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.

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts
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—both during operation and in case of an attempted theft.
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.
Keyless locks are great for convenience, letting you unlock doors with a code or your phone so you don't need to carry keys around. They also often come with helpful features like temporary codes for guests. On the downside, they can be more costly up front and do require batteries that will eventually need replacing. If you value ease of use and additional security features, keyless locks are worth the investment.
Hiring a professional ensures optimal camera placement, secure installation, and integration with existing security systems. Professionals ensure reliable operation and can offer system customization to suit specific security needs or preferences.
