Finding the best home security system is important to many homeowners in Florida. In the United States, over 1 million burglaries leave homeowners and families feeling victimized every year. The good news is that you can combat criminals and protect your home with the right security system.
Understanding Your Security System Needs
Did you know that homes without a security system are over 300% more likely to be targeted by a burglar than those without a security system?
Yet, despite this jaw-dropping statistic, most homes do not invest the time or money to install an effective security system. Part of the reason is that people don’t really know what their security system needs are.
To find the best home security system for you, it helps to understand the different components of the system and how they might meet your needs.
Some things to consider when selecting a home security system may include:
- Your family’s routine
- The size of your home and property
- Your budget
- How you want the system installed
- What exactly you’re protecting
- Whether you want monitoring
As you can see, there are several things to consider when looking for a home security system.

Choosing The Right Type Of Security System
Once you’ve considered your family’s routine, your needs, and your property’s details, you can begin selecting the type of equipment you want to use and which kind of security system might be best.
The next decision you’ll make is whether you want a wired or wireless home security system. In Florida, many homes are equipped with wired security systems simply because they’ve been around longer and because of their reliability.
Wired systems rarely have service interruptions, and they’re not as susceptible to outside interference like hacking.
Still, not everyone chooses to go with a wired system because they tend to be a little more expensive than wireless. Plus, you’ll still need some kind of battery backup for your system to work during a power outage.
Wireless security systems have increased in popularity recently because of how easy they are to install and move to another home. You can also access these systems remotely, which many people enjoy.
