"Andrew Brown from Alarm Protection Group facilitated the installation of our home security system. He was a very helpful and informative, and was not pushy, as with other ADT sales reps. He followed up with us after the system was installed to see if we had any questions or concerns re the system. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone who is interested in a home security system."

"Pro:
Universal came to our house within 4 hours of my call and was able to identify what was causing the hard-wired smoke detectors to go off in our house. The Electrician was very professional. He completed the job in less than an hour, identifying that an old security system was causing the problem. He then was able to seal off the smoke detector that was going off in just 5 minutes. We walked through our home trying to find any remaining smoke detectors for the electrician to seal off. He stated to me before he left that if I found anymore that we had missed, to just call and he would come back and complete the job.
Con:
I found one smoke detector that he had missed, and so called Universal to have the Electrician come back out and complete the job. The man I spoke to was very rude on the phone, and told me that the electrician did not have the "ok" to tell me that Universal would come back and "complete the job." The man on the phone told me that he would charge me an additional $70 for the Electrician to come back to my house for the 5 minutes that it would take to seal off the remaining smoke detector. While I do understand that their labor/time is money--I did not appreciate the rudeness displayed on the phone call, nor did I appreciate the quote of $70, which was the same amount I paid for the original visit, which included much more than the 5 minutes to seal off a smoke detector. I will not be using this company again.

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

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

Smart deadbolts are a worthwhile investment for homeowners seeking more convenience, flexibility, and advanced features than a traditional deadbolt can provide. While a strong conventional deadbolt offers sufficient security for most, smart deadbolts provide significant upgrades.

Key benefits include keyless entry via smartphone, keypads, or biometric sensors, and the ability to lock or unlock your door remotely. You can also manage access for guests by creating temporary codes, eliminating the need for physical keys and the risk of them being lost or duplicated. Many models integrate with smart home systems and offer features like automatic locking, entry-exit monitoring, and tamper alerts with encryption for enhanced security.

However, there are downsides to consider. Smart deadbolts are more expensive than their traditional counterparts and rely on batteries and wireless networks to function. This dependency introduces potential vulnerabilities, such as hacking by skilled intruders and privacy concerns. Installation can also be more complex. Despite these drawbacks, the added layer of convenience and protection makes them a compelling option for many.

Some but not all security cameras have monthly fees, depending on the specific camera system and the services offered with it, especially monitored vs. unmonitored security systems. Home security companies that offer monitoring services along with cameras will charge a monthly fee for monitoring and possibly for using the security cameras. Cameras that you monitor yourself as part of your own security system will not have monthly fees charged.

Not all security systems are equal, so familiarize yourself with the many features available and any associated costs. Decide on a wireless or wired system and look at monthly subscription fees to access the service. Finally, read plenty of reviews to check out the efficacy of your intended security system.

The average cost to install a home security system is about $750. However, the price can range from as little as $200 for a simple wireless camera setup to $2,000 for a fully monitored, hardwired system. A typical price range is $280 to $1,150. Several factors determine the final cost, including the type of system, equipment, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly surveillance fees, and permits. Optional upgrades will also add to the price, such as video surveillance monitoring ($40–$65 per month), smart locks ($150), smart lighting ($15–$90), smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarms ($35–$100), and a smart thermostat ($130–$500).
