Self monitoring is fairly easy because many wireless home security systems come with a mobile app that enables you to access, monitor, and control your system using that app. However, the monitoring burden is entirely up to you. With professional monitoring, you will have a trained representative on standby 24/7 monitoring your home and can respond immediately if suspicious activity is detected. And, going with a monitored alarm could get you a larger discount on your homeowner’s insurance. Additionally, the self monitoring option is usually free of charge, whereas professional monitoring generally comes with an associated monthly fee. So it’s really a personal choice as to which route you want to go.
