Questions homeowners ask us most

What makes Home Cam & Alarm Services different from ADT, Brinks, or Vivint?

With Home Cam & Alarm Services, you own your camera system. You're investing in security equipment for your home rather than simply paying indefinitely for cameras you don't own.

Home Cam & Alarm Services also focuses on building a complete security system around your property, rather than simply installing a standard alarm package.

Depending on your system, that can include:

  • 24/7 video recording
  • AI-powered cameras
  • Perimeter detection
  • Active deterrence
  • Smart-home integration

Our goal is to help you detect and deter potential threats before they reach your home — while giving you ownership and control of the technology protecting your property.

Can Home Cam & Alarm Services upgrade my existing security system?

Yes. An existing security system can be evaluated before new equipment is recommended.

We'll evaluate your current equipment and determine what can potentially be kept, upgraded, or replaced. You may not need to start over with an entirely new system.

Why should I upgrade if my current security system still works?

A security system can still "work" while having significant gaps in protection.

Older systems may have limited camera coverage, blind spots, outdated technology, unreliable notifications, or cameras that only capture short event clips.

Home Cam & Alarm Services evaluates how well your current system actually protects your property and shows you where newer technology could improve it.

What happens during a Home Cam & Alarm Services security assessment?

We'll evaluate your home's current security setup and identify areas where protection could potentially be improved.

The assessment can include:

  • Existing security equipment
  • Camera coverage and blind spots
  • Entry-point protection
  • Perimeter coverage
  • Recording capabilities
  • Smart-home integration
  • Equipment age and condition

We'll then explain your options and recommendations. There's no obligation to purchase.

Can your cameras help prevent a break-in instead of just recording it?

Certain Home Cam & Alarm Services camera systems are designed to do much more than simply record video.

Depending on the equipment selected, features can include intelligent person and vehicle detection, automatic tracking, instant notifications, lights, audible warnings, and other active-deterrence features.

The idea is to create an active perimeter around your property, rather than only having footage to review afterward.

Do Home Cam & Alarm Services cameras record 24/7?

Yes. We offer camera systems capable of continuous 24/7 local recording through an NVR.

That means you can review what happened before, during, and after an event, instead of relying exclusively on short motion-triggered recordings.

Storage capacity and recording duration depend on your system configuration.

Can I see and control my security system from my phone?

Yes. Compatible Home Cam & Alarm Services systems allow you to view live cameras, review recorded footage, receive security notifications, and manage supported security and smart-home features directly from your smartphone.

Your security system goes wherever you go.

Do I have to replace all of my existing security equipment?

Not necessarily. Before recommending new equipment, we'll review what you already have and determine what may be worth keeping.

Our goal isn't to replace equipment simply for the sake of replacing it. It's to build the right security setup for your property.

How much does a Home Cam & Alarm Services system cost?

Every Home Cam & Alarm Services system is customized, so pricing depends on your home's needs, the equipment selected, installation requirements, and the level of protection you choose.

We'll review your options and provide clear pricing before any installation takes place.

Do you offer financing or monthly payment options?

Ask our team which payment options are currently available for the proposed system.

Any financing option, if offered, has separate terms, rates, eligibility requirements, and approval.

Do you install Eufy security camera systems?

Supported Eufy local-recording configurations do not require a cloud-storage subscription. Optional monitoring and other services have separate availability, terms, and fees.

We handle the whole install: camera placement, mounting, wiring, recorder setup, and configuring the app on your phone.

If you already own Eufy equipment, we can install and configure what you have rather than selling you new hardware.

What areas do you install security cameras in?

  • Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe and Mesa
