"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."
"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."
"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. "
Standard residential deadbolt locks come with a steel bolt that locks your door into place using a key (or keypad) on one side and a thumb turn on the other. When you lock it, the bolt slides into a strike plate on your door jamb to secure your door shut.
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.
A security camera company will be able to advise you on where to position the cameras, ensure all of the equipment is set up properly, and do all of the installations. They’ll take factors into consideration that a non-professional might not automatically consider, like obstacles that could block a potential trespasser from the camera or how lighting may obstruct the view.
It depends on the type of sensor your home security system uses. If it’s a motion detector, any moving thing could set it off, from a roaming pet to a wind-blown curtain. Contact sensors would be triggered by the window being opened or moved. Also, be aware that any sensors placed too close to your vents could trigger false alarms whenever your heat or air conditioning is running.
Not all security systems are equal, so familiarize yourself with the many features available and any associated costs. Decide on a wireless or wired system and look at monthly subscription fees to access the service. Finally, read plenty of reviews to check out the efficacy of your intended security system.
