A home security system typically includes a control panel, keypad, motion detectors, contact sensors for doors and windows, a siren or alarm, and a back-up battery. The cost of a home security system varies depending on the features included. For example, a system with door and window sensors may be less expensive than one with motion detectors.
The components of a home security system can vary depending on the type of system you choose, but in general they include: a control panel, motion detectors, contact sensors (for doors and windows), glass-break detectors, smoke detectors, and a siren. Many systems also offer additional features such as remote monitoring or arming/disarming via smartphone app. Costs for a home security system can vary widely depending on the features you choose, but generally start at around $200-$300 for a basic system. Higher-end systems with more features can cost up to $1,000 or more.
