Q: How can I protect my AC unit from theft?

• <div><p>Your best bet is to install a bracket that secures to the bottom of the unit and the side of your house. You should still secure the AC unit in the open window using some of the other methods already listed, but a bracket is best to ensure that it stays put&mdash;both during operation and in case of an attempted theft.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a subscription to use a smart doorbell system?

• <div><p>You should be able to use your smart doorbell and access your video feed without a subscription.

It&rsquo;s a good idea to compare plans among different providers before you commit. </p></div>

Q: What are the best places to install Wi-Fi security cameras?

• <div><p>You should always install cameras at exterior doors and windows. Other areas <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/security-camera-placement">where you should place cameras</a> are your front and back yards, the garage and driveway, common living areas, hallways and staircases, and the basement. Remember, you can start with a small Wi-Fi security camera system and always add more cameras if needed. </p></div>

Q: Is there a difference between safe rooms and storm shelters?

• <div><p>Technically, there isn't a difference between safe rooms and storm shelters. Both are designed to protect you from storms and extreme weather events. People often use &ldquo;safe room&rdquo; when discussing a shelter inside a building and storm shelter when talking about a detached unit. </p><p>Additionally, a safe room is understood to have more functions than a storm shelter. You may seek shelter in a safe room when you believe an intruder is in the home or when under another type of threat. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to have a wireless or wired home security system?

• <div><p>There is no &ldquo;better&rdquo; option, as it depends on your personal preferences and home&rsquo;s needs. Wireless systems are much easier to install, making them DIY-friendly.
