Welcome to the March roundup of Total Security Solutions’ blog posts. This month we dug into everything from smart doorbells to power‑outage‑proof alarms, plus a couple of baby‑monitor guides. Below is a quick walk‑through so you can grab the info you need without scrolling through each article.
If you own a Ring Doorbell, you probably wondered whether you’ll be hit with monthly fees. Our piece “Monthly Charges with Ring Doorbell: What You Need to Know” breaks down what’s free (live video, motion alerts) and what costs extra (cloud storage, advanced AI features). The same article helps you decide if a subscription adds real value for your home.
UK readers also asked, “Is it against the law to own a Ring Doorbell?” In that post we clarified that Ring isn’t illegal, but privacy rules mean you can’t point the camera at neighbours’ windows. A few simple positioning tips keep you on the right side of the law and avoid complaints.
For smart doorbell fans who wonder about subscriptions, the “Do Smart Doorbells in the UK Require a Subscription?” article compares subscription‑based and free‑feature models. It shows when the extra cost makes sense (e.g., if you need continuous video storage) and when you can stick with the basics.
ADT pricing is a common headache. Our “How Much Is the Monthly Bill for ADT?” guide lists the base price, optional monitoring add‑ons, and hidden fees that can surprise you. We also share tricks to lower the bill, like bundling with other services or negotiating contract length.
SimpliSafe users get two solid reads. First, “What Happens If Wi‑Fi Goes Out with SimpliSafe?” explains that the system switches to cellular backup and still records alarms locally. Second, “What Happens If Power Goes Out with SimpliSafe” shows how the built‑in battery kicks in, why you should test it regularly, and how to add a secondary power source for extra peace of mind.
CCTV costs and performance were hot topics too. The “Burglars' Worst Nightmare: Exploring CCTV Installation Costs” article breaks down price ranges for DIY vs. professional install, and which features (night vision, motion zones) give the biggest deterrent effect. In “Does WiFi CCTV Slow Down Internet?” we measured bandwidth use and gave tips – like using a dedicated 5 GHz band – to keep streaming smooth while keeping the Wi‑Fi fast for everything else.
We also answered a practical question: “Do Electricians Install CCTV Cameras: All You Need to Know.” The piece outlines why many electricians are qualified, what to ask about certifications, and how to get a clear quote before the job starts.
On the baby side, parents asked whether a monitor is needed for room‑sharing. The “Do I Really Need a Baby Monitor for Room‑Sharing?” post weighs pros and cons, recommends low‑alert models, and shares safety tips for wiring and placement. Another guide, “Can You Watch Your Baby Monitor on Your Phone?” shows which monitors pair with iOS and Android, how to secure the connection, and what battery life to expect.
