Q: Which is better, a wireless or wired alarm system?

• <div><p>This is the topic of much debate, though there is no &ldquo;better,&rdquo; 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&rsquo;re physically cut. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a smart doorbell?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/keyless-lock-good-regular-deadbolt.htm">smart doorbells</a> offer security and convenience, they come with disadvantages. Most non-wired options rely on a stable internet connection, making them vulnerable to outages. The same applies to wired devices that depend on power, but most models have a backup battery. There is also the privacy issue, as these devices constantly capture video and audio around the front door, which could be a pro or con. Considering these factors is essential before moving forward with installation.</p></div>

Q: What happens to smart locks when Wi-Fi goes out?

• <div><p>Many smart locks can work without Wi-Fi, but if the Wi-Fi or internet connection goes out it can limit controlling the lock through the app or using all of its available features. If the Wi-Fi does go out, many of today&rsquo;s smart locks have the option of working via Bluetooth or other backup options.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when making my home accessible?

• <div><p>These are some of the critical considerations when planning to make your home accessible:</p><ul><li><p>How wide are your doorways, wheelchair ramps, hallways, and pathways? These should be at least 32 inches wide.</p></li><li><p>Which bathroom modifications will be necessary? </p></li><li><p>Do you need to lower any cabinetry or other fixtures to make them accessible for wheelchair users?</p></li><li><p>Is there enough room to turn around in the shower?</p></li><li><p>Is there a second story of the home that requires a stair lift?</p></li><li><p>Is there proper lighting outside in the dark? If not, a floodlight may be necessary.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is smart lock safer than traditional lock?

• <div><p>A smart lock is a variation of a traditional lock, and since it uses similar locking mechanisms, it&rsquo;s technically not any safer. The difference is that a smart lock requires a login instead of a physical key. Some smart locks have added safety features, like shutting down after too many attempts with the wrong code. Some smart locks are considered harder to pick than traditional locks, which can further deter intruders.</p></div>

Prompt, professional service. Couldn't have asked for better help to resolve a number of troubling issues with plumbing at home, some of which had been worked on before by others not quite as professional. Excellent work, and this includes the office staff who worked to schedule everything.
