Cons
- Basic Home Security
Basic Home Security
The Premium system package is very basic and includes the bare essentials of home security. Most customers are likely to choose additional options for their system package, which will raise the cost of service.
However, keep in mind that this company guarantees a fixed rate so your monthly bill won't change unexpectedly.
We recommend waiting until Crime Prevention Security Systems is offering special package deals so you can lock-in a discounted price.
Ask a company representative for more information.
