"Bryan D helped me with my new house alarm. Bryan was friendly and pleasant to work with. He took his time and listened to my needs for my desired level of security. (I am quite the paranoid person when it comes to home security!) He is extremely knowledgeable and was informative and thorough on all aspects of security, from the system functionality to do-it-yourself enhancements around my home. He gave me a ton of great advice and I feel 110% at ease with my security system! I highly recommend you work with Bryan at Alarm protect group!!"
"ADT’s security system is incredibly reliable and easy to use. The app is intuitive, and the home automation features are a game-changer. I love being able to monitor my home from anywhere. Great service all around!"
"For Security Systems, this is the place to go. Yes, I had ADP quote my project, but Modern Tech was by far the best option. Not only is it a local company, but the professionalize, value and price made it an easy decision, plus there was not a three year contract! Robert was the installer and he was fabulous at explaining options (personalized to what I needed) and how everything worked. He was also very responsive to the follow-up questions I had. I highly recommend using this company for your surveillance and alarm system needs."
"Jack and Eric at Vantage Security Installation went above and beyond from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough. They took the time to explain all of my options clearly, helped me choose the best setup for my home, and worked efficiently on installation day. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get security cameras!"
"I would strongly recommend Allen, Morgan, and Shields LLC for any type of security camera project you might have. Mr. Faisal did a great job quoting me the exact system we needed following our specifications. His technician did an incredible job and finished our project within 2 days. Very great quality, communication, and service."
"After a thorough telephone inquiry to explore possible causes for our home security system shutdown, Chad offered a house call the following day to confirm his suspicions and restore operation. He showed up when promised, identified equipment problems at two sites, replaced two system batteries -- one beyond restoring and one getting old -- and gave us very helpful information to relay to the next owner of our home, which will be on the market later this year. He clearly answered every question. His trip charge from south Metro Denver to our Broomfield location was quite reasonable, and the only other charge, for the batteries, was modest as well. We felt lucky to locate someone with Chad's expertise and prompt response, and would highly recommend him and his company, Custom Protection, to anyone with a home security system problem. Thanks, Chad!"
"We recently needed to upgrade our home s WiFi coverage to get us the bandwidth necessary for multiple home security cameras. Anthony came out to my home, free of charge, to assess our situation and give us a quote. The proposed solution and the quote were both great. What s more, Anthony was super patient with me as I asked lots of neurotic follow-up questions by email. On the day of the project, he came with a partner, calling about 45 minutes ahead to let us know his ETA. He and his partner were both courteous and respectful, and they both wore masks without me having to ask (this work took place in the age of COVID-19). Partway through the project, I threw in some last minute thoughts about a new TV antenna and Anthony graciously agreed to do that work the same day, for a very fair price. At the end of the project we realized that part of the WiFi system did not quite meet my initial expectations for specifications. Not a deal breaker, but also not what we were expecting. Anthony acknowledged the discrepancy and provided a fair discount to make up for it. The job he did was completed safely, and they made it look very clean in the end. When you re poking holes in walls, you always want to make sure it looks professional when all is said and done. Anthony nailed it. I m very happy with the service I received and I would work with Digital Concepts again in the future, should such needs arise."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts
To prevent false alarms, motion detectors need proper placement and settings. Start by installing them away from pets and windows where outside movement could set them off. Adjust the sensitivity settings to reduce the likelihood of it detecting minor motions. Consider using dual-tech sensors, for example passive infrared (PIR) and microwave technology, to improve accuracy and reduce false alarms. And don’t forget regular maintenance—cleaning the sensor and checking for any obstructions can go a long way in making sure your detectors run smoothly.
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.
The cost of home automation averages around $1,000, with most projects falling between $200 and $2,000. The total cost depends on several factors, including the level of automation, brand, system features, home size, and location. For a DIY approach, basic home automation technology can cost between $100 and $500, though the scope and interaction between products may be limited. High-end, all-inclusive systems for larger homes can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, especially when they include smart appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers that require extensive wiring. Additional costs, such as subscriptions for maintenance services, can also impact the total price. It's often helpful to set a budget and consult with an expert to determine the best options for your home.
You likely can reset your house alarm without the code, but it depends on many factors like how it’s wired and whether or not there’s a default reset code. Most companies make bypassing a security alarm without entering your code challenging to prevent burglars from simply resetting the alarm during a break-in. Your best bet is to contact your alarm company directly to get specialized support for your situation.
But, while you wait for support, you can disconnect it from the power source to stop the alarm from going off.
Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate security camera that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity.
