Why SimpliSafe:
With SimpliSafe, there are no monthly fees, installation costs, or long-term contracts required. Buy your equipment upfront starting at $250 and self-monitor your system for free with a 60-day money-back guarantee. Optional professional monitoring starts at $22.99 per month.
Why ADT:
ADT Self Setup makes it easy to manage your entire security system from the ADT+ app. You don’t need to pay a monthly fee to arm/disarm your system, respond to alerts, or watch the live feed from Google Nest security cameras and video doorbells.
Why Abode:
abode is one of the few systems that offers integrations with all major smart home ecosystems — including Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home — in their free plan. Basic packages start at just $130, making it affordable both upfront and long-term.
If you’re buying a security system, security professionals and experts like ourselves typically recommend professional monitoring. That way, you can be confident that you’re protected no matter when a break-in takes place. That being said, we understand that some homeowners have budget constraints. We also know that having a no-monthly-fee security system is better than not having a security system at all.
After hands-on testing of more than a dozen security systems with no monthly fee, we recommend SimpliSafe, ADT Self Setup, Abode, Ring Alarm, and Arlo. We'll walk you through our real-world experience with each one so you can find the best fit for your home and budget. Let's dig in.
From Anthony Travaglia, Retired Police Officer, Home Security Expert
Trustworthy home security system reviews have two essential components – first-hand and unbiased information from a team of reputable security professionals. We have both. We buy the components we test ourselves and use them in our homes. We evaluate everything thoroughly, from apps to door sensors to cameras and smoke detectors. That way, we can give you a full 360-degree look at the security systems we recommend.
It’s important to compare apples to apples. So we make sure to install all of our test units in the same environment – in this case, a two-story, 2,200-square-foot home owned by one of our security experts. We believe that testing security systems in a real home yields the most accurate results.
We also try to buy the same components from each brand we’re testing (cameras, sensors, etc.) and set those up in the same locations. You can see below where we typically install each piece of equipment we buy:
We also used our industry expertise to decide which features are most important to no-monthly-fee security systems. These features and factors should be top-priority:
We compared our top picks based on those criteria, and here’s our verdict.
Ranking the Best Security Systems Without Monthly Fees
We are a team of home security and safety experts. Unlike most other review sites, we spend all our time testing and reviewing security and safety-related products only – you won’t find smartphone and mattress reviews on our website. Safety and security are on our minds 24/7. Our security experts include:
Combined, we are the most experienced home security team on the internet, hands down. We started SafeHome.org back in 2016, and since then our work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNBC, and other major outlets. Collectively, we have:
Rest assured, our recommendations are always based on hands-on product experience and a deep knowledge of the home security industry and the brands we cover. So keep reading to find the best no monthly fee security system for your home and budget.
SimpliSafe consistently ranks among the top home security systems for good reason. It offers flexible professional monitoring options as well as a useful free self-monitoring plan. With no subscription required, you still get real-time push notifications and around-the-clock access to live camera feeds in the mobile app. When you do want professional monitoring, SimpliSafe's paid plans are completely contract-free. Need coverage just for the month you're traveling? No problem. It’s easy to switch between paid and free plans anytime without penalties or fees.
SimpliSafe remains one of the more budget-friendly options on the market — and not just because of its no-monthly-fee self-monitoring plan. Equipment packages start at around $250, with prices dropping significantly during sales events. We’ve seen discounts of up to 70 percent off, which puts even the larger, more robust packages within reach for most homeowners.
SimpliSafe equipment
SimpliSafe’s camera line includes an outdoor camera that is one of the best-equipped outdoor cameras on the market, with HD video, night vision, 10x zoom, and available Active Guard protection. Add a wireless indoor camera with two-way audio and a video doorbell with smart sensors and no one is getting by your perimeter.
Of course, three cameras isn’t a lot of options, particularly when you compare it to the dozens of different models Lorex offers. If all of those cameras are top-notch quality with industry-leading features, though, maybe you don’t need a lot of choices.
Did You Know? SimpliSafe’s cameras do not support local storage for recordings. If you want to save video clips, you’ll need to subscribe to their monitoring plan with camera recording. It costs $9.99 per month and provides 30 days of cloud storage for unlimited clips from up to 10 cameras.
No monthly fees always mean self-monitoring your system. SimpliSafe’s no-fee plan includes instant alerts, live-streamed camera footage, and app access. We tried it out, and without video recording, we had to check camera livestreams immediately after receiving an alert. Fortunately, we could arm our system remotely through the app.
Recording videos requires SimpliSafe’s cloud storage plan, which costs $9.99 per month. Alternatively, you can opt for the Core monitoring plan, which bundles cloud storage with 24/7 professional monitoring for $32.99 per month, or step up to the Pro plan at $49.99 per month for live agent Active Guard protection during emergencies. Since SimpliSafe never requires contracts, you can freely change your plan as needed.
FYI: It’s easy to switch SimpliSafe monitoring plans. We went on vacation in the middle of testing the system and didn’t feel like dealing with alerts while we were lounging at the swim-up bar. So we tried the Fast Protect plan for a month. When we got back relaxed and refreshed, we switched back to the free self-monitoring plan.
SimpliSafe systems give you maximum control over your home security. First, you get a choice between eight packages, more than any other on this list. Installation is completely DIY, but you can opt for professional installation. You can even move the system to a different house if you move.
Testing out SimpliSafe’s keypad.
Simplisafe gave us control over our monitoring, too. Since we were putting this list together, we went with true DIY self-monitoring. No monthly fees, but we were still in charge of our entire system. We got real-time alerts when the outdoor camera noticed someone lurking on our lawn and pulled up live footage from our Wireless Indoor Camera. Turns out it was just a neighborhood kid whose bike had gotten a little off course, but at least we knew what was happening.
The nice thing about SimpliSafe is that the company lets you add monitoring features when you need them. Heading out of town for a business trip? For $22.99 per month, you can have your home professionally monitored on the Standard Monitoring plan. Since there are no long-term contracts, you can cancel it once you’re back home.
But SimpliSafe isn’t perfect. On our SimpliSafe wish list are free video storage options. If we could save video to a local storage device or to the cloud without fees, we’d truly have complete control over our system. For now, video storage requires a subscription. Although most monitoring plans include unlimited camera recordings, free is always better.

ADT Self Setup is the company’s DIY, contract-free alternative with optional professional monitoring. The good news is that ADT Self Setup includes access to the same high-quality equipment and ADT+ app. It’s the easiest way to manage your ADT system. Without professional monitoring, you won’t get access to some of ADT’s most advanced features like Trusted Neighbor, but you can set up custom alerts and access live video footage anytime.
Like SimpliSafe, ADT Self Setup offers a self-monitoring plan, but its equipment is more expensive. However, ADT’s devices are generally more advanced, especially the Google Nest security cameras. If you want to save some money, we recommend waiting for an ADT sale. We’ve seen discounts of up to 50 percent and free Nest Cams bundled into select starter packages — so it’s worth keeping an eye out before you buy.
ADT offers wired and wireless Nest Cams, but some of the features require a professional monitoring subscription.
When we compared SimpliSafe to ADT, we found that ADT has a broader range of equipment. ADT offers a choice between wired or wireless cameras and allows you to include multiple hazard monitors in your system.
Another standout feature is ADT’s home automation rules, which let you create timers and schedules for smart locks and thermostats in the ADT+ app. The cameras also support facial recognition, sending personalized alerts when a regular guest shows up at the door.
FYI: Home automation and facial recognition features are only available with an ADT professional monitoring subscription. They are available in the ADT+ app, and you can access them by switching monitoring plans.
ADT Self Setup offers a free self-monitoring tier. You get live camera access, custom alert configurations, and full use of the ADT+ app. The catch is there’s no cloud video storage, so if you get an alert, you’ll need to check the live feed in the moment to see what triggered it. That said, there are no long-term contracts, unlike ADT’s professionally installed systems. Upgrading to a paid monitoring plan is also easy if you decide you want more protection.
We could access the ADT+ with our self-monitoring plan, but not all the features were available.
Our ADT Self Setup experience wasn’t significantly different from that of the professionally installed systems. The equipment is identical, but we just had to set it up ourselves. We had some help from the ADT website, which includes guides and videos on how to install the devices correctly. Most of them stick or mount to surfaces, so it wasn’t too difficult. We had the option to schedule a video call with a technician if we got stuck.
Managing our system with ADT+ was also easy. During our ADT Self Setup testing, we simulated alarms to see how quickly the system responds. We received an instant notification every time the system was triggered. The notification took us directly to the app, and we could bring up video feeds from the home page. This is handy during the day, but it is harder to manage when you’re at work, on vacation, or sleeping. It’s why we often recommend signing up for ADT professional monitoring plans instead.
| Monitoring options | Professional or DIY |
|---|---|
| Installation | DIY |
| Smart platform integration | Alexa and Google Home |
| Equipment cost | Packages starting at $269 |
| Monthly monitoring cost | From $24.99 |
| Contract length | Monthly |
Abode keeps equipment costs competitive without cutting corners on quality or capability. In our testing, we found the functionality holds its own against premium providers like Vivint. The standout advantage is the smart home integration. Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit all work out of the box, even on the free self-monitoring plan. A paid plan unlocks extra features, but for most homeowners who just want a reliable no-monthly-fee setup, Abode's free tier covers the essentials comfortably.
Abode’s starter system begins at $130, and even the most fully loaded package stays under $600 — making it one of the more budget-friendly options in this category. For comparison, ADT packages start at $269, so Abode has a clear edge for cost-conscious shoppers.
Self-monitoring is completely free, which is a big deal if you’re comfortable managing alerts on your own. If you want cloud storage, Abode charges $8.49 per month on the Standard plan and covers an unlimited number of cameras — undercutting comparable plans from Ring or SimpliSafe.
For most people, though, we’d still recommend professional monitoring. Abode’s Pro plan runs $26.99 per month and includes 24/7 professional monitoring. Just note that Abode doesn’t offer video verification like SimpliSafe when weighing your options.
abode Equipment
Abode takes a unique approach to home security equipment packages. Most companies offer a single line of equipment. You pay more depending on how many devices you order. The equipment itself, though, is the same no matter how much you spend. Not so with abode. The company offers three lines of equipment. If you order abode’s best package, the Iota, you don’t just get more equipment. You get better equipment. The Iota includes a hub with a built-in HD camera and support for Z-wave technology.
Abode offers a compact camera lineup that works for both indoor and outdoor use. The Abode camera is rated IP65, meaning it stands up against rain, dust, and whatever else the elements throw at it. There’s also a wireless video doorbell available. Both devices work with smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Home, plus thousands of other compatible smart devices.
Pro Tip: Our favorite abode feature is the CUE automation platform. We’ve accumulated our share of smart devices over the years, so we connected them via the abode app. We don’t even turn off the lights when we go to bed anymore. WE set up a rule to do it for us.
Abode’s commitment to affordable home security extends to its no-monthly-fee self-monitoring option. You pay no money, but you still get all the tools you need to monitor your security, from real-time alerts to live video footage through the abode app.
While abode’s free self-monitoring option is fairly comprehensive, we still recommend a subscription for cloud storage and professional monitoring when you can afford it. That’s why we like abode’s no commitment approach allowing you to switch to a paid plan anytime you want, even if it’s just for a month.
>> Compare: abode vs. SimpliSafe
You simply won’t find any self-monitored, no-monthly-fee systems that offer the kinds of smart features abode does. The truth is that abode offers a lot of the same smart home integrations you’ll only get with more expensive systems like ADT and Vivint. Heck, those two don’t work with Apple HomeKit like abode does. And with Z-Wave technology, you can connect to literally thousands of smart home products or take advantage of IFTTT functionality.
Abode Cam 2
We connected our abode app to our cell phone’s morning alarm system so motion detection shut off when we got up in the morning. Just for good measure, we also connected the toaster. We put a couple of bagels in before bed, and they were ready for cream cheese by the time we got out of the shower.
>> More Options: Best Security Systems for Apple
Some of the best smart functions require a paid subscription. Abode’s Standard plan starts at $8.49 per month and unlocks CUE home automation rules, along with priority support. However, full smart home integrations — including Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home — are available for free, unlike with most competing systems. That’s a big part of why abode earns its spot on our list of the best self-monitored systems
How many times do we need to say it? No system is perfect, and abode does have its downsides. You get far more home automation features with abode than you get with, say, SimpliSafe. But abode doesn’t offer the same level of customer support as SimpliSafe. You don’t get access to live support at all unless you sign up for a monthly paid plan. And you may need that support. abode’s DIY installation isn’t quite as intuitive as SimpliSafe’s.
Pro Tip: The abode hub we tested (iota All-in-One) sounds like a dial-up modem with the amount of beeps it makes. We suggest jumping into your system settings and selecting mute all sounds. You can thank us later.

Unlike Abode and SimpliSafe, you don't have to commit to a full Ring security system right away. You can start with a single spotlight cam or one of its video doorbells and never buy another piece of equipment if that's all you need. When it comes to monitoring, self-monitoring is completely free, or you can add cloud storage and professional monitoring through a Ring Protect plan starting at $4.99 per month for a single device or $9.99 per month for unlimited devices (the Solo and Multi plan, respectively).
We like that Ring lets you set up your home security in ways that will suit your budget. They have options all the way from a standalone Indoor Camera that costs $49.99 up to premium packages for over $500.
Ring’s dedicated home security systems — called Ring Alarm — start at $199.99 and go up to $499.95. If you want Ring’s professional monitoring service (Ring Pro at $19.99 per month), you’ll need a Ring Alarm system. That said, there’s nothing stopping you from starting with a standalone camera or two and adding a Ring Alarm system down the road.
Pro Tip: Ring is owned by Amazon, so we managed to grab a bargain when the system was on special during the Prime Day sales. But keep your eye on their website as they have discounts and bonuses running all the time.
Ring Alarm (2nd Gen) Equipment
Ring’s real strength is its cameras. After all, this is a company that made its name by inventing the doorbell camera. The company offers a large selection, with models that come with unique features and functions. If you’re looking for a great indoor camera, for instance, you might dig further into our complete Ring Indoor Cam review. As we note there, this is a camera you can set up and forget about.
FYI: We watched videos on how to set up the equipment in the Ring app. They went for about two minutes each and took us through each step in the setup process.
If you’re looking for outdoor cameras, you’ll find even more options from Ring. There are models with two-way audio, models with floodlights and spotlights, wired models and wireless models. You can even get solar panels and save time and money dealing with batteries. Everything is rated to withstand the elements including rain, shine, and even blizzards. As we note in our full Ring camera review, whatever your security needs, there’s probably a Ring camera for you.
And while Ring may not be known for its other home security equipment – entry sensors, glass break monitors, and smoke detectors – the company offers everything you could need to set up a complete home security system. You can even purchase front door locks and smart thermostats.
Ring is another of those systems that gives you monitoring options. You can self-monitor for free, of course. Otherwise, why would Ring be on this page, right? And, of course, self-monitoring is entirely free if you forego cloud storage. Even with the free plan, you get real-time notifications any time motion triggers a detector or someone opens a door, and you can pull up live footage any time. In fact, we connected Ring to Alexa so we were able to pull up video with just our voice.
Cloud storage costs extra – the Ring Solo plan at $4.99 per month covers one camera, while the Ring Multi plan at $9.99 per month covers an unlimited number of devices. For professional monitoring, 24/7 backup internet, extended warranties, and unlimited cloud storage for all Ring cameras, you’ll need the Ring Pro plan at $19.99 per month.
Ring began life as the Ring Video Doorbell company. It didn’t sell entry sensors, smoke detectors, or offer professional monitoring. It didn’t even sell other cameras. Nowadays, Ring offers all of those things and more. They didn’t abandon that earlier approach and still offer free self-monitoring.
Ring Alarm sensors
The Ring app makes it easy to self-monitor. During our tests, we had complete control over all the system’s most important features through the intuitive app. When the neighborhood Girl Scouts were out selling cookies, our Ring doorbell let us know the moment they stepped on our front porch. Two-way audio let us order our Thin Mints, and they never even knew we were out to lunch with friends the whole time.
We sometimes think Ring is a little too DIY-centered. This is not a company that’s going to help you out if you’re having trouble deciding what equipment you need. Installation is mostly DIY as well. Ring will track down a local installer if you really need one, but you can do it easily yourself. And customer service is a bit … corporate. If you want no monthly fees, though, you’re probably a do-it-yourselfer anyway, so all of that may be right up your alley.

Arlo remains a top contender in the home security camera space and has expanded into full DIY security system packages as well. Their camera lineup, featuring AI-powered motion detection, color night vision, and optional cellular connectivity, sits at the high end of what's available for self-monitored setups. Best of all, you can keep tabs on your home through Arlo without paying a monthly fee, which makes it a smart pick for homeowners who want premium hardware without the subscription overhead.
While Arlo has expanded into full security systems, their primary focus remains on their industry-leading security cameras. This focus is reflected in their competitive pricing structure. Security system starter kits begin at $199.99, which is in line with other DIY options on the market, while individual cameras start at under $40. That makes their camera pricing competitive with Ring.
Pro Tip: Arlo’s 2K and 4K cameras require robust Wi-Fi to perform optimally. Before investing in high-resolution models, ensure your internet connection can support them. We recommend a minimum upload speed of two to five Mbps per camera for smooth streaming.
By this point, you know the drill – self-monitoring with Arlo is free. Cloud storage starts at $7.99 a month for one camera or $17.99 a month for unlimited cameras. That’s a bit steeper than Ring, but it includes all of Arlo’s camera features including package detection, person recognition, and audio detection. We found audio detection especially handy: it sent us an alert when it heard our fire alarm going off while we were out. Thankfully, we only burnt dinner. Professional monitoring is available starting at $24.99 a month.
Arlo Pro 4: What’s in the box?
Arlo’s approach to home security systems uses an All-In-One Sensor. It combines the functionaly of motion detectors, smoke and CO sensors, entry detectors, and environmental monitoring. While versatile on paper, the reality is that each sensor can only perform one primary function at a time, limiting its real-world capabilities. This is why we primarily recommend Arlo for their security cameras rather than their full security system.
All Arlo equipment connects to their intuitive mobile app, providing free access to live footage and motion alerts. Cloud storage subscriptions start at $7.99 per month for one camera or $17.99 per month for unlimited cameras on an annual plan. Both plans unlock Arlo’s smart features including advanced object detection and activity zones. Professional monitoring requires an Arlo security system (not just cameras) and starts at $24.99 per month with an annual plan.
Arlo has always made great cameras at affordable prices. Even budget-friendly options like the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera at $39.99 include a 130-degree field of view, while premium models reach 180 degrees. We installed an Arlo Ultra with 4K resolution and were astounded. We could make out the return address label on the package that was delivered while we were at work. Turns out, it was a box with dog toys. Because of Arlo, we were able to text our neighbor from work and let them know their dog toys arrived. We’re sure Fido was pleased.
We’ll confess, we were a little skeptical of Arlo’s multi-purpose sensors. One sensor to handle eight different functions? Turns out, they do just that. You have to designate what exactly you want a particular sensor to do, and you can’t use one sensor to do multiple jobs at the same time. Our motion sensor couldn’t detect flooding water. We had to set up another sensor for that. Still, pretty impressive, and a nice aesthetic approach as well, since every sensor in our system matched perfectly with the others.
FYI: We make sure anyone approaching our home can see our security cameras, even at night. The Alarm Industry Research and Education Foundation revealed that 60 percent of convicted burglars said the presence of a security system would cause them to seek another target.1
The Arlo Pro 4
You should know that you’ll give up some Arlo features if you decide to self-monitor your system. A paid plan is required for their advanced features like person and package detection. Google Home and Alexa integration? You’ve got to sign up and pay a monthly fee.
Not paying monthly fees has a lot of advantages, but you have to do all your own monitoring and you don’t usually get a lot of extra tools to help you do that. In the end, that old adage turns out to be true more often than not: you get what you pay for.
>> Compare: Arlo vs. Ring
| Connectivity | Wi-fi, Ethernet |

You’re into self-monitoring; otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading this. So it makes sense that you might want to do a little home security system research for yourself. Here’s what we might suggest you look for during your search.
The first step is identifying systems that truly offer no-monthly-fee security. Plenty of systems out there require you to sign up for paid professional monitoring — Brinks and Vivint, for instance. You want to avoid those brands.
That said, eliminating monthly fees shouldn't mean compromising your safety. A DIY system should be straightforward for you to operate. It should also have a few minimum features to help you police your own property such as:
Of course, you want all the other aspects of your system to be top tier as well. There’s no reason to have a home security system if it’s not going to do its job. So, as we’ve talked about here, you also want to consider:
If you’re starting to question whether a home security system is worth the money, we suggest reading some studies. Some of the data that surprised us included:
Once you’ve got a list of systems that meet all these criteria, you can start comparing features, like how much home automation a particular system offers and whether or not you get a cool key fob and yard signs when you sign up. The main thing is that you and your family are protected. And, if you’ve looked carefully at price, equipment, monitoring, alerts, video feeds, and system control options, you will be protected.
We’ve mentioned it a couple of times already: If you’re looking for a home security system with no monthly fees, you’re going to need to monitor it yourself. Companies don’t give professional monitoring away for free. Of course, having no monthly fees is going to save you money over the long haul (maybe a lot of money). You'll handle the setup and monitoring yourself to keep your home and family safe. Here's what that involves.
Keep in mind that self-monitoring means you're responsible for checking alerts whenever they come through — including those 2:00 a.m. notifications. Whether you're at the dentist, watching a movie, or out for a run, you need to stay on top of it. It helps to have a trusted backup person who can keep an eye on your system when you're unavailable or unreachable.
From Anthony Travaglia, Retired Police Officer, Home Security Expert
There’s something to be said for no-monthly fee security systems. There’s the saving money bit, and maybe that’s the best part, but there’s also the don’t-have-to-worry-about-your-system bit as well. You don’t have to keep up with bills, or worry about automatic debits when you’re short on cash. And you don’t have to worry about pushy customer service agents trying to upsell you on new products and improvements when they contact you about your bills.
If you’ve learned anything reading through this guide, let it be this. There are affordable systems, and then there are cheap systems. Just because a home security package comes with a low sticker price doesn’t mean it’s going to protect you. For that, you have to do your research. You have to know what you’re getting and you have to think about value rather than just the bottom line. Or, you can trust us to do that for you.
Our top-rated no-monthly-fee home security systems are SimpliSafe, ADT Self Setup, Abode, Ring, and Arlo, each offering self-monitoring features and flexible equipment options to fit a range of home security needs.
Most no-monthly-fee security systems don't include free cloud video recording. While many offer live video viewing at no cost, continuous recording or cloud storage typically requires a paid subscription plan.
Security systems without monthly fees typically don't include professional monitoring by default. However, many companies offer professional monitoring as an optional add-on service for those who want 24/7 protection. This upgrade from free self-monitoring varies in price depending on the provider.
The cost of a no-monthly-fee security system depends entirely on the equipment you purchase. A single security camera typically costs between $30 and $250, while a complete DIY home security system package can range from around $200 to $700 or more, depending on the brand and number of components included.
Yes, in many cases, you can, but it depends on the insurance company. Many offer a discount no matter what type of home security system you have. The discount may be higher if you subscribe to a professional monitoring service. Check with your insurance company for guidelines.
