Leon County had the highest crime rate in Florida for the past four years, and Tallahassee’s crime rate is nearly double the Florida average. Tallahassee’s robbery rate is close to twice the U.S. average, and the city’s burglary and motor vehicle theft rates are also higher than the national average.
The areas surrounding Florida State University have a higher crime rate than many areas of Tallahassee. This area is highly populated with students, making it a prime target area for property crime. The Apalachee/Capital Circle area also has above-average crime rates because of its high population density.
While Tallahassee’s crime rate lowers as you move away from the city center, a home security system is an investment that provides protection and lets you feel more secure in your home no matter where you live in the city.
Choosing between wired and wireless home security systems in Tallahassee
When shopping for a home security system, one of the first choices you need to make is whether you’d prefer a wired or wireless system. Many companies offer wireless, DIY systems that can easily be installed by the homeowner, while other companies use systems that use your home’s existing power and communication systems.Wireless vs. wired home security system
Wireless system | Wired |
---|---|
Can often be installed by homeowner | Generally requires professional installation |
Does not require a landline connection | Usually requires a landline connection |
Can be easily taken with you if you move, making it ideal for renters | Cannot be easily removed and transported, making it a better option for homeowners |
Does not require any modifications to your home | May require installing new outlets or wiring |
If you enjoy working with technology and want the ability to upgrade or expand the security system over time, a wireless, DIY system is a good fit. DIY systems are also a good choice for renters who want to take their alarm system when they move.
For homeowners who want to have a security system installed without worrying about the details, a wired, professionally installed system is a good option.
The cost of home security systems in Tallahassee
The final cost of a home security system varies depending on how many features you want. Some of the most popular features are:
Your cost is also affected by whether you choose a monitored or unmonitored system. Unmonitored systems are more economical but provide less protection than a monitored system. A monitored system ensures someone is always checking on your home’s security and decreases the chance of false alarms, but this service comes with a monthly cost ranging from $20 to more than $50.
