Inexpensive Home Security

Welcome to part one of our five part series about the SmartMoney Home Security Package. Over the course of this series we're going to look at the affordability, reliability, simplicity and expandability of the system. Finally we're going to compare the system to ADT and Protect America. So, lets dig right in!

The first question that comes to many people's minds when they consider home security is: How much will it cost? Now, I'll be the first to admit that this isn't the best factor on which to base your decision. However, people being people and the economy being what it is, its a big factor, if not the primary factor for the average homeowner.

So, what will it cost?

To start out it will cost you $78.95. That's $49 for the setup fee and the first month's payment of $29.95. Now, if you decide to add additional accessories, you'll pay for those as well. Then, its $29.95 per month for a contract length of 24 months. If you're just beginning your research, that may not seem like a big deal. But consider that the industry standard is a 3 to 5 year contract. When you do this, you realize that the SmartMoney package is just that: a smart way to use your money.

Stay tuned for further installments when we cover the other topics I mentioned above.
