Security system for long term rental

[James Kim]

Hello and thank you in advance for your help.

I have a long term rental that has been sitting for a bit. The property isn't the problem (new construction, out of state in TX) according to my PM. It has been suggested to me that the crime rate in the city is not too good and although potential tenants like the property the security might be a concern. Whether thats true im indifferent and I'm considering setting up a security system that tenants can use. One system ive been considering is Simplisafe. I was thinking of installing window amd door sensors on all window and doors, as well as motion sensor on the first floor and second floor (its a 2 flr property). I saw that the system can be set up without any separate monitoring that costs extra (monthly fee) so that i can leave it to the tenant to sign up and pay for monitoring if they want.

Questions,  (1) has anyone provided security devices for long term rentals? If so (2) what system have you used? And (3) any feedback on your experience with your current system? Im interested to know if its been easy for your tenants to use it when they move in (account set up etc) as you go from tenant to tenant.

Thanks!

James
