"James and Zach were fantastic. They installed a sound system for me with a lot of complications inherent to the project. They problem-solved their way through the 2-day effort with great attitudes and helpful explanations. As the project scaled up, they were sure to warn me about extra costs and get my approval. James reminded e to call if I had any questions or problems going forward. The system sounds great and I highly recommend Black Barrel. (Bowers and Wilkins and Sonos speakers, Marantz receiver, Audio Technica turntable, Panasonic BluRay and a 65? Sony Bravia TV)"

"Matt installed 3 wifi access points in my home. One of which required the ability to climb into a hole backwards while on all fours. All while wearing a tyvek suit and in hot temperatures. Matt was professional, on time, and was well prepared. Buy with confidence."

"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

When deciding whether a home automation system is right for you, consider the advantages and disadvantages first.

Pros

  • Home automation can help make your home more energy efficient, possibly lowering utility bills.

  • A wide range of automated solutions is available to meet your needs.

  • Centralized and remote control of different home automation systems.

Cons

  • Home automation can be costly.

  • Not all automated systems are compatible with each other.

  • Over-dependence on home automation can be problematic if systems cannot connect to the cloud.

Keyless locks are great for convenience, letting you unlock doors with a code or your phone so you don't need to carry keys around. They also often come with helpful features like temporary codes for guests. On the downside, they can be more costly up front and do require batteries that will eventually need replacing. If you value ease of use and additional security features, keyless locks are worth the investment.

Find a vetted and trusted locksmith to work on your home so you can feel comfortable and safe. Hire a professional with these qualifications:

  • Search a verified directory of locksmiths near you, like those on Angi. 

  • Check for an Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) logo on their website or company logo.

  • Read company reviews. You can also check their social media pages.

  • Ask for a pro’s credentials, insurance, licensure, and customer testimonials. 

  • Check if the locksmith is knowledgeable about various topics, from decorative locks to the newest technologies on the market.

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. 

Home security cameras typically do not record continuously 24/7. Most options use motion detection technology to trigger recording when they sense movement or a significant change in their field of view. This approach conserves storage space and reduces the need for constant monitoring. When motion is detected, the camera starts recording and may send alerts to the homeowner. However some cameras offer the option for continuous recording, but this requires substantial storage capacity and may overwrite older footage when space runs out.
