There are different types of systems depending on whether you want visuals, audio, sensors, etc. We found a few home security systems on sale at Amazon, so check them out to see which one is best for your house.

Ring takes floodlights to the next level with the addition of a camera. The floodlight cam is motion activated and features two-way talk, lights, and a siren.

The Ring alarm kit provides you with whole-home security at your fingertips. You can receive motion-activated alerts on your phone or use an Alexa device to arm, disarm, and check the status of your system. Alerts come when doors and windows open and when motion is detected.
