ADT Smart Home Security and Cameras in Concord, CA

Smart Home Protection Designed for Concord Families

Concord is one of Contra Costa County’s largest and most diverse communities. From established neighborhoods and growing family communities to downtown condominiums and hillside homes, Concord offers something for everyone.

Your home should be the one place where your family always feels safe.

It is where your children grow up, where memories are created, and where you should never have to worry about what is happening while you’re away.

Although Concord has many safe neighborhoods, homeowners continue to experience concerns over package theft, vehicle break-ins, mail theft, and residential property crimes that affect communities throughout the Bay Area.

Concord homeowners are protected by the dedicated professionals of the Concord Police Department and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (ConFire). A professionally monitored ADT Smart Home Security System complements these first responders by helping detect emergencies quickly and notifying the appropriate emergency services when seconds matter.

Today’s homeowners want more than a traditional alarm.

They want a connected home that helps them monitor their family, property, and valuables from anywhere.

With professionally monitored ADT Smart Home Security, Google Nest Cameras, and intelligent smart home automation, you can stay connected to your home whether you’re commuting to work, shopping at The Veranda, enjoying Todos Santos Plaza, or traveling across California.

Smart Home Security System FAQs

Please reach us at 925-322-3095 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is the best rated home security company?

ADT and Vivint are the top rated home security professional installation companies in the United States. SimpliSafe, Ring, Frontpoint and ADT are the top rated DIY (do it yourself) smart home security system providers nationwide.

Protection 1 and Brinks (Broadview) were both top rated home security companies in the USA until they merged with ADT. Brinks merged with ADT in 2010 and Protection 1 merged with ADT in 2017. After Brinks’ non-compete was over, Monitronics took over the Brinks Home security name. However, Monoitronics has experienced some significant financial challenges in 2023.

I believe without question, ADT Security is by far the most comprehensive monitored smart home security company in the world. They offer DIY systems, professionally installed security systems, custom home security system options and offer a full line of video surveillance camera systems. In 2020, Google partnered with ADT adding the Google Nest cameras and smart thermostats to the ADT security platform. Along with investing over $600 million, Google‘s superior Nest security cameras with incredible analytics has definitely helped ADT remain the top rated home security company both now and into the foreseeable future.

What should I look for in a smart home security system?

The first question to answer is, do you want a professionally installed smart home security system or would you like to order a DIY security system and install the system yourself…?

Next, are you looking for a monitored home security system, security cameras, smart home automation devices or an all of the above to be managed by your smart home system? Do you want the fewest possible mobile apps to manage you smart home products or are you ok having lots of mobile apps that manage different smart home devices?

What is essential to you? What smart home products would you like to manage and control? Often, it’s best to figure out what your personal smart home management priorities are and then find out what system can control what’s relevant to you? Obviously, budget and affordability are also very important when you are making a decision about choosing your smart home security installation company.

Here is a list of popular smart home devices:

Automated Door Locks

Smart Thermostats
Security Cameras

Make sure the company you hire has the ability to help you establish a strong network throughout your entire home and be able to connect smart home devices wherever they will be installed.

If you are not sure where to start, give us a call and we will help your start your smart home journey.

Is it worth paying for a home security system?

This answer is quite simple. How much money are you willing to spend initially and monthly to protect your home and family?

Depending upon what home security system you have installed you’ll be protected from…

Burglary
Front Porch Package Theft
Police Emergencies
Medical Emergencies
Fire Emergencies
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Indoor Water Flood Protection
Remotely View Live Security Camera Footage
Review Recorded Video Events that Happen on Your Property

Determining how important it is to have the above protection will determine if home security is worth paying for to you. In other words… How much are you willing to lose?

What is the price range for a home security system?

There are lots of pricing options.

Your can buy a video doorbell for less than $199 and pay a few dollars a months for a subscription to get recorded video. You can get very robust smart home security system for zero down and pay for the equipment and monitoring on a monthly basis.

You can also purchase all the equipment and installation up front and then pay less per month. Most smart home security monthly monitoring plans are between $20-$60 a month depending on what you what to monitor. Most smart home systems will cost between $500-$3,500.

Very robust smart home management systems for large custom homes can cost tens of thousand of dollars.

Because there are so many different kinds of smart home products, the range of pricing is extreme. It’s most important to figure out what your smart home priorities are and what your maximum budget is both initially and monthly. This will help you narrow down what smart home system is right for you.

Is ring alarm better than ADT?

No. ADT offers a far superior monitored smart home system that is professionally installed.

The only reason Ring would be considered better than ADT is if you needed a cheaper security system option.

Video Surveillance Security Cameras FAQs

Please reach us at 925-322-3095 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is the average labor cost to install security cameras?

Most often it will cost between $50-$200 to install a security camera. The price variance is most often due to the length of the wire run needed to connect the security camera. If there is conduit installation involved in installing security cameras, labor cost can significantly increase.

It is important to note that most security companies will not install security cameras that they do not provide. And many quotes for a security system are priced as a package including installation and the labor cost will not be a separate line item from the equipment costs.

How much do outdoor home security cameras cost?

You can get security cameras for free in some smart home security packages as long as you pay for the monthly monitoring. You can also get most DIY wireless security cameras for under $199. The price for most professional grade security cameras including installation and wiring will be between $650-$1,000 each camera.

What makes the most difference in cost of a professionally installed video surveillance system is the wire runs. Obviously, an eight camera system in a 5,000+ square foot home is going to be far more than an eight camera system in a home under 2,000 square feet.

If you are building a custom home, running wires at the time of construction will make it significantly less in cost than running wires in an existing home.

Where is the best place to install security cameras?

The best place to install outdoor security cameras is at the entry points of your home. Most important place for a security camera is the front door making the video doorbell one of the most popular smart home security devices installed today.

At minimum, every first floor entry door to your home should be covered by a security camera including patio doors and garage doors. After entry doors, it would be cameras on the driveway and access gates to the backyard or the property in general.

Indoor security camera placement is based on what you want to monitor inside. Do you want to check in on your dog, record video of who is opening the liquor cabinet or keep an eye on an aging parent receiving in home care…? Indoor camera placement is almost always a custom solution to meet the unique needs of your family.

Is it worth installing home security cameras?

Definitely!

Of all the smart home devices installed, customers find themselves using their video doorbells and security cameras on a daily basis. Amazon and package delivery has dramatically changed how people are coming onto your property and into your neighborhood everyday. So keeping an eye on what is happening at home is well worth the investment for most homeowners.

How many cameras do I need for home security?

For most three bedroom, two bath homes, a four camera system will provide basic outdoor security camera protection. A four camera system would cover the front door, back door, side garage door (possibly the gate by garage in same view) and the driveway.

If you have more than three entry doors or want to see each side of the house and views of your front and back yards, you will need to move up to an eight camera system at minimum.

What is a live video monitoring system?

Live video monitoring is when you have a company professionally monitor your video surveillance cameras. Trained Security Agents, at a remote security central station, will do video verification, resolve false alarms, call designated contacts, talk down intruders and request police dispatch when needed.

You can also have security cameras installed that you can self video monitor. AI analytics will determine when people or vehicles enter restricted areas (you chose) during predetermined times of the days. You will get an alert notification to your mobile device and can then view live video. With two-way voice enabled security cameras, you can voice challenge a would be intruder.

Video monitoring helps prevent break-ins from ever happening and stops crime. Don’t just have video recordings of what happened… take proactive action and use video monitoring to provide true protection for your home and business.
