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

Ask for their state license number where one is required, proof of insurance, and a written, itemized quote. Ask who owns the recorded footage and who can access it, whether monitoring is required or optional, the contract length and cancellation terms, and what the workmanship warranty covers. Clear answers in writing separate a solid installer from a risky one.
