According to the FBI\u2019s annual crime report<\/a> and U.S. News & World Report\u2019s annual listings<\/a>, New Jersey continues to post lower violent- and property-crime rates than the U.S. average. The FBI\u2019s state view shows that in 2023 New Jersey remained below national levels across major categories, with larceny-theft comprising most property offenses, and state officials report<\/a> notable declines in motor vehicle theft through 2024 and into 2025 following targeted enforcement. These trends help keep New Jersey among the safer places to call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Jersey homeowners should feel good about these trends, but a home security system can still help make peace of mind a \u201cshore\u201d thing. Our picks \u2014 Vivint<\/a>, Frontpoint<\/a> , ADT<\/a>, and SimpliSafe<\/a> \u2014 offer 24\/7 remote monitoring of entrances and rooms, easy-to-use equipment, and helpful support. Prioritize features that reduce false alarms and speed response, like video verification (for example, SimpliSafe\u2019s Fast Protect Monitoring<\/a>) and emerging dispatch standards such as TMA AVS-01<\/a>, along with dual-path connectivity and privacy-forward video options. It still pays to get quotes from a few companies to see what\u2019s the best fit for your needs, but all four of these systems have their place in the Garden State.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/span>\n \n\n\n
