Tip #1: Choose a top ranked security company. 

Be sure to choose a security company or authorized dealer that is nationally recognized as a industry leader.

Most top home security companies, such as ADT or Brinks, use authorized dealer networks to market and install their home security systems. After installation, home security dealers sign up customers to a monitoring agreement (typically 3 years). Some home security dealers service the contract themselves while others sell their contracts to corporate headquarters.

Advice: Deal with corporate headquarters directly. If you must choose an authorized security dealer, choose one of the top nationally recognized dealers such as APX Alarm or Defender Security.
