Today, the average cost for home security system monitoring services ranges from $15 to $35/month. The upfront cost of home security equipment typically ranges from $100 to $250 and monthly security equipment costs range from $10 to $35/month.
If the security system only covers your home office, it's considered a direct cost, and you can deduct the entire cost of installation and monitoring.
