Home Security According to Reddit

Most people don’t think too much about home security until an unexpected event – a robbery in the neighborhood for example – shakes them up. Then their first step is to visit the interwebs, and do some research on the topic. However, eventually every road leads to Reddit, as the modern saying goes. Reddit has its own dedicated home security and home automation topics, chock-full of user-submitted knowledge. The shared experience by userswho actually tried out some of the home security solutions prove to be much more convincing for those who are still knee-deep in their research (which is the reason why are we encourage user-submitted reviews here at Best Reviews). So let’s see what Reddit homeowners have to say about a solid defense!

Of course, most Reddittors didn’t discard the possibility of a good home security system, complete with a trustworthy lineup of alarms. The most frequent inquiries regard alarm quality, the response time of the monitoring center and whether or not existing alarms can be used with a new system. We found out that most Reddit posts were on the side of professional installation – despite the convenience of DIY – because those who are new to home security solutions won’t be able to place most alarms in optimal positions. SimpliSafe was a commonly debated name on the forums, with many arguing that they lack cameras and are outdated, while supporters mention the high quality and dependable service. When someone asked for advice on which home security system is the best, then Frontpoint Security and ADT were the most popular answers, although GetSafe, Protect America and even Scout appear quite often too.
