ProtectAmerica - Reviewed & Compared

Summary

Protect America offers monitored wireless security systems that are fully featured, yet offer the cost savings of a DIY approach. They also offer one of the lowest monitoring rates we’ve seen on their lower tier package (and competitive rates on better systems). Let’s see how they stack up:

The Good

One thing that pleased this reviewer right away was some up-front pricing, starting at $19.99 a month. That’s pretty low in this industry. And even though it’s a DIY security system, Protect America can walk you through the installation via phone, which is pretty good for customers who feel intimidated in setting up a security system.

Once you move on from the lower price point, the company offers a wide array of security devices, like monitored smoke alarms, cameras, and more. Simple app controls, cellular options, and touchscreens complete the company’s offerings, making this a well-rounded security system.

Not much just that the low price vanishes once you get past the basics.

What to Expect

• A low price, especially if your needs are very basic.
• Options include cameras, smoke detectors, and more.
• Phone help for DIY installation.
• 24x7x365 monitoring. Cellular is an option.
• App and touchscreen control.

Our Final Verdict: 8.8/10

Protect America is worthy of checking out in your alarm company comparison shopping (but I would press them for more stickers if I chose them). They check all the boxes, and the price points of Protect America are solid, especially if you want a little help with a DIY system.
