Best Alarm System for an Apartment

In this video, Jorge discusses which security system is best suited for an apartment. Alarm Grid usually recommends using a wireless security system with an apartment, since they are easier to set up and don't require wireless to be run through the walls. These panels can also often use desk mounts.

Just like a house, an apartment can greatly benefit from a security system. An alarm system can alert both the end user and a central monitoring station whenever someone tries to enter the apartment. And if the system is connected with a monitoring station, then the user can receive automatic emergency dispatch in the event of an alarm.

The easy thing about setting up a security system for an apartment is that very few sensors are needed. Most apartment setups will work just fine with only a few door and window contacts and a single motion sensor. Alarm Grid sells plenty of security system kits that are perfect for apartments. And with a wireless system and sensors, everything is very easy to set up and program for a DIY user.

Some of the best wireless security systems to use inside an apartment include the Honeywell Lyric Controller and the Qolsys IQ Panel 2. Both of these systems have compatible desk mounts that will allow a user to avoid having to mount their system on the wall. This is useful since many apartment leases forbid users from creating holes in the walls. Instead, the system can rest on any table or desk.

Additionally, most security sensors can be mounted using double-sided foam tape. This also prevents the user from having to create holes in the wall. The sensors are very easy to learn-in with a security system, and programming can be completed in a matter of minutes.

Most apartment systems will use a cellular or IP connection for monitoring service. We typically advise users to go with cellular monitoring, as it is more reliable and not affected by power outages. Cellular monitoring also provides very fast speeds that are nearly on par with WIFI.
