"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

There is no “better” option, as it depends on your personal preferences and home’s needs. Wireless systems are much easier to install, making them DIY-friendly. Wired systems offer a more reliable connection that is not tied to a router, but they typically require professional installation.

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.

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).

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.

The cost of home automation averages around $1,000, with most projects falling between $200 and $2,000. The total cost depends on several factors, including the level of automation, brand, system features, home size, and location. For a DIY approach, basic home automation technology can cost between $100 and $500, though the scope and interaction between products may be limited. High-end, all-inclusive systems for larger homes can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, especially when they include smart appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers that require extensive wiring. Additional costs, such as subscriptions for maintenance services, can also impact the total price. It's often helpful to set a budget and consult with an expert to determine the best options for your home.
