Myth Busted: You CAN Afford Smart Home Security with Kangaroo
Think smart home security is only for the wealthy? Think again.
For years, traditional security companies have pushed the idea that true home protection comes with high monthly fees, professional installation, and multi-year contracts. But that’s no longer the case. Thanks to Kangaroo Home Security, affordable, smart, and effective home security is finally within reach for everyone—renters, homeowners, families, and even college students.
In this post, we’re busting the myth that smart home security has to be expensive and showing how Kangaroo delivers powerful protection without draining your bank account.
Why People Think Smart Home Security Is Expensive
Historically, home security has come with:
Professional installation fees averaging $100–$500+
Long-term contracts locking you in for 2–3 years
Monthly monitoring costs as high as $60/month
Bulky equipment that requires drilling and rewiring
No wonder people assume smart home security is a luxury!
