Best Akron, Ohio Home Security & Alarm Companies 2023

Best Response Time

Most consumers believe that the pricing and features are the two most important factors to consider when choosing an alarm company. Although there's truth to that, it's also important to consider a company's response time.

The term "response time" refers to the length of time it takes for the monitoring station to connect you to an operator in case of an emergency. It's worth noting that a company's response time doesn't directly affect the amount of time it would take the police or responders to reach your house. However, the faster your monitoring center verifies alerts, the sooner they can send help your way.

After analyzing the crime statistics in Akron, OH, we've discovered that the response time of alarm companies has a direct correlation with the success rate of stopping crimes in progress. We've concluded that companies with faster response times are more successful in preventing crimes than those with slower response times. With that in mind, we recommend Simplisafe because of the fact that they have one of the fastest response times in Akron, OH.

Best Choice for Home Automation

Home automation products were designed to make life easier, but adding home automation to your home security system can also add security benefits. Because of this, we recommend looking into a company that has a strong home security system and home automation offer.

A good company for home automation does not just provide a wide range of smart home products, but also provides a usable home automation service that allows you to use features like schedules, rules, and automation scenes.

In Akron, OH, there are several alarm companies that meet our standards when it comes to home automation, but among them, Brinks stands out. For one, their smart home products are reliable and of high quality. Ther products are either from their partner manufacturer who also makes their security system or from third-party smart home brands. These products, along with their security system, are then linked together by the Brinks smartphone app that allows interconnectivity between the products. As an example, your security system can tell your smart home when you're away so your smart home system can automatically set your home to the appropriate mode. If you have smart locks, your security system can even prompt the Brinks automation platform to automatically lock your door as you leave the house.

Given that Brinks is strong in both home security and home automation, we officially named them the best alarm company that offers home automation in Akron, OH. To get started with Brinks service, head over to their website.
