"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!"
"Great company, tried another company recommended by home advisor who stood me up. No show. Called directly to hire. They were great, professional and completed work quickly. Would definitely recommend and would use again."
"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
While all security lighting systems offer different benefits, motion sensor security lights have the most advantages and the fewest cons for the average homeowner. While the upfront cost can be hefty, automatic, motion-detected activation will reduce your energy bills in the long run by ensuring the lights are only turned on when necessary. Plus, they’ll ward off intruders and help invited guests find their way onto your property in equal measure.
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
Not all security systems are equal, so familiarize yourself with the many features available and any associated costs. Decide on a wireless or wired system and look at monthly subscription fees to access the service. Finally, read plenty of reviews to check out the efficacy of your intended security system.
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.
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.
