Below are 3 things to consider when choosing a security system:

Type of Property
If you’re a renter, you should probably choose a wireless system that you can install yourself so you own the equipment and can easily move it from one location to the next. Life Shield, for example, has a package specifically tailored to renters.
If you’re a homeowner, you can install pretty much any security system you want, depending on your needs and budget. However, because you own your home, you might want to look into a landline system with a cell uplink backup, covering all eventualities and delivering total protection. Source: SafeWise

Price
The price of the security system runs hand-in-hand with the quality received. The pricing structure should actually be broken down into three separate components – the upfront cost, installation cost, and any ongoing fees. Source: DiscountSecurityCameras

System Controls
Your ability to access and control your system is vital to choosing the right one for your home. Traditional security systems use a simple keypad to enable and disable the alarm, but with today’s technology, you can now have access from your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Source: CSPAlarms
