Porch packages on Shenandoah and Perkins: a doorbell is optional, monitoring is not
Shenandoah and the 70817 ZIP post some of the lowest violent-crime rates in East Baton Rouge Parish. People still call about the Amazon box. Perkins Road houses get the same call for a different reason: the porch faces a busy corridor and the delivery sits there until 6 p.m. A doorbell camera is the usual add. It is not the whole system.
ADT Complete starts at $64.99/mo* when you want video in the app. Secure at $49.99/mo* still watches the doors if you skip cameras. Home Security Systems Baton Rouge is the order line. SafeStreets installs. ADT monitors 24/7.
What a doorbell does and does not do
A doorbell camera lets you see the stoop. It records a person picking up a box. It does not call the police by itself. Professional monitoring is the person who can call you when a door opens. Order both if you want both. Do not confuse a clip on your phone with 24/7 monitoring.
HOAs on Highland Road and in Prairieville sometimes limit camera placement. Bring the rule. Indoor sensors still work. We will not quote a camera the board will make you take down.
Carports and generators
A porch box is one theft. A generator on a carport before a storm is another. Outdoor cameras help. Complete is the plan. Ask on the quote whether the install stays at $99 or goes up with the camera count.
Call (225) 424-1600 with the ZIP and whether you want video. You will hear Secure through Complete before anyone schedules a truck.
