Question 1

What is the crime rate in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

In 2018, the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Service Division indicated that 246,264 incidents of property crimes took place in the state of Illinois.

Question 2

What are the different types of home security systems in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

Home security systems in Illinois work in two different ways. The first is called self-monitoring or Do-It-Yourself (DIY), where you will be in charge of overseeing the entire security system. The second type of security system is called professional monitoring, one that requires a subscription to a surveillance service. When a sensor is triggered, the professional monitoring center will get a notification, warning them that something is happening at your property.

Question 3

Are home security systems effective in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

Home security systems are well known for being excellent deterrents against burglars and intruders. In Illinois, residential and commercial properties that have a security system in play are less likely to be the targets of property crimes. Security systems come with visible components like surveillance cameras and window stickers, perfect elements to discourage burglars. Criminals are always in the lookout for easy targets that they can break in quickly, properties that show no signs of security elements. Homes that have a security system installed, with enhanced protection like surveillance cameras and window stickers, are well protected. Hence, they are less likely to be the victim of a property crime.

Question 4

What are the benefits of home security systems in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

Safety is a top priority for security companies, striving to provide you with peace of mind. Home security systems in Illinois boost the security around your home or business, employing smart home devices and features like surveillance cameras and monitoring services. With fast notifications from the monitoring centers and live feeds from your cameras, security systems provide a more robust defense solution for any property.

Question 5

Which home security system is best in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

Security companies in Illinois are providing customers with a vast selection of smart home devices and monitoring services, turning the decision process into a puzzling task. Some choices deal with the type of monitoring you may want; others will involve how many cameras you want to be installed.  And with so many security companies offering high-tech equipment packages and the latest in home automation, the decision-making process takes a more confusing tone.

Question 6

What is the price of installing a home security system in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

The price of a home security system in Illinois will vary from one security company to the next. Many security companies offer DIY-monitoring at no extra cost; the one disadvantage is that you will have to oversee your entire system. Several other companies provide affordable professional monitoring plans for a monthly fee. They can start as low as US$3 with no contract agreements and go as high as $50 a month. Features, like additional smart home automation devices and surveillance cameras, will influence the price bill of any home security system in the state of Illinois.

Question 7

How many cameras do you need for a home security system in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

If you are looking to enhance a security system for your home or business in Illinois, installing surveillance cameras and monitoring services are the best options. Some factors, like the size and layout of your property, have to be taken into consideration when deciding which surveillance cameras might suit you better.

Question 8

How does home security cameras installation work in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

Home security cameras in Illinois work in two ways: DIY or professional installations. Many security companies provide DIY cameras that are created with simple installation in mind. These cameras are usually designed to be freestanding or come with adhesives for easy placement on flat surfaces. Some companies don’t provide any DIY equipment; instead, they require certified technicians to carry out a professional installation for all their gear. Other companies may offer professional installation for their DIY as optional, as an added expense. But before you choose between DIY or Pro, check out the privacy laws and regulations involving surveillance and camera installations for the state of Illinois.

Question 9

Can I choose where to put my security cameras when I hire a company?

Accepted Answer

You will be the one to decide which cameras best fit your security needs. Security companies and providers in Illinois can help shed some light on the subject, offering expert advice on what will work best for your property. Some security companies provide DIY-installation cameras that come with a straightforward installation. DIY cameras are usually wireless and are designed to hang on wall mounts, freestanding, or peel-and-stick adhesives for a simple installation.
