Frontpoint is another great option for renters looking for a lot of flexibility in their system. They offer three core packages, but you have the option to add on additional pieces of equipment from a mile-long list of offerings. Everything is DIY-friendly — which means landlord-friendly, too — and from package to protection, most systems will take less than half an hour to install.
Sounds good, right? It gets better. Right now Frontpoint’s security packages are on sale. Here’s the breakdown:
Frontpoint Security Packages and Prices
Package Name |

The Family Lookout |

If those prices are still looking a little steep, don’t worry. If you sign up for a 36 month contract, you can pay for the equipment in installments. The Starter Kit will run you $416 per month, the Home Shield is $8.68, and the Family Lookout is $11.26. That’s a little easier to swallow, right?
Here’s where it gets a little dicey, though. You’re going to have to purchase a monitoring plan when you use Frontpoint — there’s no self-monitoring option like we see in our number one pick, SimpliSafe. And it’s not cheap. At $49.99 per month, it’s actually one of the pricier monitoring packages out there. Keep in mind, though, with this subscription you’re going to have access to all of Frontpoint’s advanced features like geofencing, video analytics, smart alerts, and customizable scenes. Just something to keep in mind.
