About Home Security Cost Guide

Home Security Cost Guide publishes 11 price guides for home security in the United States: alarm systems and monitoring plans, security cameras, video doorbells, locks and locksmith services.

Each guide gives a typical price range, explains what pushes the cost up or down, and lists the published sources the numbers come from. Company plan prices change often and promotions are common, so check the provider before you buy.

We do not sell security products and do not take payment from providers or contractors to appear in guides. Local pro links point to a separate business directory.
