We compared 15 home security systems in Minneapolis on Google Maps · 3 listed · How we rank

A security system is only as good as the person who sets it up and the company that answers when it trips. The home security systems in Minneapolis covered here hold more than 800 Google reviews between them, with ratings running from 4.2 up to a perfect 5.0, and the spread says as much about who installs as about who monitors.

Short answer: SafeStreets Home Security Twin Cities leads on proven volume, rated 4.9 from more than 660 Google reviews, and its site describes ADT-monitored systems with professional install. Westco Systems in St. Louis Park holds a perfect 5.0 on a much smaller base, and Lloyd Security in Arden Hills covers homes and businesses. No prices are published here.

Our take: The deepest review base on this page and a high rating to go with it. Reviewers mostly describe the install visit, so ask about monitoring terms and contract length separately.

Our take: An Arden Hills installer with both home and business work, and reviewers who describe being customers for years. The 4.2 average shows less consistency than the others here, so get the agreement in writing.

Reading the scorecards

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated each company, ranked against the others. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 5.0 from a few. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What shapes the cost of a home security system

No prices are published here. Cost depends on how many doors, windows and cameras you want covered, whether equipment is bought or provided, the monthly monitoring plan, and the length of the contract. Ask each company for a written quote that separates equipment, installation and monitoring.
