Home security systems, while constantly dropping in price, may still be cost-prohibitive for some people. Others, who don't own their own homes, may be prohibited from installing a security system in their dwelling. For cases such as these, there are cheap home security systems that, while not as effective as the professionally installed, monitored alarm systems so common today, at least provide some enhancement in security with little alteration to the dwelling.

Finding cheap alarm systems, fortunately, isn't that difficult thanks to the wide availability and low cost of electronics. Spy shops, which cater to hobby enthusiasts and spy movie buffs, often carry cheap surveillance technology that you might consider. Webcams that record when motion is detected can be an inexpensive way to add cheap surveillance technology to an apartment, so that if something goes missing you can check the footage to see who was in your apartment while you were gone.
If you just want to monitor the exterior of your apartment without installing any sort of alarm device, you can pick up a cheap security camera at most department stores. Many of them can be found in the infants and toddlers sections, where parents purchase them to keep an eye on their children while they play in another room.
An alarm system can be an array of high-tech devices that respond to motion, opened entryways, temperature changes or noise. They can also be a pair of magnets that form a circuit when a door or window is closed and set off a siren when an intruder breaks the circuit by opening the door or window. If you're just looking for a deterrent, such a device can definitely help.
Remember, a burglar is unlikely to wait around to see if your system is monitored or not just as they're unlikely to closely examine an alarm they've tripped to ascertain the quality of the device. Some stores carry stickers similar to those distributed by alarm companies to their clients. Putting one of these on a window or door might make a potential thief think twice. They might not be from a legitimate company, but any sticker that warns that there's an alarm wired to the premises can't hurt, even if it's just a decoy.
