Affordable Prices and Price-Lock Guarantee

Alder home security packages are built from scratch based on your needs — the company doesn’t offer pre-made kits. An Alder home security kit could cost between $200 and $500, but the final cost of your kit will depend entirely on your needs. To get an estimate of what your home security will cost, you can get a free quote and an Alder representative will contact you within 24 hours. 

Alder home security system monitoring ranges from $35 to $65 per month with no upfront fees and a three-year contract. The company has a price-lock guarantee, so you can have peace of mind that your plan cost will not increase over time. In addition, as an Alder customer you don’t have to pay for base equipment unless you want equipment upgrades.

Full Equipment and Warranty Options

Alder home security systems have all the basics you should need for a fully-protected home, including the following security devices:

• Touchscreen control panel
• Motion sensor
• Door sensor
• Window sensor
• Flood sensor
• Doorbell camera
• Indoor security cameras
• Glass break sensor
• Smart door lock
• Smart smoke detector
• Fire alarm

Alder also provides a limited 12-month warranty on all of its equipment. However, you can purchase a limited lifetime warranty for an additional monthly cost.

Easy 15-Minute Self Installation 

Alder doesn’t require a professional system installation, saving you money on installation labor fees. Instead, the company makes it easy to install your home security system in approximately 15 minutes. 

The installation process is primarily guided by the Alder touch-screen panel. Upon plugging in your panel, the install wizard will guide you step by step through the installation process. You will have to pair each monitor and camera to the panel before mounting them around your home.

Alder Mobile App

Alder has a mobile app that enables you to monitor and record home activity from any remote location. Through the app you can adjust outdoor and indoor camera angles for clearer views, and remotely arm your security system and lock doors. If and/or when alarms are triggered, you will receive real-time text and email notifications.

Industry-Leading Response Time

Alder Security has one of the quickest response times in the industry. Some home security companies can take up to 30 seconds to respond to an emergency signal, but Alder alarm systems respond in approximately 3.4 seconds or less — that's almost 10 times faster than competing home security companies.

Fire and Carbon Monoxide Warning

Alder Security's fire, smoke alarm, and carbon monoxide detectors instantly warn customers of environmental threats and trigger a response from local emergency personnel. 

Smart Home Device Compatibility

Alder systems are fully compatible with cutting-edge technology such as Amazon Echo, Google Assistant, and Google Home. These devices enable customers to use voice commands to control home security features.

Medical Alert Monitoring Services

Alder Security offers portable medical pendants that can be pressed to reach emergency help anytime, which is less common among home security companies. This makes the systems especially appealing to elderly homeowners who may occasionally need emergency medical assistance.

No Credit Check

Unlike some other home security providers, Alder does not require you to have a certain credit score requirement to gain access to its services. You may purchase an Alder security system with or without credit.

Home Automation Limitations

Home automation services with Alder Security are limited when compared to similar industry offerings. Customers do not have the option for garage door access or small appliance control devices.

Existing home automation equipment includes smart locks, security cameras, thermostat control, lighting control, and mobile app alerts. However, these features (including the Alder app) likely cost extra for homeowners, but the amount isn't specified on the company's website.

Limited Online Pricing Information

Alder does not list its pricing information on its website. This makes it difficult for customers to quickly compare Alder's pricing to other home security providers. The website encourages you to call an Alder representative or fill out a quiz to get a personalized quote.
