What are the best places to install Wi-Fi security cameras?

• <div><p>You should always install cameras at exterior doors and windows. Other areas <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/security-camera-placement">where you should place cameras</a> 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. </p></div>

What are Smart LED bulbs?

• <div><p>Smart LED light bulbs are designed with software that connects to other Smart accessories, such as a smartphone app or Smart home assistant. Through these accessories, you can control your LED lights remotely, so you don’t need to use conventional wall switches. Many Smart LED bulbs also feature customization options that allow you to set automated schedules or change the colors of your lights.</p></div>

How do I know if smart light switches work in my home?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-smart-light-switch.htm">Smart light switches</a> are designed to work with traditional switch wiring, so they should work within your home. However, you will need a Wi-Fi connection to use them properly. Older models may use different connection standards like ZigBee, which must be supported to control them.</p></div>

Which additional home improvement tasks can be efficiently coordinated alongside electrical work?

• <div><p>When dealing with electrical work, getting several projects done at once can save you time and money. If an electrician is coming to replace a circuit box, have them replace outlets or light fixtures, too. Adding light switches, outlets, and fixtures to any electrical project you have going on is the most common way to get home improvement projects done quicker.</p></div>

Can you install a security system in an old house?

• <div><p>Yes, you can install a home security system in an old house. In fact, you can install a security system in any home. Some wiring may need to be added, but most home security systems do not require a lot of additional wiring. Wireless security systems can easily be installed with minimal additional wiring, if any at all. Most wireless security systems can be monitored and controlled from your smartphone, and the cameras and sensors operate on batteries.</p></div>

"I’ve had nothing but problems with SafeStreets. The installation was a mess—took hours longer than promised, and the technician seemed clueless about the system.
