Is a home security system worth the investment?

If you have the right system and products in place, a home security system is definitely worth the investment. It’s hard to put a price on the security and peace of mind that come with home security. Install a system from Vivint, rest easy with:

  • Increased protection from home intrusion and theft.
  • Alerts about fires and the presence of carbon monoxide no matter where you are.
  • Professional home monitoring and support around the clock.
  • Quick access to medical assistance in an emergency.

Is home security necessary?

If you want home protected, a home security system is absolutely necessary—especially when it’s backed by 24/7 monitoring and support. 

You can’t always be home or awake to make sure home is safe and secure. But with a home security system coupled with 24/7 monitoring, you get the peace of mind that comes with knowing home is always covered by a team of professionals no matter where you are. They hear alarms; notify you of emergencies; and work with you when you’re away to ensure that when situations arise, the proper help is dispatched.

Learn more about the benefits of home security combined with monitoring services.

Can I install my own security system?

While DIY continues to increase in popularity, when it comes to installing a home security system we highly recommend avoiding the hassle and leaving it to the professionals.

The biggest benefit of professional installation? You know it will actually work. Wiring, placement, syncing devices, and everything else that installation involves can get pretty complicated, and it's important that everything works together without a hitch. Attempting to DIY a system can involve a lot of troubleshooting and hours on the phone with tech support. 

With Vivint, professional installation is included in your smart home package. Vivint Smart Home Pros know smart home tech and they provide valuable professional information when it comes to products and placement. For example, maybe you’re not sure where to place your outdoor camera for optimal viewing, or you aren’t sure how many carbon dioxide detectors you really need. Smart Home Pros have the answers. 

They’ll install everything and ensure your smart home devices integrate together seamlessly. And the job’s not done until they instruct you on how to use your system and take advantage of the various features and integrations available.

What should I look for when buying a security system?

If you’re shopping around for a home security system, we suggest a few must-haves to ensure you get the most safety and protection out of your setup.
 
You certainly want to protect home from break-ins with devices like alarms, motion detectors, and glass-break sensors. But intrusion isn’t the only threat to your home threat. A comprehensive smart home security system—like one from Vivint—keeps your home secure in multiple ways:

  • Get smart door locks that eliminate the need for keys and instead use a unique code to lock and unlock your door. 
  • You want smoke alarms that can sense heat before you smell smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to identify and protect you from this silent killer.
  • A 24/7 monitoring team that always keeps an eye on your home, alerting you and the first responders if an alarm is tripped or something is amiss. 
  • Security cameras that monitor your home inside and out, including a doorbell camera, are essential.

And that’s just for starters. Take our How Secure Is Your Home quiz to learn more on why you need a smart home security system.
