"I called Grant out for security camera installation & I was impressed by the amount of knowledge displayed about the camera system. Grant explained everything thoroughly & even went back to certain areas where I was struggling to understand things. Grant is seriously the best & if youâ re considering getting a new security system or maybe even some awesome audio systems for your home Grant is the man for you !"

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether a home automation system is right for you, consider the advantages and disadvantages first.

Pros

  • Home automation can help make your home more energy efficient, possibly lowering utility bills.

  • A wide range of automated solutions is available to meet your needs.

  • Centralized and remote control of different home automation systems.

Cons

  • Home automation can be costly.

  • Not all automated systems are compatible with each other.

  • Over-dependence on home automation can be problematic if systems cannot connect to the cloud.

Ultimately, the decision should align with your objectives. For general home security, visible cameras at entry points and high-traffic areas are recommended to deter intruders. In areas where privacy is a concern, use hidden cameras sparingly and within legal limits.

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

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.

Insurance companies weigh the amount of potential liabilities on your property to increase (or decrease) the cost of your home insurance. They will use several factors to decide if there are more chances for peril or injury to take place at your home. These factors include your location (whether you live in an area with high risk for natural disasters), the age and condition of your home, and whether you have any “attractive nuisances”—features that both increase the aesthetic of your home and potential for injury—like a pool or treehouse.
