"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."

"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."

I originally called ADT Security to set up a system in my home and was sub contracted out to Protect Your Home which is but ISN'T ADT. I greatly feel like I was rushed through my phone call and things were not clearly explained. My home owners insurance actually went up! USAA is supposed to get a discount with ADT however since it was subcontracted out without my realization I will not be receiving a discount on my monthly bill. They push PULSE like nothing else and make you feel like you are basically under attack. "What if the phone lines are cut?"  I wasn't aware when I had my install done that I would be paying about $500 for the equipment till after it had been put on. I am overall frustrated beyond belief thinking here I had security done for the betterment of my home insurance and that because I was "using" a company USAA recommends I was going to be getting a great deal and it would be a win win situation. Little did I know I would feel like I had been duped and double talked. I am not a happy customer at all. That said the install guy was great and nice I would just make sure YOU really NEED the security as I have found it may not be all it is cracked up to be and then you are stuck in a contract and hundreds of dollars invested.

"They system was installed for the basic, but anything that you wanted needed to be higher upgraded require alot of extra money for every upgrade.
 The 36.99 monthly fee was for only if your system is connected to a landline. I didnnt notice that they charge me $44.99 until my 1st month fee. Thats when I was told that they charge $44.99 because the alram was connected to my cable line instead. I was unaware of the different charges. When tec came out he didnt show up to fix the corrected. Had to call the main company for the no show. So they schedule another appointment and offered 2 window alarms to fix the correction but my bill still is $44.99. Default is that since I didnt have extra money to upgrade to the Pulse, you dont know if you turn the alarm to your house properly. I called the 800 number and they cant tell either!

"Jason Miller of Safe Streets was absolutely amazing, He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. I am a retired senior who has never had a home security system. Jason was patient and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. I highly recommend Safe Streets and Jason Miller."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

It is possible to spend only $30 on a camera that can cover one particular area. You wouldn't need to buy software, hardware, cables, or anything else. Instead, it would connect wirelessly to an app on your phone where you could monitor the feed and take necessary actions at your own discretion.

A study from the University of North Carolina found that security system signs were one of the top ten deterrents for burglars when choosing a target, so they do have some effect. However, you can get into legal trouble for putting up fake signage, so it’s best only to put up signs when you have the alarms to back them up.

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe, and their security depends on the type and quality of the lock. They cannot be picked like a traditional lock and often include added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, which can make them more secure. However, they are not without risks. Potential vulnerabilities include hacking for Wi-Fi-connected models, battery failure, power outages, and technical malfunctions. To maximize security, it is important to choose a reliable brand, stay on top of software updates, and perform regular maintenance. While the risks are different, keyless locks are not considered more dangerous than traditional locks.

The best window alarm sensor depends on the type of window you’re concerned about since different types of sensors will work best in different scenarios. Many homes are equipped with contact sensors, which trigger an alarm when a window is opened, and each part of the sensor breaks contact with the other. But there are other options, too, like a glass break sensor or motion sensor, which both work well for windows that are in low-traffic areas.

The biggest downside to a wireless security camera is that it's 100% reliant on Wi-Fi to capture footage at your home. Even when Wi-Fi is reliable, the range for wireless cameras may only be 200 feet or less. Drywall, brick, and other materials in your home can be enough to make your signal lag.
