The next step would be to decide what other features and options you want with your home security system. Do you fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide monitoring? Do you need surveillance cameras? What about the ability to switch the system on and off via the internet and to monitor your home via an internet security camera? If you have an existing home you will most likely choose a wireless security system because of the difficulty and expense of running wires. If you are building a new home it is easy to pre-wire for a security system and a wired system is more reliable in that you do not have to keep replacing batteries in the door and window sensors.

Making a list of things that are important for your home security system to protect is a good first step. Then begin to narrow the choices on types of security systems and features that will fit your budget.
