"SafeStreets’ alarm system is fantastic. The motion sensors, door/window contacts, and cameras work flawlessly. The home automation features are a huge plus—I can control everything from my phone. Highly recommend SafeStreets to anyone looking for reliable security."
"My next door neighbor's house was robbed last week, and I realized that I needed to do something to give me further peace of mind. Purchased new home security with ADT and opted to get the premium options with flood detection and carbon dioxide monitoring. Keep up the nice job ADT!"
"Very well! They were very responsive and offered to send a person out the same day but due to the amount of work thought it might be better to start it first thing the next morning. The gentleman they sent was very professional and did an excellent job of installing the new door."

"Mr. Baxter explained what I would need, why one style was better than another, and what brand he recommended. I purchased the locks and door knobs myself at Lowe's. He explained what he was doing and did a good job getting everything installed. His price was a little less than other quotes I had gotten and he gave an Angie's list discount. My only issue was that I would have hoped he would have cleaned up the debris and dust more."
"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."
All went well, up and running in no time at all. It is very user friendly, you don't need a PHD to operate this system and we feel secure and safe knowing that we are being protected 24/7.
"We like their service. We haven't had any problems. They are very good. This was the first time we've had an alarm/security system in our home. The supplier is ADT. I like that I can set my alarm every night before I go to bed."
"Dana was wonderful. We had a hole in our living room ceiling from plumbing leak that was repaired. He came out over the weekend to assess the issue and came back and did a great job. As a bonus, he fixed our front door that was sticking while he was at it. All in all, we are very happy with the work done and would definitely hire again."
Costs depend on system type, labor rates, and additional features like smart integration or professional monitoring.
Grounding is a great first step to prevent electrical shock, but you can take it further with GFCI outlets and AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters). In particular, AFCIs help protect against the type of electrical arcs that cause fires, like if a mouse chews on a wire or your laptop starts overheating at the wall. These are required in some areas of your home.
There is no “better” option, as it depends on your personal preferences and home’s needs. Wireless systems are much easier to install, making them DIY-friendly. Wired systems offer a more reliable connection that is not tied to a router, but they typically require professional installation.
Yes, there are, and they often come with a screw set to ensure they stay secure. They run on batteries, depend on WiFi, and often require a WiFi extender. These typically cost less than $50. Doorbell cameras like these are great for renters who can't install a wired solution. However, a wired doorbell camera is a better choice for homeowners looking to invest wisely in home security.
Professionals optimize camera placement, integrate recording systems, and ensure tamper-proof security.
