Comparing security camera subscription plans
Arlo Pro 2 Wireless Home Security Camera System 2-cam kit

Security cameras often have both an initial cost and monthly subscription fees (along with optional annual payments to save some money). Sometimes these subscription fees are optional, but you may miss out on so many features that it can be difficult to use the camera otherwise. And some security companies offer multiple plan options depending on whether or not you want professional monitoring, how many cameras you have, and other factors.

Let’s clear up that mess by taking a look at popular security camera brands and what their plans look like. This comparison of security subscription plans will help you find options that work for you.

How much does it cost to install security cameras?
Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro on wall.

Home security systems can come with several kinds of costs -- even for something as simple as a security cam. There’s the initial cost of purchasing the product, i.e. the price tag when you’re putting it in the cart. There is often a subscription that you may or may not need to pay for cloud video storage (or an extra SD card if you are going with local storage). And there’s the potential cost of installation, which can be a separate fee itself.
How much will installation add to your bill?

That depends on a few things, like if you’re getting a professional installation or if your security camera is part of a larger system. Let’s look at the different cases and how they’ll hit your wallet.
