How to Choose a Home Security Company
A simple checklist for homeowners in Norman and the OKC metro.
1. Start with what you want to protect
Think about doors and windows, garages, valuables, kids or aging parents, pets, and whether you want cameras, smart locks or fire protection too. A good company will walk through your home and design around it, not sell a one-size-fits-all box.
2. Ask about the equipment
Look for current equipment with cellular communication and a phone app. Boyd installs the Qolsys IQ Panel 5, with a 7" touchscreen, a built-in camera and Wi-Fi plus LTE cellular backup. Learn about the IQ Panel 5 →
3. Check the monitoring
Ask whether monitoring is professional, 24/7 and UL-listed, and whether it covers police, fire and medical alarms.
4. Read the contract
Know the term, the monthly price, what happens if you move, who owns the equipment, and whether service visits are included.
5. Look for local service
When something needs attention, it helps to have a team nearby who knows your system.
6. Read the reviews
Google reviews show how a company treats customers after the sale. Boyd is rated 4.9 stars from 100 reviews. Read our reviews →
