The independent review is based on products\u2019 upfront costs, editors\u2019 ratings, monthly fees, whether or not a monitoring contract is required, the requirement of professional installation, and more. The rating is also based on system-specific features, such as things like voice assistance capabilities and environmental sensors. Some of the systems highly ranked by PCMAG include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>ADT Pulse<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Which earns a high ranking, in large part, due to the fact that its upfront costs start at just $49, and monthly fees start at just $28.99. It also has a lot of neat features, including power outage backup, cellular backup, and voice assistance capabilities. <\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Vivint Smart Home &#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only system that earned a higher rating than the ADT pulse is the Vivint Smart Home security system. While both monthly and upfront installation costs are higher with this system (starting at $39.99 and $549, respectively), the system does <\/span>not<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> require a monthly monitoring contract.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>SimpliSafe Home Security System &#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the third system listed as an \u201ceditors\u2019 choice\u201d is the SimpliSafe home security system.
