"I used to work in the security industry. Once I got married and had kids I definitely wanted a home security system. Bought ADT about a month ago and it’s worked out excellent. No glitches or issues and everyone was awesome in the buying and activation process."

"I contacted several electrical companies to correct problems in my home. Mister Sparky stood out from the other competitors based on our telephone conversation and the answers to my questions about the issues I was experiencing. I was offered a free inspection to determine what exactly the problems were. They offered to provide a copy of their business license and proof of insurance â this was assurance I wanted. The following day, Brandon (electrician) and Jamarcus (assistant) came to my house (Pelham, AL) and conducted a free evaluation of my electrical system, which took several hours to complete. I admired them going under the house in 105 Degree heat. Brandon and Jamarcus identified the problems with the electrical system. Brandon clearly defined what work was needed and what the results would correct. Several issues were deemed severe and needed immediate attention. Other items could have waited. His proficient knowledge and experience detected Brandon's 17 years of being a certified electrician. Brandon explained my problems in very easy to understand language and showed me where the problems existed. Brandon and Jamarcus's demeanor, attentiveness, and attention to detail were impressive. Brandon ensured me that all work was guaranteed. I was to contact Mister Sparky and ask for Brandon if any problems arose after the job was completed. My wife and I chose Mister Sparky of Birmingham based on the free written quotation for the work, total breakdown of cost, and the financial options payment plans offered to make the repairs affordable, I selected Mr. Sparky first and foremost on Brandon's interaction with my wife and me. Brandon came across as a caring professional. Jamarcus was also instrumental in being detailed and focused on getting the job done correctly. I wrote this lengthy response to assist readers in learning what kind of positive experience I had based on the examples provided. GC"

"They gave us the best rate and the setup was great for ADT system. The installer did have to tell us about other options that would cost more money but he did not pressure us when we declined. We had door, window and motion detectors included. They gave us a week to practice on the new system, but we could call if we were ready to go live sooner which we did. Set up was quick, easy and uneventful. Very nice installer, Phillip Brown. The cost was quoted at a low price, but the bill came from ADT and was much higher. We were told the contract to ADT did not catch up and we will be getting the lower price with a reimbursement for the excess of the first bill. We did the $99 install and are getting a $100 gift card back. 3 year contract is a little annoying but we plan to stay here for a long time."

"Yvette Pringle provided courteous and professional feedback to me when I called to inquire about a new home security system.  My situation was unique because we were trying to find something that would work for a deaf person.  I appreciated that Yvette did her research to find out what would work.  She also offered different options in terms of a package and plan.  We did end up going with another company, but I really did want to recognize Yvette for her work.  She was very polite and helpful.

"We bought a home with an existing security system that Tom had previously installed, and we needed assistance setting it up ourselves. Tom showed up and helped us with everything, despite us not needing new products/services. He was willing to go out of his way to make sure we were set up. That is top-notch customer service that goes a long way."

Home Security Systems FAQs, answered by experts

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on the number of components and wiring needs.

A deadbolt differs from a regular lock in its design, construction, and security level. Regular locks are typically used for interior doors, such as for bedrooms and bathrooms, and provide minimal security. They are easy to install and use, often featuring a simple locking mechanism on the inside. In contrast, a deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on an exterior door. Its internal construction is designed to withstand significant force, adding a crucial layer of security that can deter intruders. While deadbolts may be more expensive and complicated to install, they are cost-effective for the security they provide and are built to hold up to wear and tear.

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.

You should always install cameras at exterior doors and windows. Other areas where you should place cameras are your front and back yards, the garage and driveway, common living areas, hallways and staircases, and the basement. Remember, you can start with a small Wi-Fi security camera system and always add more cameras if needed.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.
