wireless system that requires self-installation rather than professional installation. You can thus save some money doing this. It includes a number of different alarms that are placed strategically throughout the entrances of the home. If activated, sirens are triggered; however, the system dials several pre-programmed phone numbers, which could be your work phone, your mobile phone, or a close family member or friend, who can then decide to notify the police department or not. This way, you can avoid having a false alarm and paying the hefty sum in fees. Also, the responsibility of the break-in falls on you, as it should, rather than neighbors. Lastly, this system does not have any monthly monitoring fees, so it is also cheaper. It makes the most sense given the control you have over your own home. It is the most affordable as well. However, many households look for different features in their home security needs and other systems and alarms may very well fit your family's security needs as well.
