"Bryan D helped me with my new house alarm. Bryan was friendly and pleasant to work with. He took his time and listened to my needs for my desired level of security. (I am quite the paranoid person when it comes to home security!) He is extremely knowledgeable and was informative and thorough on all aspects of security, from the system functionality to do-it-yourself enhancements around my home. He gave me a ton of great advice and I feel 110% at ease with my security system! I highly recommend you work with Bryan at Alarm protect group!!"

"I was very pleased with Shield Security of LV and Art! He spent time with my wife and I explaining our current system (hardwire by the previous owners) and what we could do to upgrade. He was very upfront about pricing, services, and was sure to give us plenty of time to ask questions. There was no sales tactics or "pushes" to sign-up. Once we decided we wanted to go with Shield, it was very easy to schedule installation. Installation took about four hours. Both Art and his co-worker were friendly, courteous, and respectful of our property. They took the time to explain the new panels and how to use the TotalConnect app on our phones. Art had mentioned to continue to reach out to him via phone/e-mail/text if we had any questions or concerns. If you're in the market for a new security system or want to upgrade an existing one, I would highly recommend Shield Security of the LV. They are friendly and knowledgeable. Their prices are reasonable and there are no contracts. I am happy to be a customer!"

"I have been thinking about home security for quite a while, but I was unsure as to what kind of equipment was right for my needs. When I first met with Larry from Safeway at my house, he spent time gathering information about what I wanted to accomplish. He kept my budget in mind and made appropriate suggestions for security and surveillance. Larry made good suggestions but did not pressure me to make expensive decisions. One week later, I had cameras, motion-sensing equipment, alarm system and hands-on instructions on how to access and use everything. I can monitor my home remotely, set the alarm remotely or in person, set for doors to sound an alarm in they are opened while I am at home and out in the yard, play and rewind video of my property, etc. All very easy to use and access without a complicated process. All equipment is discreet and unobtrusive. Larry installed everything himself rather than sending an unsupervised crew. He had to crawl around in a hot attic, find studs, drill holes for wiring and display panels, connect all of the equipment to a central hub and teach me how to use all of the installed equipment. He was patient, polite, helpful and respectful of my property and contents. He made several adjustments to exterior cameras to capture just the right angles. I would say he definitely went the extra mile, unlike some of those cookie cutter security companies that sell bundled services whether it fits your needs or not. I was fully impressed with Larry from Safeway, the beautiful equipment, the system access, the low monthly monitoring fee, and how quickly and efficiently everything was installed and up and running. I would highly recommend this company for residential or commercial security needs."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

While all security lighting systems offer different benefits, motion sensor security lights have the most advantages and the fewest cons for the average homeowner. While the upfront cost can be hefty, automatic, motion-detected activation will reduce your energy bills in the long run by ensuring the lights are only turned on when necessary. Plus, they’ll ward off intruders and help invited guests find their way onto your property in equal measure. 

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. 

To prevent false alarms, motion detectors need proper placement and settings. Start by installing them away from pets and windows where outside movement could set them off. Adjust the sensitivity settings to reduce the likelihood of it detecting minor motions. Consider using dual-tech sensors, for example passive infrared (PIR) and microwave technology, to improve accuracy and reduce false alarms. And don’t forget regular maintenance—cleaning the sensor and checking for any obstructions can go a long way in making sure your detectors run smoothly.

Whether a security system or security cameras is a better choice for you depends on your needs and preferred comfort level. A security system can cost more depending on the features you choose, but it’s a more proactive and protective approach to home security by alerting you and authorities of any emergencies. Using a security camera system is a more reactive approach because while you can monitor the camera footage, it does not alert the proper authorities for you.

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
