"John from Computer Controlled Security personally came to my home for a free estimate. He was honest, trustworthy, and reliable. I was able to leave him in my home to work while I was at work, and thoroughly explained how to use the system without losing patience. He is always very responsive when I have questions and worked extremely efficiently. I love my cameras and alarm system and feel highly protected. I highly recommend Computer Controlled Security."

"We hired EZ Switch to install exterior CCTV security cameras on a residential property. Alex was very helpful in selecting a product to suit our needs and demonstrated a good working knowledge of products available. The installation was completed as scheduled, with good communication keeping me advised of the status of special order products. The project was completed on time, with particular attention paid to every detail. The personnel were courteous, professional and Alex was very innovative in suggesting different methods to route the cables into the interior of the house. I am very pleased with the quality of the work performed by EZ Switch and would highly recommend them."

"Lovo is an excellent group of electrical professionals. Professionals is the key word. Marcus came to my home to scope on the job on the same day that i requested a quote. The entire LOVO team has been easy to reach, anytime of night or day to answer my questions and the work was performed in a very high level of quality. Marcus quickly provided me renderings of the job that we tweeked many times to get the job. The job looks great and i don't think that i could have made a better selection of electrical and security contractors"

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

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).

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.

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.

Home security cameras typically do not record continuously 24/7. Most options use motion detection technology to trigger recording when they sense movement or a significant change in their field of view. This approach conserves storage space and reduces the need for constant monitoring. When motion is detected, the camera starts recording and may send alerts to the homeowner. However some cameras offer the option for continuous recording, but this requires substantial storage capacity and may overwrite older footage when space runs out.

There are a number of ways to secure windows. You can add motion detectors or window sensors to detect movement and impact or change the window locks to make them stronger. Some of the ways you can secure windows are much like how you secure a home: closing the curtains at night and setting up security cameras outside so you can monitor your property even in your absence.
