"Jeremy came out to my house to explain 1st Security's system (co-branded system with alarm.com), and gave me an amazingly good deal with the best pricing possible. The thing that amazed me was that 1st Security's pricing (both upfront equipment cost and the monthly monitoring charge, with full access to smart phone system) was LESS than the do-it-yourself options like FrontPoint. Yes--it was less than FrontPoint, even though 1st Security's pricing includes FULL installation by a professional (Larry, who was amazing--spent hours at my house making sure everything was right and teaching my husband and me how to use the system). Even more amazingly, 1st Security's monthly rate (again, less than FrontPoint) includes service, meaning that there is NO house-call charge, the way there was with my previous alarm company. If anything breaks, etc., they will come out and fix/replace it! Jeremy and Larry were both awesome--helpful, courteous, professional, prompt, etc. I highly HIGHLY recommend them and 1st Security. If you're thinking of going with a DIY alarm company to save money, don't bother--call 1st Security. They will also match other companies' prices!"

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

While many security cameras rely on an internet connection to transmit footage and store it in the cloud, not all of them stop working when the Wi-Fi is off. Some models are designed to function offline by using local storage options, such as a microSD card or a network-attached storage (NAS) device. These cameras can continue to record footage even without an internet connection. You can then access the stored data once the Wi-Fi is restored.

This is the topic of much debate, though there is no “better,” as it depends on personal preferences. Some of the components of a wireless system keep working when the power goes out, as they are battery-powered. On the other hand, a wireless system typically connects to your modem and router. Wired systems use landlines to communicate, which never go out on their own unless they’re physically cut.

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.

One significant drawback of home automation is the increased risk of cybersecurity threats. With more connected devices in our homes, there's a greater chance that hackers might try to exploit vulnerabilities to access personal data or even control your devices. If you don't secure your smart gadgets properly, they can become entry points for cyberattacks, risking your privacy and safety. Moreover, technology isn't perfect. Sometimes, systems can malfunction or experience connectivity issues, disrupting your daily routines. The upfront cost of buying and installing smart devices can also be a hurdle for some people. 

Security camera prices vary widely, with individual cameras typically ranging from $125 to $450 on average, not including professional installation costs. The camera's quality also impacts what you pay. Expect to pay more for desirable features, including a resolution of 1080p or higher, a field of view over 110 degrees, and enhanced night vision. Remember, your out-of-pocket installation cost will increase significantly when purchasing a complete system to cover your property inside and out.
