Would you buy a security system for your apartment building, and why?

Hey everyone,

I'm a long way away from buying something and am mostly just working on a business plan right now!

For people who do own apartment buildings of 6+ units now, do you contract ADT or some other online security system with cameras? 

On the plus side, there is a extra security and residents feel safer. Additionally, the place has some measure of protection from vandalism. On the negative side, the quotes I've seen suggest a quotes from anywhere from 50-100 a month. 

Security is something I absolutely want to offer my tenants, and these rates are expensive at the same time. Does anyone use security systems, and do the companies provide "bulk pricing" if you have multiple buildings?
