Best affordable security system?

Simplisafe and Ring are the top DIY systems people go for these days.

First off, congrats on the new house! Sorry about the rough start, but I get your concern. I had a similar experience and ended up investing in a great security kit that was affordable and easy to install. It gave me peace of mind, and I didn’t need any professional help, which saved a lot.

I have a Ring system at one of my houses, and I really don’t like it.

Could you share more about why you don’t like it? I’ve been considering Ring myself.

It constantly detects motion when there’s none. The cameras alert me multiple times an hour, and the backyard floodlight camera goes off whenever a bug flies by. The only thing that works well is the doorbell cam. Monitoring is cheap, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

That sounds super frustrating. Thanks for the heads-up!

Maybe you need a priest instead of a security system!
