"SafeStreets’ alarm system is fantastic. The motion sensors, door/window contacts, and cameras work flawlessly. The home automation features are a huge plus—I can control everything from my phone. Highly recommend SafeStreets to anyone looking for reliable security."
"Last weekend had someone pry our side door open to our exterior garage and the ADT door sensor picked it up immediately. The alarm siren was loud and scared the person off. Someone from the response center called within 30 seconds. We’re fortunate that the security system did what it is supposed to. Feels like we made the right call going with an ADT security system."

"Delivery was delayed due to credit inquiry. After the concern was raised, shipment was rushed to us. Self installation didn't go as easy. Issue was resolved over the phone. The glass break sensor was a bit sensitive to loud noise such as cabinet door closing and door sensor repeatedly falls off and had to be reattached. Notification of alarm activation was fast and made to the right contact numbers. This prevented false alarm calls to the police."
"It's all very user friendly and reliable. Jeremy helped get us setup with our new system - he was great, very informative and candid. Larry came out and installed everything, and he was a pleasure. I totally recommend 1st Security USA to anyone in the Washington DC metro area."
"I switched from another company to Security One, they use the same equipment. They had to come out and recode everything. I simply switched because of the financial benefit. I have only had them for a few months, and I haven't had any problems with them. They save me some money every month. When my alarm went off, they did call me."
"CSI Secure Solutions were very prompt with their communication. The information given was what I requested. I found this investigative service very helpful and very professional. I would definitely use again in the future. "
"We like their service. We haven't had any problems. They are very good. This was the first time we've had an alarm/security system in our home. The supplier is ADT. I like that I can set my alarm every night before I go to bed."
"First the good: The up front cost cant be beat since all of the sensors and control panel were no cost to cover 20 doors and windows. Installation was pretty straight forward and the phone reps were fairly knowledgeable and professional. I added a couple features like an extra key pad, siren and glass break sensors that cost aprox $350. The extras were a little pricey but compared to the $2000 another provided quoted, it was still a deal. The control panel is cellular based so cutting your phone lines will not effect the alarm. Now the not so good: The quality of the sensors has not been very good. I have had 2 DOA when the packages arrived new and 2 failed within several days. When I contacted Protect America they were very nice about sending me new ones, but it took weeks and a couple calls before I saw the first replacements. The second set of replacements that arrived for the failed units ended up being the wrong sensors. Their shipping department does not seem to have good quality control. The next very annoying element is the wait time on the phone when you are trying to get anything set up. I spent a couple hours on hold working through the set up the first time and at least an hour the second time when I installed the replacement sensors. Some cautions; make sure you hide the main control panel because if an intruder disables it before the alarm has sounded for 60 seconds, the police may not be notified. Also they only call to check if everything is ok if the alarm is not canceled for 60 seconds. So you can not be sure if the signal is getting through. Monthly monitoring fee is high, but since the system was intially free, even after 3 years it is still the cheaper route. Now that I have the equipment, once our contract is expired I will find a different alarm provider that responds to every alarm. "
"They just kind of looked at the roof and said that everything was fine. It was just him coming him to the door and saying everything is fine. It's probably more money than I would have like to spend, I thought there would be things that he could fix but they had it done and it would have been a good deal. There wasn't anything to do, he was nice and said that everything was fine."
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.
A deadbolt differs from a regular lock in its design, construction, and security level. Regular locks are typically used for interior doors, such as for bedrooms and bathrooms, and provide minimal security. They are easy to install and use, often featuring a simple locking mechanism on the inside. In contrast, a deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on an exterior door. Its internal construction is designed to withstand significant force, adding a crucial layer of security that can deter intruders. While deadbolts may be more expensive and complicated to install, they are cost-effective for the security they provide and are built to hold up to wear and tear.
Yes, there are, and they often come with a screw set to ensure they stay secure. They run on batteries, depend on WiFi, and often require a WiFi extender. These typically cost less than $50. Doorbell cameras like these are great for renters who can't install a wired solution. However, a wired doorbell camera is a better choice for homeowners looking to invest wisely in home security.
The biggest downside to a wireless security camera is that it's 100% reliant on Wi-Fi to capture footage at your home. Even when Wi-Fi is reliable, the range for wireless cameras may only be 200 feet or less. Drywall, brick, and other materials in your home can be enough to make your signal lag.
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.
