"Bryan D helped me with my new house alarm. Bryan was friendly and pleasant to work with. He took his time and listened to my needs for my desired level of security. (I am quite the paranoid person when it comes to home security!) He is extremely knowledgeable and was informative and thorough on all aspects of security, from the system functionality to do-it-yourself enhancements around my home. He gave me a ton of great advice and I feel 110% at ease with my security system! I highly recommend you work with Bryan at Alarm protect group!!"

"If you are thinking about getting solar, please stop and listen to my story. I was shopping around for solar companies and I decided to go with a friend of mine, Antoine Chandler (480-586-1802), because I know him and that he has integrity and would look out for my interests. He ran all the numbers to pick out the best system for me and he picked Our World Energy. Iâ m so grateful he did. We had a solar company, install solar for a hot water heater and for a pool pump already (they told us it would be for the whole house during our consultation and found out afterwards that that sales rep had lied. I also expressly told that company that I wanted the solar in the back of the house. They wanted it in the front so people would see it to advertise, and that is where they put it, after they promised me they would put it in the back-another lie.) My SRP bill went down for a little bit after I got the first solar installed, but it went right back up again so I hardly saved any money. When the new incentives came up from the government, I decided to look into solar again, because I knew that I could bring the SRP bill down low enough that I could pay for the solar and still save money with SRP. However, I needed to find a good company that was trustworthy and guaranteed their product. That is why I called Antoine Chandler. He got all my information and came over with a plan. He wanted to make sure that I got enough solar cells to cover all of my needs currently and in the future, while still allowing me to save money every month. He gave me an estimate from Our World Energy and we set a date for installation. When the installation day came, they discovered that there were several problems with my electrical lines that were going to delay the process for a while. Because this possibility was never discussed with me in the estimate, Our World Energy covered the entire cost of upgrading the equipment that we needed. They had to coordinate with the city to be able to work on the electrical lines and, of course, working with the city takes time. They coordinated everything themselves and updated me every step of the way of where we were in the project. Their communication was incredible! Because it took so long to get everything upgraded and set up so we could turn the system on. I wasnâ t saving any money for the first two months, but I had signed with the finance company so they were still charging me. Because they had promised me that I would start saving money from SRP to pay for the solar system every month, and I hadnâ t saved any money because the system couldnâ t be activated yet, they reimbursed me for the solar payment for the first two months! This isnâ t just the best solar company Iâ ve ever worked with; itâ s one of the best companies Iâ ve ever worked with, period. Given what a pain in the neck I know this project has been for them I am doubly impressed with their honesty, their integrity, and their customer service. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone who wants to get solar. They are amazing!"

"This was one of the few security companies willing to do an installation only job. The others wanted to add unneeded things to make it into a bigger job than it was. This company was honest and straightforward and I would recommend them to others."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.

You should always install cameras at exterior doors and windows. Other areas where you should place cameras are your front and back yards, the garage and driveway, common living areas, hallways and staircases, and the basement. Remember, you can start with a small Wi-Fi security camera system and always add more cameras if needed.

The main difference between different security sensor options is the type of motion each detects. A motion detector monitors obvious movements in hallways, entrances, and exits. On the other hand, a presence detector is more sensitive and captures smaller moves. A window sensor typically focuses on the opening and closing of the window, whereas a glass break sensor alarms you when a glass is broken.

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

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.
