One of the main reasons to avoid cheap security systems is that they often have poor performance. Cheap systems may have low-quality cameras or sensors that are prone to false alarms or failures. This can lead to a false sense of security, as you may believe that your home or business is protected when it is not. In the event of an emergency, a cheap security system may not be able to provide the necessary protection.  

Another reason to invest in a quality security system is that it can save you money in the long run. Cheap systems may require frequent repairs or replacement, which can add up over time. On the other hand, a high-quality security system may have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance, ultimately saving you money in the long run. 

It may also be tempting to buy only a part of a larger security system to save money, such as external cameras. While this visible aspect of a connected system may deter burglaries, you are still vulnerable on other fronts without the complete system. A comprehensive system works together to secure all entry points and potential safety threats inside and outside your home. Without proper monitoring and protection, your system will eat at your wallet while providing ineffective protection. Learn more about our 24/7 monitoring here.
