"With crime and break-ins picking up around the city, we felt it was time to invest in home security. Using ADT for the entire process was excellent. They added an extra motion detector to our equipment package for being new customers. We also added the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. All and all, a great overall security and automation system."

"The job did take a little longer than expected, but the crawl space is really tight, that is why I decided not to do it myself. I also had him hook everything up, which I wasn't going to do at first, but I really felt he knew what he was doing so I decided to let him do it all. He did cut me some slack on the bill because I bought a new universal remote which was half of the price. It works really well! He had it on the truck, which was quite a surprise. He programmed it to control all my components and I love it. Very little learning curve. I had purchased one over a year ago and never used it because of moving and etc., it turned out to be defective and that took some time to figure out. The new one is better anyway. The workmanship was excellent and it looks and sounds great. He even performed the sound balancing procedure to balance the sound for the room. I was thinking of purchasing a new sub-woofer but he said what I had sounded great and was not necessary, that saved me about $500. He did recommend a high quality sound bar that I will probably upgrade too in the future and I will certainly call them to install. I highly recommend John and his company! He and his assistant were professional, very knowledgeable and friendly. They cleaned up everything and left no mess behind. If you are thinking of setting a AV system in your family room as I did or a purpose built theater room, call them. You won't be disappointed!

"It went great!  From Travis the sales person to Noah the installer I couldn't have asked for a more professional and through team to deliver my home security needs.  We just bought a new house in a neighborhood that's up and coming but there's still an element that we want to protect our home and valuable from.  Security One helped us find a system that we could monitor while we're away and that would make my girlfriend feel safe when I'm not a home.  We highly recommend them especially Travis and Noah.  Ask for them by name!

"I had a security system in place that had transferred ownership to 3 companies in total. I needed service on the system and received poor customer service and outrageous pricing for a small service needed. That inspired me to look elsewhere for a new security system provider. I came across Jeremy and Larry from 1st Security LLC and all I can say, being a person in the service industry, they came through big time. Not only were they punctual and knowledgeable, they were plain old nice !!!! From the quote with Jeremy to the install with Larry, it was a pleasurable experience and one that I would recommend over and over again."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

Not all security systems are equal, so familiarize yourself with the many features available and any associated costs. Decide on a wireless or wired system and look at monthly subscription fees to access the service. Finally, read plenty of reviews to check out the efficacy of your intended security system.

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.

Home security cameras typically do not record continuously 24/7. Most options use motion detection technology to trigger recording when they sense movement or a significant change in their field of view. This approach conserves storage space and reduces the need for constant monitoring. When motion is detected, the camera starts recording and may send alerts to the homeowner. However some cameras offer the option for continuous recording, but this requires substantial storage capacity and may overwrite older footage when space runs out.

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

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.
