"SafeStreets Home Security was a lifesaver! They had to troubleshoot my 3 floor townhouse unit, requiring many trips up and down the stairs. Finally determined that I needed an entire new alarm system but had all the parts and equipment available. Helped me program the app and set my security codes."

"Jose helped me connect my home entertainment system to a single power source after it had previously done incorrectly. He also attempted to connect my tv to communicate to my receiver. Jose was very generous with his time, coming out several times to do that. He suggested that I replace the receiver, which was not the problem. Then he suggested that I may have had a bad sensor in the receiver that wouldn’t allow the tv to communicate with the receiver and speakers. Neither of those issues were correct, and I fixed the problem on my own. Overall, the price to connect the power source was reasonable, and Jose came out several times at no charge, but couldn’t solve the problem."

"Install was easy. Up front cost was pretty low with Angie's List coupon. Monthly price is a little high compared to competing companies. Response time with alarms is excellent. I was advised to use glass break alarms within 10 ft of my first floor windows, which we installed correctly. I asked prior to installation if having one in the kitchen would cause false alarms due to dishes clanging, etc. I was told the glass break alarms are configured to a precise frequency that alarms with breaking glass. So, not a "no", but not really an answer. Well, every time we cook dinner, wash dishes or empty the dish washer, the kitchen glass break alarm gives a warning which would sound the alarm if it was set. This has caused us a number of false alarms while we've been away due to shifting bowls or plates in our drying rack. For the first several we've had to pay our police department $120 to check the house, and I was only notified after the first alarm that there was a cheaper option for a security company to drive by to check for a break in."

"It went great!  From Travis the sales person to Noah the installer I couldn't have asked for a more professional and through team to deliver my home security needs.  We just bought a new house in a neighborhood that's up and coming but there's still an element that we want to protect our home and valuable from.  Security One helped us find a system that we could monitor while we're away and that would make my girlfriend feel safe when I'm not a home.  We highly recommend them especially Travis and Noah.  Ask for them by name!

"We like their service. We haven't had any problems. They are very good. This was the first time we've had an alarm/security system in our home. The supplier is ADT. I like that I can set my alarm every night before I go to bed."

"When I finally decided to have security cameras installed around my home, I was full of trepidation. I was sure it would cost an exorbitant amount and the cameras would be difficult to access and view from my phone. I couldn’t have been more wrong. LA Security Cameras was recommended by a neighbor who was happy with his installation. I thought I would go with just a few cameras outside, but I ended up with full coverage both outside and inside for a price that was lower than what most of my friends had paid for their systems from other companies. It records 24/7 in HD, is easy to access from my phone, and provides full audio and visual surveillance daytime and night, without extra lights, and indicates when there is movement. George, the owner of the company; Robert, the head designer; and Louis, the head installer; attended to the installation personally, and could not have been more helpful. Every square inch of my property is now covered inside and out, and the system is a breeze to operate. The other techs who worked on the project, Andy, Georgie, and Jesse, were efficient, polite and neat. They left the site clean and stayed late each of the two days of installation to get the project done on time. After I had a chance to check all the views of the cameras, Georgie returned and adjusted each camera for the perfect angle and showed me numerous useful system features that I could easily manage from my phone. I recommend this company very highly!"

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

It's recommended that you have an upload speed of at least 10 megabits per second (Mpbs) in order to use a wireless security camera.

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to. 

Strike plates and security plates are the same thing, but there are strike plates that offer more security than others. For the highest security, look for plates made of heavy-duty steel, reinforced strike plates thicker than regular ones, and extended strike plates. It’s much harder to break into a door with these strike plates because they hold up better to force from attempted entry.

With the popularity of DIY security cameras and video surveillance systems, it’s important to understand the benefits and potential drawbacks to decide if it’s the right choice for you. Advantages and disadvantages include:

Pros

  • Video footage readily available

  • Reduced home insurance

  • Save on labor costs by installing security cameras yourself

  • Wireless systems are easy to move and set up

  • Monitor from your smartphone

  • Avoid false alarms

Cons

  • Features may be vulnerable to hackers

  • No direct link to authorities

  • Risk of installing the system improperly, reducing its effectiveness

A potential weak link in any security system is poor connection strength or dropped signals, particularly in the case of a fully wireless system. You also want to ensure a reliable connection to get a hold of your service provider quickly. Also, you should exercise caution when handing out sign-in credentials to people outside the household.
