Aside from that, Vivint has one of the highest rated security apps in the Apple and Google Play stores, so you can rest assured that it’s easy to use, even for someone not super tech savvy. Of course, Vivint offers 24/7
professional monitoring, so the senior in your life will always be protected. For your business, you’ll want a more established security company, and Protect
America fits the bill. They were founded in 1992 and are one of the leading names in home security. 24/7 professional monitoring comes with every Protect America system and ranges from $20 to $60 a month depending on your equipment and needs. Like Brinks, you’ll set up your Protect America system with someone over the phone who will test all of its components. Plus if you have any issues, customer support is great over live chat and admittedly, not so great over the phone. I would especially recommend Protect America to Android users, as the Android app has over three stars. At only $149, Minut is by far the most affordable security system I’ve reviewed. That probably has something to do with the fact that it’s only composed of one component. Rather than having different sensors for different purposes, the Point combines everything into one.

Or if you can, frequently test the components of your system and replace batteries regularly. Another disadvantage of a wireless
configuration is the risk of faulty installation. Even though you don’t need any formal training to set up this system, there’s always the risk that you did not do it properly. When you hire a service provider, you can make sure that everything will be done correctly. Also, DIY home security systems don’t
have the capability to connect to a professional monitoring service. This is a disadvantage when you’re out of town because emergency responders can’t be alerted when your alarm is tripped.
