"SafeStreets’ alarm system is fantastic. The motion sensors, door/window contacts, and cameras work flawlessly. The home automation features are a huge plus—I can control everything from my phone. Highly recommend SafeStreets to anyone looking for reliable security."
"Last weekend had someone pry our side door open to our exterior garage and the ADT door sensor picked it up immediately. The alarm siren was loud and scared the person off. Someone from the response center called within 30 seconds. We’re fortunate that the security system did what it is supposed to. Feels like we made the right call going with an ADT security system."

"Delivery was delayed due to credit inquiry. After the concern was raised, shipment was rushed to us. Self installation didn't go as easy. Issue was resolved over the phone. The glass break sensor was a bit sensitive to loud noise such as cabinet door closing and door sensor repeatedly falls off and had to be reattached. Notification of alarm activation was fast and made to the right contact numbers. This prevented false alarm calls to the police."
"I switched from another company to Security One, they use the same equipment. They had to come out and recode everything. I simply switched because of the financial benefit. I have only had them for a few months, and I haven't had any problems with them. They save me some money every month. When my alarm went off, they did call me."
"CSI Secure Solutions were very prompt with their communication. The information given was what I requested. I found this investigative service very helpful and very professional. I would definitely use again in the future. "
"That's the name I am vaguely familiar with; it's a home security company that is license to ADT franchise or dealer if I am correct. They were very good. They were prompt; they were quality. The individuals move their business. They were very timely and it was a good experience."
"Yvette Pringle provided courteous and professional feedback to me when I called to inquire about a new home security system. My situation was unique because we were trying to find something that would work for a deaf person. I appreciated that Yvette did her research to find out what would work. She also offered different options in terms of a package and plan. We did end up going with another company, but I really did want to recognize Yvette for her work. She was very polite and helpful. "
"Professional, friendly, courteous and on time! Doug came in to our home and we addressed the problem we were having with our sliding door, and within minutes he addressed what was wrong and told us what he could do to repair it. He was very honest, took the door apart and cleaned it up and it works like new! We were thinking of replacing it, but he advised against it. You don't meet to0 many handymen like that anymore. We could've easily spent over $1000.00 dollars on a new door plus labor. We highly recommend him for any other project. As a matter of fact he's doing some other projects for us in the future! Unbelievable. Very impressed.~Vincent & Heather-Boise, ID."
"Amazing! Mike came out for a quote and was able to service the same day for the doggie door. He did great work and was very meticulous with details. He was able to recommend placement of the door and was helpful in purchasing a high quality doggie door. We would highly recommend Mike. He will be doing more work for us in the future."
A deadbolt differs from a regular lock in its design, construction, and security level. Regular locks are typically used for interior doors, such as for bedrooms and bathrooms, and provide minimal security. They are easy to install and use, often featuring a simple locking mechanism on the inside. In contrast, a deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on an exterior door. Its internal construction is designed to withstand significant force, adding a crucial layer of security that can deter intruders. While deadbolts may be more expensive and complicated to install, they are cost-effective for the security they provide and are built to hold up to wear and tear.
Options include wired or wireless systems with night vision and motion detection.
It is possible to spend only $30 on a camera that can cover one particular area. You wouldn't need to buy software, hardware, cables, or anything else. Instead, it would connect wirelessly to an app on your phone where you could monitor the feed and take necessary actions at your own discretion.
It depends on your specific needs. A security system typically includes alarms, sensors for windows and doors , and 24/7 monitoring services, offering comprehensive protection with immediate response to potential threats. Cameras, on the other hand, primarily provide visual surveillance and evidence collection. A security system is preferable if your primary concern is deterring intruders and receiving real-time alerts. Cameras are ideal for monitoring and recording activities but might offer a different level of active protection. In many cases, a combination of both—a security system with integrated cameras—provides the most robust home security solution, offering prevention and documentation.
Your best bet is to install a bracket that secures to the bottom of the unit and the side of your house. You should still secure the AC unit in the open window using some of the other methods already listed, but a bracket is best to ensure that it stays put—both during operation and in case of an attempted theft.
