"I used to work in the security industry. Once I got married and had kids I definitely wanted a home security system. Bought ADT about a month ago and it’s worked out excellent. No glitches or issues and everyone was awesome in the buying and activation process."

"Great. Mr. Chapman of Abstract LLC went above my expectations. He restored my old (2016) camera, DVR, and monitor security system. He purchased a new box (DVR), corrected a faulty camera hook up, and restored the pictures to the monitor. He installed an app on my cell phone so I can monitor activity around the house from anywhere I am. He also installed a Kami inside motion detector that I had been procrastinating about since 2023 and placed it on my cell phone. He is very knowledgeable about security systems and software programs"

"I would not hesitate to recommend MSI to anyone needing to have security cameras or alarms installed in their home. They always arrived at the time that was specified which was 0830. On their first attempt to install the cameras it was raining profusely but they tried to install them anyway. However, at one point it became to dangerous and they had to stop and reschedule the installment. Nigel Frazier and his team are very professional and knowledgeable about the security system that they install. I'm very pleased with their professionalism and reliability."

"Great company to deal with. Totally customer focused. My wife was not comfortable with me installing our security system myself, so internet based alarm companies were a no go. I contacted our existing company, Vector, Vivant, ADT & 1st Security. I met with all of the reps. Jeremy from 1st Security came to our home right away to conduct a detailed security assessment. He listened to our needs and our concerns with our existing landline based security system (through Vector), and he designed an effective yet practical and affordable set up for our home. Their prices cannot be beat- trust me I did my homework. Larry came to install the new security system and he was also great to deal with. Knowledgeable and patient- he took his time to explain how the system worked and gave us his cell # in case we had any issues. Kudos to 1st Security USA! Great folks doing business the way it should be done- honest and professional. I will be spreading the word"

"They gave us the best rate and the setup was great for ADT system. The installer did have to tell us about other options that would cost more money but he did not pressure us when we declined. We had door, window and motion detectors included. They gave us a week to practice on the new system, but we could call if we were ready to go live sooner which we did. Set up was quick, easy and uneventful. Very nice installer, Phillip Brown. The cost was quoted at a low price, but the bill came from ADT and was much higher. We were told the contract to ADT did not catch up and we will be getting the lower price with a reimbursement for the excess of the first bill. We did the $99 install and are getting a $100 gift card back. 3 year contract is a little annoying but we plan to stay here for a long time."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

Changing the alarm in your wireless security system is a perfectly reasonable DIY task that most people can complete on their own. Simply open the system’s control panel, remove the existing battery, and replace it with a new one. If you’re using a wired system, this may require disconnecting and reconnecting both the positive and negative wires attached to the battery, and you may want to call in a professional to help. 

A security camera company will be able to advise you on where to position the cameras, ensure all of the equipment is set up properly, and do all of the installations. They’ll take factors into consideration that a non-professional might not automatically consider, like obstacles that could block a potential trespasser from the camera or how lighting may obstruct the view.

Yes, these services often increase home value by preventing moisture-related issues and enhancing the usable space in basements or crawlspaces.

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to. 

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.
