Is a cheap home security system really sufficient to prevent a burglary at my apartment?

Q. I don't want NO monitoring fees, AND NO Install fees. I want a DIY alarm, but I don't want the lowes or walmart or home depot home security system. I just want a cheap home security system. Are they really effective?

A. It is said that we get what we pay for. Does this mean that when you buy a cheap home security system, you donât get the right protection you need? And on the same token, does a really high dollar home security system assure you that your home or apartment is already immune to burglary? While the expensive home security systems are nice, let us not disregard common sense when picking out a home security system. Remember, there is just no such thing as total security so no matter how much cash you spend for electronic security devices, the risk is still going to be there. What you should do is to carefully select the security devices you actually need and get the best out of your budget. Several factors should go into your consideration with one main benefit is the DIY factor. You want at the least a DIY home security system that is easy to install. The rest of the story is in the source below.

How to choose home security cameras?
Q. I live in a town that many burglaries have happened lately. I would like to install home security cameras in my house. Does any of you know where I can find some information about this issue?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you.

A. Hi,

I had the same problem in my area and was looking for some information about home security cameras. I found a great website which gives tons of information about various types of home security cameras and helped me a lot to buy what I was really needed. The website is http://homesecuritycamerasinfo.com/. This website will give you all the information you need and will help you to find the home security system that you need.

What home security system should we get?
Q. My wife and I are thinking about getting a home security system. We live in the Los Angeles area. Any thoughts or suggestions?

A. This is a pretty general question and is really influenced by what your looking for. Security systems range from the ghetto ones you install yourself that just make noise, to really high tech equipment. Most people tend to settle for a home security system that is sold by a dealer that is installed by a trained technician, and is actively monitored by a company and can link up with the police. I'm not sure which dealers would be selling around there if any, but a little research should be able to tell you that much. After that it's just a matter of finding out how much you want to pay, because the standard monthly monitoring rate varies from about $35 to $49.99. Typically two-way systems which communicate trough the landline are cheapest, while cell primary systems which communicate through a cell unit attached to the system cost more. Don't get fooled into paying any activation fee's though, and fight to get at least 6 points of equipment. Motion sensors, glassbreak sensors, and smokes are worth 2 each, while door/window sensors, and keyfobs are worth 1. That way the sales rep won't be ripping you off. Just be sure to READ the contract they'll make you sign, because they won't tell you the whole truth.
