Tech was extremely rude. Took one very quick look at our system, said it was poorly installed, and would require many hours of labor to figure out how to make it work (at $100+ per hour). Recommended we call his sales department because it would be cheaper to install a new system than have him figure out our current one. He was also very rude when my wife asked him to speak to me on the phone to explain the issue. He left after unplugging our alarm system. We called another company. They had our entire system up and running in 15 minutes with no concerns or problems. Told us it was a reasonably comprehensive set up, and all tested all the doors and windows(everything was working fine). Just needed to change out old smoke detectors.

After briefing him on a persistant graphics card issue with my PC, I left him alone and he went about testing and updating all likely components for answers to the problem. At the same time, he ran 2 separate malware scans on suspicion that my reliance on MicroSoft Security Essentials solely was still allowing undesirable software to get through. Results from the scans showed significant malware intrusion and I know now to cross-check with 2 or 3 different anti-virus/malware programs once a month for much better security. At the end of 2 hours, Randy presented me with a system report showing graphics hardware and drivers now working normally which was a great relief. Before leaving, he also gave a few tips on how to make my wireless network better and at less cost - always appreciated!

Really nice BUT.......I deleted the prewired interior camera and opted for a new wireless out door not prewired camera - Installer gave two lousy options regarding mounting camera outside which were to mount camera in a position where someone could actually evade the camera and only capture the back side of the head and to plug in the transformer into an outside outlet right by the front door. OR drill into the stone work or plank siding at the side of the house and fish a line into the garage to plug in a cord 6 feet down the wall from the camera on the outside to get power. Tech was definitely not prepared or willing for that. Got burned by ADT and now entering into another overpriced 3 year contract which will pay for the system 3 times over. Sales person not very keen on providing information on the camera install -just seemed happy to make the sale. He meant well, but it seemed to be a pattern and common outcome based on conversations with installer a major break down of communication between sales and field tech who gets stuck with the customer after the sale. Not impressed. Also I asked the alarm sales person to have the Home Theater group give me a call. The home is pre wired for additional sound system and I wanted to integrate my existing system (upgrade) But, After two weeks, no call. I had to remind the sales rep again after signing the paperwork for the alarm to have them give me a call. So I get a call from Dave and he was about as interested as a door knob to do anything as I explained I had a system and wanted to integrate but he said they do not deal with customers existing equipment- company advertises the fact that they do Home Theater - Well they obviously do so - as long as you buy an entirely new one -they just will not will not touch existing equipment only interested in the sale - the house is pre wired for technology package for sound but after two weeks and little inspiration, they sent me a quote to upgrade the entire system with their own for over 2k. and that is with an 800 dollar discount if I buy the whole system.

FAQs for home security system service projects in Ames, TX
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
With the popularity of DIY security cameras and video surveillance systems, it’s important to understand the benefits and potential drawbacks to decide if it’s the right choice for you. Advantages and disadvantages include:
Pros
Video footage readily available
Reduced home insurance
Save on labor costs by installing security cameras yourself
Wireless systems are easy to move and set up
Monitor from your smartphone
Avoid false alarms
Cons
Features may be vulnerable to hackers
No direct link to authorities
Risk of installing the system improperly, reducing its effectiveness
Whether a security system or security cameras is a better choice for you depends on your needs and preferred comfort level. A security system can cost more depending on the features you choose, but it’s a more proactive and protective approach to home security by alerting you and authorities of any emergencies. Using a security camera system is a more reactive approach because while you can monitor the camera footage, it does not alert the proper authorities for you.
Understanding the pros and cons of installing a home security system is the first step to deciding which one is right for you. A few of the advantages and disadvantages include:
Pros
Added security for your household
Reduced home insurance premiums
Many smart home integrations available
Security companies can monitor your home
Cons
Expensive setup costs
Subscription costs can add up quickly
Features may be vulnerable to hackers
Weak signal reduces the security of a wireless system
