Lowe's has put together some security-systems-in-a-box that are easy to install and easier to monitor. Through a connection from a smartphone, you can monitor the hardware in these kits, and their add-ons, from anywhere in the world.

With area coverage monitors, intrusion alarms, medical alert, pet doors sensors, plant monitors, smoke detectors, sprinkler systems and more, there is almost no part of your home or office that you won't know exactly what is going on.

Lowe's also offers monitored services to trigger alerts via SMS, starting at just $15 per month.
