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

Confirm the company is licensed where your state requires it, carries insurance, and will put an itemized quote in writing. Read independent reviews, ask who owns and can access the footage, and check whether monitoring is optional or locked to a contract. Compare two or three quotes before you decide, and avoid pressure to sign on the spot.
