LifeShield, Front Point, and other companies provide good wireless security that you can install yourself and don't cost a bundle. By using some basic common sense measures to protect yourself and your property, you can prevent danger from showing up at your door or window. Even if you are on a tight budget, you can take steps to ensure that you and your home are nearly as secure as the most fortified palaces. The Brilliant Control is a unique wall switch that uses Wi Fi to connect to and control various smart devices in your home. It has a 5 inch color touch screen with user friendly button controls that let you play music, control lighting, set thermostat temperatures, and see who is at your door, among other things. It works with many popular smart home platforms including Ecobee, Nest, Philips Hue, Ring, and Sonos, and it has built in Amazon Alexa voice support that allows it to do almost everything an Echo device can do. It's fairly pricey and requires wiring knowledge to install, but it's a smart addition to a high tech home. The iCamera Keep Pro from iSmartAlarm $199. 99 is a full featured home security camera that not only works as a standalone device, but can be incorporated into an iSmartAlarm DIY security system. The camera is full of useful features including a powerful 1080p image sensor, motion and sound detection, mechanical pan and tilt, time lapse and event triggered video recording, and a motion tracking feature that allows the camera to follow a person around the room. Throw in free cloud storage, an SD card slot for local storage, and support for IFTTT integration, and you've got a killer indoor security cam.

If you choose SimpliSafe, you also won’t have to worry about canceling a contract and paying a high fee if you move to an area where a service provider doesn’t operate this system. You have to buy the equipment upfront, but that means you own it, and it reduces the monitoring costs every month. That can make things easier for anyone who’s on a monthly budget and don’t want to spend a lot of money on monitoring. You can pay as little as $15 to $25 a month for SimpliSafe monitoring, depending on whether mobile access is important to you. That’s about half of what you would pay with some of the other best home security systems, and it can be well worth it for budget conscious people who still want a good system.
