"Working with Rush security has been highly disappointing and mediocre at best. We had multiple missed appointments with their technician until I put my foot down and said I'd cancel service if they did not show up. He started to show up after that, but just for a couple days and in my opinion still did subpar work. At first, the alarm system would not register away, only "stay". Then the doorbell camera was constantly ringing even when no one was there. The motion detector also does not work. Next, we paid $400 for equipment and a $75 monthly monitoring. I wish I would just gone with Ring because they are cheaper but I wanted to support local. When we asked to cancel we were told we'd have to pay a 1400 cancellation fee to recoup the loss of having an electrician come out and for the 'low' $75 monitoring and to buyout the contract. Initially, we were told they offered no contract service, which was the only reason we went with them. I did the math and that 1400 fee would total out to about 1.5 years of subpar service. No thanks. We took the loss but you do not have to, go with someone else or just install your own alarm"

Solar-powered motion sensor fixtures operate independently from your home's electrical system, eliminating the need for complex wiring. Each unit contains its own integrated solar collector and battery storage system. Installation involves simple mounting procedures rather than electrical connections.
Be aware that heavily shaded locations may compromise performance, and seasonal sunlight variations can affect reliability in some geographic regions.
Most motion detection systems include adjustment controls—small dials or switches—located on the sensor housing. These allow customization of detection distance, sensitivity to movement size, and duration settings for illumination after triggering. For fixtures without built-in adjustment capabilities, aftermarket controllers can sometimes be added.
Regular testing after adjustments helps optimize performance and minimize unwanted activations from small animals or vegetation movement.
Converting to motion-activated lighting reduces electricity consumption substantially compared to fixtures left continuously illuminated. Traditional outdoor lighting operating throughout nighttime hours (10 to 14 hours) consumes significantly more power than motion-activated alternatives that illuminate only when needed. The actual savings depend on your previous lighting configuration, the efficiency of your new fixtures, and local electricity rates.
The ideal number of security lights depends on your property's specific layout and vulnerability points. Strategic placement matters more than quantity—focus on key areas like entry points, blind corners, and pathways. Analyze your property for potential coverage gaps, considering detection angles and ranges of each fixture. Balancing comprehensive coverage with avoiding unnecessary redundancy helps optimize both security effectiveness and installation budget.
