Instead of using the wires in your walls, a wireless system sends signals with radio chips, cellular chips and other wireless technologies. The best wireless home security is <em>more effective than hardwired security<\/em>. One obvious benefit: Criminals can\u2019t snip wires to stop alerts!<\/p>\n<p>Some other benefits of wireless home security are <strong>text alerts and mobile apps<\/strong>, compatibility with <strong>virtual personal assistants<\/strong> (Alexa and Google), and the ability to <strong>update your system anytime<\/strong>. Even if a professional installs the original equipment, you can personally add gadgets that further enhance safety, save energy and automate your home. No drilling\/cutting is needed to install wireless cameras, glass break sensors, remote-controlled thermostats, smart outlets and more.<\/p>\n<p>Below we review the <strong>best wireless home security systems<\/strong> with <em>do-it-yourself <\/em>or <em>professional <\/em>setup. The\u00a0 providers are Abode, ADT, Frontpoint, SimpliSafe and Vivint.<\/p>\n<h2>Comparing\u00a0 Wireless Home Security Systems<\/h2>\n<p>As you compare wireless home security companies, here are five main factors to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Installation<\/strong> &#8211; Who will set up the equipment? Companies like Abode, SimpliSafe and Frontpoint sell equipment for DIY setup. You can receive equipment in the mail, and setup typically takes a few minutes to an hour. On the other hand, ADT and Vivint have pro installation; they send someone to your home. Sometimes there is an installation charge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paid Professional Monitoring<\/strong> &#8211; Does the security company require paid monitoring (a connection to emergency operators)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some home security systems won\u2019t function at all without paid monitoring. Others have functional sirens and entry chimes, and they might be capable of sending free text alerts\u2026 but if you\u2019re on an airplane or otherwise unreachable, will anyone call 911?<\/p>\n<p>Professional monitoring works as backup to your security system\u2019s siren; someone calls for help on your behalf. This service can be as cheap as $100\/year, though many companies charge upwards of $35\/month for premium service.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Home security companies such as ADT and Frontpoint require a year or more of paid pro monitoring.<\/li>\n<li>Companies like Abode and SimpliSafe are contract-free with optional short-term and long-term plans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Equipment Cost <\/strong>&#8211; With some companies, like SimpliSafe, you pay for all the equipment upfront. You can start for about $200 or less for essential equipment, and paid monitoring isn\u2019t required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With other companies, like ADT, you pay a small amount upfront. The system is valued at more than $200 though, and further payment is built into a monthly monitoring bill. Essentially you lease to own a wireless security system.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mobile Control<\/strong> &#8211; The best wireless home security systems have free mobile apps. These let you watch video clips, pan your cameras, talk with visitors, adjust lights, check your locks and more. A mobile app can also send you alerts about system activity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home Automation<\/strong> &#8211; To different degrees, each company below has security systems that can control lamps, thermostats, TVs and other devices besides typical security sensors. Also to different degrees, all five companies are compatible with virtual personal assistants. Enjoy the convenience of just speaking to control your home! Arm your security system, set the lights for movie night, search Netflix and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read on to compare our five favorites in wireless home security.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Wireless Security with DIY Install &#8211; Frontpoint<\/h2>\n<p>Combines do-it-yourself installation with professional monitoring of alerts<\/p>\n<p><strong>Frontpoint<\/strong> is a top choice for wireless home security with <em>DIY installation<\/em> followed by <em>pro monitoring<\/em>. It\u2019s a best recommendation in terms of high-quality equipment, straightforward contracts and great customer service. Compatible with Google Home and Alexa too, a Frontpoint system can be an all-in-one solution to guard against intruders, monitor for environmental threats, and automate your home.
