Burglary is illegal entry into a building with intent to commit a crime—and it's the number one reason people invest in home security.

The smart home revolution has enhanced security tech to make even the most advanced safety gadgetry an easy install for the layman.

This year's chart for overall satisfaction (on a scale of 0 to 10) for home security systems looks remarkably similar to last year's chart.

All of those categories earned a 9.0 or higher for SimpliSafe, which is also our Editors' Choice for home security systems; it's nice when the pros and users actually agree.

ADT, on the other hand, had a dismal recommendation score, which flies in the face of our Editors' Choice pick of ADT Pulse for best full-featured professional home monitoring security service; it's sad when the pros and the users can't agree.

Last year, we asked readers to rate smart locks along with other smart home devices (like thermostats and lights) because, well, they're all smart.

But the number of smart lock brands is growing—with SimpliSafe, Google Nest, and Wyze all in the mix now—so next year may see radical change.
