Frequently Asked Questions About Florida Home Security
What is the crime rate in Florida?
Florida's overall crime rate is 16.87 per 1,000 residents (2024 FBI data). The violent crime rate is 2.67 per 1,000, which is actually below the national average. Property crime sits at 14.20 per 1,000, also below the national average. Florida's crime rates have been trending downward in recent years.
Is Florida a safe state to live in?
Florida is safer than many people expect. Both violent and property crime rates are below national averages. That said, safety varies a lot by city and neighborhood. Tourist-heavy areas and some urban centers have higher crime rates, while many suburban communities are very safe. Always research your specific neighborhood.
What are the best home security companies in Florida?
ADT is actually headquartered in Boca Raton, FL, making them a strong local choice with extensive service coverage. SimpliSafe and Ring are great DIY options. For professional installation, Vivint and ADT both have strong Florida presence. Hurricane-prone areas should look for systems with reliable battery backup.
How much does a home security system cost in Florida?
Home security systems in Florida typically range from $15-45 per month for monitoring. Equipment costs run from $200-600 for DIY systems to $500-1500 for professional installation. Given Florida's weather risks, consider systems that include water leak sensors and extended battery backup.
Do I need a permit for a home security system in Florida?
Most Florida cities and counties require alarm permits. Costs vary by municipality, typically $25-50 per year. False alarm fees can be significant, so make sure your system is properly configured. Check with your local city or county for specific permit requirements.
