ACS Security prides itself on having the most knowledgeable and professional security consultants in the greater Los Angeles area. Because of that, we asked some of our top-selling consultants for their personal recommendations on how to best protect your family and home. Here are their tips:

Lighting! Add as much exterior perimeter lighting throughout your property. Intruders like to hide in the shadows so make your home less vulnerable to them. Use Smart Home devices to operate your lights. Another security tip I always tell my clients: don’t leave packages unattended in front of your home for long periods of time. Use our patrol services to move packages out of sight. Henry Martinez – 818-447-1104 – henry.martinez@acssecurity.com

Add Smart Home light switches and program them to turn on randomly when no one is home so that the house doesn’t look vacant. We all love sharing about our travels and adventures but wait until you return home from an event or vacation to post your photos on social media. Claudia Nonemacher – 661-542-2169 – Claudia.Nonemacher@acssecurity.com

Take a layered approach to your security system, relying on a single device or system leaves gaps. Use perimeter detection, visible deterrents, interior protection, and patrol response for overall coverage.

Early detection is key. The strongest advantage is knowing someone is approaching before they reach the home. Outdoor Early Detection systems create a buffer zone that allows lighting, audible deterrents, and response to activate at the property line — not at the door.

Control What You Can Control. Simple fundamentals make a real difference: consistent locking habits, clear lines of sight, maintained landscaping, proper lighting, and keeping systems tested and updated.
