Improved safety can reduce the number of claims filed on your policy from Stewart Agency Inc. This blog will discuss self-installed security systems and other intelligent features that cost less than $50.

Essential Security Systems: Cameras

Many high-quality doorbell video cameras are priced below $50. Multiple brands offer user-friendly cameras with smartphone app controls, costing between $35 and $45. They are accompanied by self-installation instructions, eliminating the need for professional installers.

Yard cameras are even more cost-effective. Depending on the brand, a single camera costs between $15 and $45. Some packages even offer up to four cameras for around $60. These systems, too, come with self-installation guides and mobile apps.

Security System Essentials: Sensors

Packages of four to six window and door sensors are generally priced around $15. These simple-to-install devices trigger an alarm when someone opens a window or door from outside. Since many security camera manufacturers also produce sensors, you can build a custom system, buying one economical element at a time.

Smart Home Essentials

With smart outlets, every home can become a smart home. These devices, which cost between $7 and $45, are available as single pieces or in multi-packs. Just plug the outlet adapter into any standard US electrical outlet, turn it on, install the manufacturer’s app on your mobile device, and complete the setup procedure. Afterward, you can control the device with home assistant systems like Google Assistant or Alexa.
