Avidia is a Chicagoland based home automation company serving the Northshore and surrounding areas. We have over 20 years of experience in design, installation and service of home systems including custom home theater systems, A/V Distribution, Control 4 systems and electronic home management. Our Business Division also offers solutions in HD Surveillance, IP Phone Systems, Access Control, Computer Networking and Security.

"Long story short, Avidia installs garbage tech and significantly hikes your purchase price of that garbage tech to make a ridiculous profit. Their installation work is also extremely shoddy, at best. Longer story: Had two friends who hired Avidia, both are fairly wealthy and not educated regarding tech. They had both recommended Avidia to me. I had asked Avidia for an estimate to wire and install tech throughout our new home. Their estimate was north of $80k. I had agreed to let them to do the initial wiring for $5k. The work they did was the following: 1) installed CAT 5 wiring instead of CAT 6. 2) They had failed to install the wiring in the correct location (was supposed to be under the stairs vs. the mechanical room on the other side of the house). 3) The wires were cut short by 10 feet, which required EVERY wire to be spliced instead of having one full line to the end. 4) Some of those spliced wires didn't work and almost half were mislabeled, which caused havoc when third-party vendors (like Comcast) had to come out and set things up. 5) Finally, Avidia complained that I was delaying payment until the wires were spliced and work was completed. After the first traunch of work looked to be so questionable, I had a close friend, who does all the IT work for a Fortune 100 company here in Chicago, review their estimate north of $80k and list of tech for my home. He told me that it was quite clear that Avidia was installing only the bare minimum quality TVs, speakers, wiring, etc. and marking up the hardware to ridiculous profits, considering I could purchase higher quality tech at much cheaper prices. With this information, I asked my friend to drive over to my two other friends' houses to review the work Avidia had completed there. Again, he pointed out each and every mistake, focusing also on the installed tech, which was the worst versions to be installed (the wiring disallowed any future upgrade since the wiring was specific only to that particular tech--speakers, TVs, etc.). The owners were pretty ****** off because they said they had never been told of the limiting factors of what was installed. The TVs that Avidia installed were also some of the worst (luckily the owners just replaced them after seeing my Sony OLED, which cost less than what Avidia had charged for their garbage, smaller HDTVs). At any rate, after getting an estimate north of $80k from Avidia, I went with a friend of mine who did all the work that Avidia was going to do but with MUCH higher quality equipment, and it only cost $38k total. Whenever I hear that anyone is considering Avidia, I always tell them this story. Buyer beware. Their entire business model is to jack prices on unsuspecting homeowners. They put on a great show in their show room, but that certainly comes at a price. Luckily, I only lost $5k to them. And they bought this review for it. If you're clueless about tech, feel free to get a quote from Avidia, but I strongly suggest that you get a second and even third opinion. I cringe every time I think about that experience and my friends' experiences. Don't let the same thing happen to you. Do your homework and you'll save a considerable amount (with better tech)."

FAQs for home security system service projects in Crystal Lake, IL

The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits. Additional features and upgrades may include:

  • Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month

  • Smart home locks: $150

  • Smart home lighting: $15–$90

  • Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100

  • Smart thermostat: $130–$500

Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.

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

Whether a security system or security cameras is a better choice for you depends on your needs and preferred comfort level. A security system can cost more depending on the features you choose, but it’s a more proactive and protective approach to home security by alerting you and authorities of any emergencies. Using a security camera system is a more reactive approach because while you can monitor the camera footage, it does not alert the proper authorities for you.

Understanding the pros and cons of installing a home security system is the first step to deciding which one is right for you. A few of the advantages and disadvantages include:

Pros

  • Added security for your household

  • Reduced home insurance premiums

  • Many smart home integrations available

  • Security companies can monitor your home 

Cons

  • Expensive setup costs 

  • Subscription costs can add up quickly

  • Features may be vulnerable to hackers

  • Weak signal reduces the security of a wireless system
