Frontpoint offers discounts on upfront costs for those who opt to sign a longer contract, with a basic system costing about $200. This system includes a keypad, control panel, three door/window sensors, one motion sensor, one glass break sensor and a keychain. Camera systems with Frontpoint range from $600 to $975, depending on contract length. We like that Frontpoint’s DIY security system won’t cost you too much up front, and it comes with more features than most free home security systems. Even the most expensive system is less than $1,000 without a long contract, making it a relatively affordable option. It’s a great choice if you’re somewhat comfortable with technology and want to be able to take your system with you if you move.
