How hiring through Hire Best Pros works
- Tell Hire Best Pros what you need, in plain language.
- We help determine which type of professional handles it.
- The next step is either a call or a short request form.
- Nothing happens until you choose to continue.
Start with what you want to protect
- Entry doors, ground floor windows and a garage entry
- Cameras covering the driveway, porch and back of the property
- Monitoring that can dispatch when nobody is home
- An intercom or access system for a gate or multi-unit building
Monitored or self-monitored
A self-monitored system sends alerts to your phone and costs less to run. A professionally monitored system routes alarms to a center that can call you and dispatch. Decide which you want before you compare prices, because the equipment and contract follow from it.
Questions worth asking every installer
- Do I own the equipment or lease it
- How long does any monitoring agreement run
- What happens to the system if I move
- Is the system wired, wireless or a mix

Frequently asked questions
Do I need professional monitoring?
Not always. Monitoring matters most if the property is often empty, if you want an alarm to trigger a dispatch rather than a phone alert, or if your insurer offers a discount for it. For many households, camera and sensor alerts on a phone are enough.
Can a security system be installed in a rental?
Often yes, but check your lease first. Wireless equipment that does not require drilling is usually acceptable, while wired panels, door strikes and exterior cameras typically need the owner's permission.
Will a security system lower my home insurance?
Some insurers offer a discount for monitored alarm systems. Ask your insurer what they recognize before choosing a system, since the requirements vary by company and policy.
