"This Company is Incredible... Tom came out and mounted 3 Tv's, . & did it perfectly.. He is very professional, , knowledgeable, on time and overall fantastic.. I can not say enough good things about Tom and this company.. He also came back a 2nd time (though he did not have to) and help me learn how to program and use my remotes. In this day and age it is very hard to find good service and quality people who actually care about the customer.. I know the highest rating on this site is a 5 star But I would give Steadfast Systems & Thomas a 10 star rating if i was allowed too!! Great Service, Great Company and a Great guy.. I already referred him to my neighbor and he fixed their TV right on the spot. I will definite use them for sound and security systems when we get finished moving in.. My Hats off to Steadfast Systems and Thomas.. 10 stars! I 'm so glad I found them, .."

"Yesterday I called Mike while our local firemen were at my house for an emergency. He came straight over and arrived within 20 minutes. He discovered my issue was a Delmarva Power issue as my house was not receiving adequate power. Delmarva Power technician discovered a break in our underground wires. I am thankful for Mike coming so quickly and being professional during such a chaotic time for us. I will be calling Mike this week to schedule additional work to our home and will call him with any electrical needs in the future. Thank you, Mike!"

"Amazing system! Did a lot of research on alarm systems....so glad I went with 1st security! They came to my house and explained everything to me, were not pushy at all. Came and installed the system a few days later....took the time to explain everything to me and did an amazing job with the installation. And the price is excellent, both the installation fee and the month to month. So happy with my decision."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

Window security film won’t prevent break-ins or stop your window from shattering from impact during extreme weather like hurricanes or tornadoes. However, applying security film is relatively inexpensive, and it can make breaking into your home significantly harder—often hard enough to deter burglars entirely—and keep your window from shattering on your floor after impact. For these reasons, window security film is often a worthwhile investment that helps protect your property.

Technically, there isn't a difference between safe rooms and storm shelters. Both are designed to protect you from storms and extreme weather events. People often use “safe room” when discussing a shelter inside a building and storm shelter when talking about a detached unit. 

Additionally, a safe room is understood to have more functions than a storm shelter. You may seek shelter in a safe room when you believe an intruder is in the home or when under another type of threat. 

Security cameras do not need wiring if they are wireless, meaning they are battery-operated and can connect through Wi-Fi. You’ll need to change the batteries on a wireless camera and ensure you have a steady connection to Wi-Fi for video storage. If you have a wired security camera, you’ll need to plug it into an outlet or other power source and a DVR device.

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.

In general, daytime visibility for security cameras ranges from 10 to 70 feet. Higher-end cameras may have night vision that records 100 to 200 feet out. When shopping for any type of security camera, it's important to pay attention to focal length, resolution, and infrared technology to get an idea of the depth and crispness that will be used when capturing images.
