"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!"

"Juan did a great job with mounting a large number of blinds in some challenging window openings that I had been struggling with. He is also a very nice guy, and I will be using his services again (likely for doorbell camera systems in the near future). I would highly recommend him."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

You'll likely need more than great home staging to sell your home. Now is a great time to get to work on the curb appeal of your home . Hire local exterior painters and landscapers to coat the exterior of your home and bring it new life with some sprucing up.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

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).

The best window alarm sensor depends on the type of window you’re concerned about since different types of sensors will work best in different scenarios. Many homes are equipped with contact sensors, which trigger an alarm when a window is opened, and each part of the sensor breaks contact with the other. But there are other options, too, like a glass break sensor or motion sensor, which both work well for windows that are in low-traffic areas.

It is possible to spend only $30 on a camera that can cover one particular area. You wouldn't need to buy software, hardware, cables, or anything else. Instead, it would connect wirelessly to an app on your phone where you could monitor the feed and take necessary actions at your own discretion.
