"My family and I have been a client of Masada security for many years. When my father passed away, Masada took great care of my mom when she was home alone. They keep their prices low, but their service high. Masada rarely has price increases and have been reasonable with every repair that I have overseen since taking over my mom's house after her passing.

"The outlet that was installed behind the flat screen tv was accidentally (without my knowledge or request) connected to a light switch. This error was not discovered immediately and only after extended periods of cable and television issues did I learn about it. Meanwhile the accent lights were connected to the same switch as all of the existing adjacent ceiling lights (although the electrician and I specifically discussed the need to be able to control them separately for the purpose of "accentuating" the art without the spotlights being diffused by the existing ceiling lights. In my rush to leave town for a scheduled trip, I didn't double check the work but when I returned, I contacted the company and explained the problems. The original electrician was no longer employed by Bolt but multiple others came to my home, acknowledged the issues and agreed to make them "right". I was also told there would be no additional charge to fix these errors. They couldn't figure out how to properly disconnect the light switch from the tv so I agreed they could tie off the wires behind switch plate and essentially make a "dummy switch". With the tv issue "fixed the best they could" and with the commitment made to now fix the accent light problem, I moved forward with the installation of the fans and was rightfully charged a fair amount for this "incremental" work. But once I paid for the fan installation I was told that the accent light issue would not be corrected... unless I paid additional money and the once-friendly work team just walked away. They told me the owner would call but he didn't. I left multiple messages and finally was told that the owner (Patrick) was aware of my issue but had stated that I received accent lights according to their documents and he would not be calling me back. The company denied that I had any conversation about separate switches for the accent lights (even though its own electricians agreed the work was done improperly) and pretty much told me to pound sand. It would have been nice (not to mention appropriate) for the owner to at least return my call. I won't do business with Bolt again."

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
