Home Security Cameras

It is getting easier to compare home security systems for consumers. LocalPrice, a website that allows users to compare prices for everyday local services,  has now introduced an online comparison shopping feature for home security monitoring in every major U.S. city.

LocalPrice may be changing the way consumers find and shop for local services. Consumers have for the longest time taken advantage of the web to find the best prices and information on products like clothing, vehicles and electronics. However, when it comes to locally provided services like home security monitoring, they’re still stuck shopping the old-fashioned way, by using the telephone to call around.

“Currently, customers looking for home security systems can spend hours getting quotes before they can thoroughly compare providers,” explains Rob Shields, founder of LocalPrice. “With LocalPrice, they can now do this in seconds.’

The website, which is free to consumers and businesses who list, requires home security companies that list to provide complete pricing information and a detailed description of their home security offerings. “LocalPrice asks all the tough questions a very savvy consumer might ask,” says Shields. ‘We then publish the results online.’

LocalPrice also gives consumers the ability to find home security companies that best meets their needs, and not simply the lowest prices either. You can start with a list of companies, and from there you can quickly narrow things down by the criteria you select. This could be aspects such ast contract length, type of system, warranty coverage, whether a landline is required, optional features, and more.

Home Security Companies List For Free

LocalPrice offers free listings to businesses, which directly provide the information to the site. Businesses can then create, edit, and update their listings whenever they want by working through the site’s business center. Businesses that desire more visibility—and the accompanying increase in traffic –can become a sponsor to gain preferred placement on the site.

The response from home security companies has been very positive so far. Since introducing online enrollment earlier this month, the number of business listings in the Atlanta home security section has tripled.

“LocalPrice allows the customer to plainly view a wide range of prices and home security services in one place, offering multiple ways to find the right company. Clearly this is going to be big for businesses and customers alike,” notes James Birkbeck, Marketing Director for Smith Monitoring, a rapidly growing regional home security provider.
