"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."

"Both the owner, who came out to look over our needs, and the technician, who set up the system, were very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. We've only just gotten the system, so I can't comment on its effectiveness yet, but our experience so far has been positive."

"We were with another monitoring company and Lloyd Security helped us throughout the transition and even sent the cancellation request for us. They made sure that careful attention was given to the aesthetics of the installation because we did not want wires to show or have extra holes drilled. They showed up when expected and completed the job the same day as promised. It's nice to deal with a business that is not only courteous, but prompt, careful and knowledgable."

"It went great!  From Travis the sales person to Noah the installer I couldn't have asked for a more professional and through team to deliver my home security needs.  We just bought a new house in a neighborhood that's up and coming but there's still an element that we want to protect our home and valuable from.  Security One helped us find a system that we could monitor while we're away and that would make my girlfriend feel safe when I'm not a home.  We highly recommend them especially Travis and Noah.  Ask for them by name!

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

The cost of home automation averages around $1,000, with most projects falling between $200 and $2,000. The total cost depends on several factors, including the level of automation, brand, system features, home size, and location. For a DIY approach, basic home automation technology can cost between $100 and $500, though the scope and interaction between products may be limited. High-end, all-inclusive systems for larger homes can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, especially when they include smart appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers that require extensive wiring. Additional costs, such as subscriptions for maintenance services, can also impact the total price. It's often helpful to set a budget and consult with an expert to determine the best options for your home.

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.

Grounding is a great first step to prevent electrical shock, but you can take it further with GFCI outlets and AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters). In particular, AFCIs help protect against the type of electrical arcs that cause fires, like if a mouse chews on a wire or your laptop starts overheating at the wall. These are required in some areas of your home.

A keypad deadbolt, a lock requiring a code entered on a keypad entry, can be a convenient option for families with children coming in and out and needing access to the home. It can also offer an easy solution if you rent your home out, since you can easily change the code as needed. So, depending on your home entry’s needs, a keypad deadbolt may be worth the extra expense.

Hiring a professional ensures optimal camera placement, secure installation, and integration with existing security systems. Professionals ensure reliable operation and can offer system customization to suit specific security needs or preferences.
