Home Security Systems

A local Winston-Salem run website, ASecureLife.com, has rated the top security system providers. You can read their article on the best home security systems for details. Here are the top 3:

Winner: Frontpoint Security

FrontPoint (888-268-6273) wins for their stellar customer service and quality product. They offer a security system that is based on both wireless and cellular connections, so you don't need to worry about thieves cutting phone lines or a power failure interrupting service.

2nd Place: Protect America

Protect America (888-255-7812) is another great alarm option. With straightforward pricing, they offer a DIY system that can be customized to your needs. Their monitoring is conducted by Criticom (a respected monitoring station in the industry).

3rd Place: ADT

ADT (Authorized Dealer) (888-672-3017) takes third place. They are the largest of the three alarm companies, but are a good option for those looking for professional installation service, as they don't offer a DIY system at this time. ADT security systems are installed by local authorized dealers, so your experience may vary depending on your location.

Schools
