"Bought security through ADT mainly for the automation options that come with the system. My spouse loves being able to turn on and off our lights in different areas of the house while we are gone. We travel often, so giving the illusion that we are home is a good deterrent."

"The Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

False alarms happen, and they could be due to a problem you need to troubleshoot, like faulty wiring, a mistaken setting, or the system needing an update. Turn off your system by disconnecting its power supply (both the battery and transformer) and give the manufacturer a call to see what they advise. 

It depends on your specific needs. A security system typically includes alarms, sensors for windows and doors , and 24/7 monitoring services, offering comprehensive protection with immediate response to potential threats. Cameras, on the other hand, primarily provide visual surveillance and evidence collection. A security system is preferable if your primary concern is deterring intruders and receiving real-time alerts. Cameras are ideal for monitoring and recording activities but might offer a different level of active protection. In many cases, a combination of both—a security system with integrated cameras—provides the most robust home security solution, offering prevention and documentation.

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

Expect to spend an average of $150 to $500 to set up a home flood detection system. However, be aware that costs are wide-ranging. You might only spend a budget-friendly $50 to place basic, battery-operated sensors in a few key areas of your home, or $150 to set up two or three smart sensors. The purchase and professional installation of a whole-home protection system with water shutoff capabilities could cost between $500 and $1,000.

Leaving a light on at night probably does not deter burglars as much as we would like. While there isn’t much evidence supporting the theory that lights deter burglars, there’s not anything disproving it either. If you feel like it offers added security because a burglar thinks you’re at home, then you can set your lights to a timer so they go off and on at intervals, mimicking someone moving around inside the house at night. A better idea is to install motion sensor lights in your yard.
