Cost Considerations
Professionally monitored systems run approximately $1,500 for a 2,200 square foot home. Monitoring fees cost around $500 per year. Wireless systems are generally less expensive since they can be installed without a professional. A low-end wireless system may only cost around $20, but the best systems can run $500 and up.
Costs vary greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
