I had an alarm system installed which I pay monthly for. Can this be claimed on my taxes?

The home alarm system is not deductible on federal tax return if installed on a personal residence, not used as a rental or in a business.

No, alarm systems on your residence are a personal expense and not deductible.
If you work out of your home, you could potentially claim a portion of it. Here is some more information if this applies to you: The Home Office Deduction
