Las Vegas continues to add residents. U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the City of Las Vegas population is higher in 2023 than it was at the 2020 Census, and Clark County (the Las Vegas\u2013Henderson\u2013Paradise metro) also grew, driven largely by net domestic migration. See Las Vegas QuickFacts<\/a> and Clark County QuickFacts<\/a> for the latest official figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though annual growth rates fluctuate, the city is still expanding. You can review historical population trends<\/a>, but for current figures rely on the Census estimates noted above. As the metro has grown, public safety has evolved too: recent data show violent crime in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) area declined in 2023 compared with 2022, while some property crime categories remain elevated; homicides are down from their 2021\u20132022 highs (LVMPD Annual Report<\/a>; FBI Crime Data Explorer<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although LVMPD reports improvement from pandemic-era peaks, \u201cLas Vegas\u201d crime figures depend on geography and method. Within the LVMPD jurisdiction, overall violent crime fell in 2023 versus 2022 and homicide totals declined, while property crime trends were mixed with motor vehicle theft remaining a challenge (LVMPD<\/a>; FBI CDE<\/a>). On the consumer side, surveys indicate roughly a quarter to a third of U.S. households use a home security system today, and cost, contracts, and privacy concerns remain leading reasons some households still hold off (Security.org<\/a>; J.D. Power<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tested eight popular home security systems<\/a> over an extended period to find the four best options in Las Vegas. All of our top picks have the technology to keep you safe, whether you prefer Vivint\u2019s<\/a> professionally installed smart-home ecosystem, Frontpoint\u2019s<\/a> responsive DIY support, ADT\u2019s<\/a> full\u2011service installation and monitoring, or the flexible, no\u2011contract setup from SimpliSafe.<\/a> We also weighed how today\u2019s leading DIY options compare in features like video verification and cellular backup (see current comparisons<\/a>). We’ll do a deep dive into each pick below and explain Las Vegas’ “verified response” alarm policy so you have the information you need to make sure the police respond to your home promptly. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/span>\n \n\n\n

How We Found the Best Home Security Systems in Las Vegas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To find home security systems<\/a>, we looked for national companies that provide professional monitoring so they could keep an eye on your property around the clock. The companies we tested are likely familiar to you: ADT<\/a>, Vivint<\/a>, Frontpoint<\/a>, GetSafe<\/a>, SimpliSafe<\/a>, Link Interactive<\/a>, Protect America<\/a> and LiveWatch are the most popular companies in the business. We investigated each one to ensure they covered the basics of home security, went through the installation process to check out customer service, and tested each security system for eight months to ensure that the equipment and support held up in the long run. Since then, the DIY category has expanded with strong, no\u2011contract options such as Ring Alarm (Ring Protect Pro<\/a>), Abode (monitoring plans<\/a>), Arlo (security system<\/a>), Wyze (home monitoring<\/a>), and ADT Self Setup (DIY monitoring<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each company had to offer four basic types of protection:<\/p>\n\n\n
