Free Home Security Matching · All 50 States Mon–Fri · 9am–7pm ET Not a security company, a free matching service Email Us

Security Help Guide is a free service that connects homeowners with local security companies and installers. We are not a security company, alarm dealer, or monitoring provider, and we do not sell, install, or monitor security systems.

The short answer

A no-monthly-fee system is self-monitored: sensors and cameras alert your phone, footage saves locally or on a free tier, and no monitoring bill applies. You handle the response yourself. It works well for attentive households that want alerts and evidence without a contract, but it will not dispatch help the way paid monitoring can.
