You are spending a considerable sum of money to get a home alarm security system in place, you need a company that produces reputable products and warranties them for a period of time. If the company is a fly-by-night company the warranty you get will be unenforceable and you may have to repurchase a new system if something goes wrong.

While your company may have the best system for you today, your needs may change and technology changes may provide new choices in the future. You want to be able to add features created by other companies to your system, which will be impossible if the entire system is proprietary and will not function with other manufactures products.
The third factor in choosing a home alarm security company is can the systems be monitored by all monitoring companies and/or monitored by the homeowner. While you may not currently choose to have monitoring by a system, you do want to be sure that the option is there in the eventuality that you change you mind at a later date.
The fourth and final factor is, does the home alarm security company have a range of products to customize your basic system. No one's homes are exactly alike because each home has different security needs based on the people who live there. You want a home alarm security company that offers you a range of options and products to make the system best work for you.
