"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."

"If you are looking for an honest, professional, and qualified company for a security system then give Harry a call. My wife and I had four cameras installed around my property and I am extremely glad I chose CSC Marketing. The cameras are top notch and fit well with the design of our house. Harry is such a great guy and hard worker, he installed the system in no time and throughly explained how it worked to my wife and I. We will definitely be calling him in the future for additional security needs."

"We needed to upgrade and replace our existing security cameras and recorder system and contacted multiple service providers, including ESS. ESS was extremely knowledgeable about different hardware/software providers and worked closely with us on multiple proposals, as we continued to uncover what our requirements were. The level of consulting and knowledge was very high and gave us a lot of confidence for a large project like this. The team was extremely detailed-oriented and professional for the install. They provided hands-on training for the system, followed up after the install, and we have been extremely happy with their work, the system and cameras they recommended and would highly recommend them to anyone."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

Any type of dead bolt lock provides the highest level of safety for a single device. However, it’s also important to determine a lock's grade. Locks can come in either Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3, which indicates how durable it is and if it’s constructed solidly. Safety experts recommend choosing locks based on Grade 1, which offers the highest level of durability.

One significant drawback of home automation is the increased risk of cybersecurity threats. With more connected devices in our homes, there's a greater chance that hackers might try to exploit vulnerabilities to access personal data or even control your devices. If you don't secure your smart gadgets properly, they can become entry points for cyberattacks, risking your privacy and safety. Moreover, technology isn't perfect. Sometimes, systems can malfunction or experience connectivity issues, disrupting your daily routines. The upfront cost of buying and installing smart devices can also be a hurdle for some people. 

You should be able to use your smart doorbell and access your video feed without a subscription. Subscriptions give you special features, such as night vision, downloading, and automatically saving footage for a set amount of days. It’s a good idea to compare plans among different providers before you commit. 

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.

Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.
