"I don't think I could ever say enough good things about Shield Security and Art. Got a text message that my security system wasn't connecting via cellular and were concerned that if something happened it wouldn't dial in. Had no idea anything was wrong. Fixed almost immediately with a home visit. When problems are fixed that you don't even know exist I wish there were an A+ rating option."
"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."
"I recently had 1st Security install a system in my new house and so far have been very pleased with all aspects of the system, from the initial estimate to the installation to the functioning of the system itself. Jeremy did our initial estimate and provided us with a thorough explanation of the system. I already had done a significant amount of research comparing Alarm.com to ADT and some of the self-install options, but Jeremy was able to provide even more information and help me to understand better the pros and cons of each approach. Larry did our installation and also was very friendly and knowledgeable, explaining each step of the installation process and providing me with a tutorial at the end. My wife and I have had no issues with the system so far. It is very intuitive, and we have been able to customize it to fit our unique needs. I highly recommend considering 1st Security for anyone looking at installing, switching, or upgrading their security system."
"We have our second home in the mountain so they were able to send it and he was able to work with our installers and it worked out fine. So far we were are pleased with it. We were with another security system for 12 years and we changed because their selection of product was of a higher grade. They are excellent."
"After researching the myriad of available options for home security, which also included complaint/resolution research at the BBB, I was most pleased to find that ProTecht stood out as being the most customer friendly of our security considerations, as well as being a local company, of which is comforting as I knew that if I were to have any questions or concerns, that I would not be routed to a call center outside of the US, which is quite difficult, at times. Contacting ProTecht via telephone to the Avon, Indiana location resulted in the owner, Theo Garber, taking the call, being most helpful, and scheduling an appointment quite quickly. Theo arrived right on time, and possibly, a bit sooner. Explanation of the products available and application according to our needs was explained quite well; Theo patiently answered all of our questions and concerns and at no point did we ever feel as if any of our questions were silly, as Theo patiently listened and patiently answered our questions. After the assessment for equipment and security, an appointment was scheduled for installation, of which Theo called prior to arrival and arrived on time, or even possibly sooner. Upon installation, it was determined by all that some additions and deletions were in order, of which Theo was quite flexible with options and helpful with his input. It seems to be the goal of Theo to assure that the customer is happy and comfortable with the security system and spends as much time as is needed to assure the comfort level of the customer. After completion of the installation, Theo patiently explained the workings and variances of the system, assuring that we were comfortable with the operations. As well, Theo stated that we could call him if we had any questions or concerns. In regards to the price of the security system, given that we had changes/alterations during installation, the price would go up a bit and down a bit with the end result being much the same as the original quote. Much to Theo's credit, when the price went down, it still seemed to be Theo's focus on customer satisfaction and comfort, as well as the best security option, rather that losing a few extra dollars. Theo spent alot of time with us, from initial assessment to installation to all of our questions. I would recommend Theo to anyone. "
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.
DIY is possible for wireless cameras, but professionals ensure optimal angles, security integration, and network stability.
Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.
Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.
Professionals optimize camera placement, integrate recording systems, and ensure tamper-proof security.
