We compared 16 home security systems in Fort Lauderdale on Google Maps · 4 listed · How we rank

A failed alarm, a break-in scare or an insurance letter is often what starts the search for a home security system in Fort Lauderdale. The companies here hold more than 900 Google reviews between them, and every one is rated 4.7 or higher. The real split is between a larger alarm company with a Davie office, a smart-home outfit in Dania Beach, and two small local shops with long-time monitoring customers.

Short answer: Vector Security, with an office in Davie, has the largest review base here: 4.7 stars from more than 600 Google reviews. HWA Home Automation & Security Systems (4.9) and AlarmOne (4.9) are rated higher, and E.Security Alarm Systems Inc. in Plantation holds a perfect 5.0 on a smaller base.

Behind the scorecard numbers

Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, compared with the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from hundreds of customers carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What shapes the price of a home security system

None of these providers publishes a rate card, so ask for a written quote. Cost depends on how many doors, windows and motion sensors are covered, whether cameras or smoke detection are included, whether you replace old wiring, and what monitoring plan you choose. Ask for equipment and monthly monitoring quoted separately, in writing.

Alarm providers near you

These providers sit in Davie, Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Plantation, so each covers a different side of Broward County. If you’re searching for a home alarm company near me in Fort Lauderdale, each listing shows a phone number and map link.

Questions to ask a security provider

Is monitoring included, and what is the contract length and cancellation rule?
Which equipment do you install, and can I use my own or existing devices?
How quickly can a technician come out if something fails?
Will the system meet my home insurance requirements?
Can I control the system from an app, and who holds the account?

Frequently asked questions

Can a Fort Lauderdale alarm company replace a very old system?

E.Security Alarm Systems has reviews describing exactly that, including a customer whose 36-year-old alarm was sending false fire signals and was replaced within days. Ask any provider to survey the existing wiring before quoting.

Which of these providers works with Alarm.com?

Reviews of Vector Security mention Alarm.com-connected equipment, and E.Security’s site says it works with Honeywell systems. Ask each provider which app and panel brand it installs before you commit.

Do any of these companies handle smart-home features as well as alarms?

HWA Home Automation & Security Systems does. Its site lists automation, audio and video monitoring, and its reviewers describe security design for a new home plus remote access to smart features.

Will a security installer help meet a home insurance requirement?

One E.Security customer said they needed an alarm to meet an insurance requirement and were pleased with a prompt, uncomplicated install. Check with your own insurer what documentation it needs before the visit.

Where to start

Vector Security has the deepest review history here, so start there if you want a larger alarm company. HWA suits a smart-home plan, and AlarmOne and E.Security are the small-shop options. Whichever you call, get monitoring terms in writing before the install.
