"I bought the FrontPoint system after reading stellar reviews on Angies List.  My experience has been excellent.  It really was as simple to install as they said -- you basically plug it in and place your door/window monitors.  I like that there was no wiring involved.  
The rep on the phone gave excellent service and answered all my questions    I was impressed I got to speak to the same rep every time, not someone different.
I put "0" for the cost because I don't remember.  It was not expensive, and very cost competitive to other providers.  Also, you can easily scale the system up or down, depending on your needs.

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on the number and size of windows.

Yes, most professional-grade window films include warranties covering fading, peeling, and bubbling.

The most popular tint percentage for home windows is 35%. Generally, most homeowners choose a visible light transmission (VLT) between 50% and 35%, where lower numbers mean less sunlight enters the home. A 35% tint blocks over half the incoming light while still allowing plenty of natural light, which can improve energy efficiency and comfort. If privacy is a primary concern, you can opt for a tint of 50% or lower to make it more difficult for people to see inside. However, keep in mind that very dark, thick tints may offer fewer energy-efficiency benefits.

Unlike cars, there are no laws regulating window tint percentages on homes, so you can choose what you think is best. It is often a good idea to hire a professional, as they can show you samples of how different tint levels will look in your specific property, helping you make the right choice.

The visibility through tinted house windows depends on the lighting. During the day, when it is brighter outside, privacy film prevents people from seeing into your home. However, this effect reverses at night. If you have lights on inside, it becomes brighter indoors than outdoors, allowing people to see inside. To optimize privacy, you can select from various shades of film, ranging from lighter to darker, which affects how much is visible from the outside.

Modern windows provide enhanced UV protection, improved heat retention, and cooling efficiency, contributing to overall household energy savings.
