Start with the doors and windows you use
Most residential plans begin with contacts on primary entry doors and frequently used windows, then add motion or glass-break where the layout needs it.

Education
What to know about home security in Ohio
Short, practical points — not invented statistics.
The panel is the daily interface
A clear touchscreen like the 2GIG Edge makes arming, disarming, and status checks easier for everyone in the household — especially with Alarm.com on your phone.
Cameras support the alarm — they do not replace it
Video helps you see what happened; a monitored alarm helps you get a response path when something triggers. Many Ohio homes use both.
Compatibility is model-specific
Sensor and camera choices should be confirmed for your panel and plan during design. We verify by model rather than promising every accessory works with every system.
Local install still matters
Professional placement, wiring where needed, and someone nearby for support often matter more than packing every feature into the first quote.
Ask about monitoring options
Plans vary. During your quote we explain what professional monitoring and app features look like for the equipment you choose.
