Quick Answer
In Harrisburg, PA, a professionally monitored home security system typically costs $0 to $200 upfront for equipment (often $0 with a contract), $75 to $200 for installation (sometimes waived), and $25 to $60 per month for monitoring. Most homeowners pay $300 to $900 total in their first year.
NetSecure360 offers 24/7 ADT professional monitoring and three home security service plans for South Central Pennsylvania homeowners. If you are in the Harrisburg area, see our Harrisburg home security page for local details. Here is a complete breakdown of every cost bucket.
The Three Cost Buckets
Every home security purchase involves three separate expenses. Understanding each one helps you compare options without getting surprised later.
Price ranges below reflect general market rates as of mid-2026. Actual costs vary by provider, promotions, and your specific home. Contact NetSecure360 at (717) 256-1110 for exact pricing.
Equipment
- Basic sensor kit (door/window sensors, motion, keypad)$0 to $150
- Security cameras (each)$100 to $250
- Smart door lock$100 to $300
- Smart thermostat$100 to $250
- Smart lighting (per bulb)$15 to $60
- Complete system$200 to $800+
Many professionally monitored packages offer $0 equipment upfront with a multi-year monitoring contract. The cost is spread into the monthly fee.
Professional Monitoring
- Basic monitoring (alarm response only)$20 to $30/month
- Mid-tier (alarm + sensors + app)$30 to $45/month
- Premium (full smart home + cameras)$45 to $60/month
Without monitoring, your system only beeps locally. No one responds. Professional monitoring means a trained team is watching 24/7 and can dispatch police, fire, or EMS.
Installation
- DIY installation$0
- Professional installation$75 to $200
Professional installation is often included or discounted with monitoring contracts. For most Harrisburg homeowners, it is worth the investment. Proper sensor placement and configuration make a real difference in system reliability.

Several factors shift your cost up or down. Here is what matters most:
Home size
More square footage means more sensors needed to cover entry points. A 3-bedroom ranch needs fewer sensors than a 5-bedroom two-story.
Number of entry points
Count your doors and ground-floor windows. Each one needs a sensor. Harrisburg-area homes average 8 to 14 contact points.
Camera count
Each camera adds $100 to $250 in equipment cost. Packages with higher monitoring tiers often include cloud storage in the monthly fee.
Contract length
Month-to-month plans cost more per month. Annual or multi-year contracts lower the monthly rate, and many come with $0 equipment upfront.
Active promotions
NetSecure360 runs periodic offers including free Nest bundles, $0 upfront equipment, and Visa reward cards. Terms and conditions apply; availability varies.
Does Home Security Actually Save You Money?
For many Pennsylvania homeowners, the answer is yes, for two reasons:
Insurance discounts
Many Pennsylvania homeowners insurance carriers offer 5% to 20% discounts for professionally monitored systems. On a typical Pennsylvania policy (costs vary by coverage level and location), the annual savings can meaningfully offset your monitoring cost. Contact your insurer for your specific discount.
Check with your insurer for exact discount amounts, as they vary by carrier and policy.
Loss prevention
The FBI Uniform Crime Report estimates average property loss per residential burglary at over $2,600. One prevented break-in more than covers multiple years of monitoring costs.
