"Great experience with nighthawk! I purchased my own security cameras and needed help installing them. The technician was super knowledgeable, professional, and worked quickly. The job was done perfectly (and I’m sure it was a challenge - we live in a super old house!!). He made it seem easy! Highly recommend and will definitely be going to them for any future needs."

"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."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

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

This is the topic of much debate, though there is no “better,” as it depends on personal preferences. Some of the components of a wireless system keep working when the power goes out, as they are battery-powered. On the other hand, a wireless system typically connects to your modem and router. Wired systems use landlines to communicate, which never go out on their own unless they’re physically cut.

You likely can reset your house alarm without the code, but it depends on many factors like how it’s wired and whether or not there’s a default reset code. Most companies make bypassing a security alarm without entering your code challenging to prevent burglars from simply resetting the alarm during a break-in. Your best bet is to contact your alarm company directly to get specialized support for your situation. 

But, while you wait for support, you can disconnect it from the power source to stop the alarm from going off.

Installing a gate on your property is often a worthwhile investment, despite the initial expense. Gates enhance your home's curb appeal and can increase its property value, making them more attractive to potential homebuyers. They provide significant security benefits by keeping out unwanted guests and increasing privacy for your household. Additionally, a gate can help keep children and pets safely contained in your yard.

For driveway gates, automatic versions are particularly convenient and tend to add more value than manual ones. The choice of gate material also plays a role in both aesthetic appeal and security. Beyond driveways, side gates can improve accessibility to your rear yard, making the outdoor space more usable. Overall, whether for security, safety, or aesthetics, installing a gate is a valuable addition to a property.

Costs depend on system type, labor rates, and additional features like smart integration or professional monitoring.
