Professionally installed home security systems are the best way to keep your family, home, and belongings safe and secure.
Still many people chose to forgo working with a trusted residential security provider and instead go the DIY route. But this isn’t cleaning out your gutters or trimming the hedges — your family is at stake here.
So, while do-it-yourself systems are highly tempting for homeowners looking for home security system on a budget, their limitations should be understood. DIY solutions don’t have nearly the capability — or the safety — of a professionally installed home security system.
There’s simply no substitute for professionally installed home security systems.
A quality residential security provider will work with you to develop an outstanding home security system that meets your needs, is properly installed, and will ensure that your family is protected no matter what disaster might come your way.
Here are four reasons you need a professionally installed home security system.
The Professional Touch
Chances are, the average person doesn’t have any idea how to design a security system that will be right for their home and family. Unless you have plenty of prior experience working with and designing security systems, you likely have no idea how to create a system that will meet all of your needs and keep your home and family safe and protected.
Professionally installed home security systems, on the other hand, will be designed by a professional with plenty of experience with homes just like yours. They’ll work with you to address your unique home security needs, discuss options for extra protection, and help trim down the things that you don’t need in order to reduce your budget.
More Than Basic Security
Professionally installed home security systems come complete with a lot more than just an alarm that will blare if someone opens the door and doesn’t input the correct code in time. You want a system that will truly offer protection for you and the members of your family. That might include add-ons that you won’t think of until after you’ve already put your base system together. Purchasing those add-ons on your own can substantially ramp up the price of your system. Ultimately, you could find yourself spending a lot more on your DIY solution than if you had simply hired a professional to begin with.
Professionally installed home security systems also come with something else your DIY option doesn’t have: the ability to integrate all of your layers of protection into a single system. Carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors are incredibly valuable when it comes to keeping your family safe. By integrating these items with the rest of your home security system, you’ll know that your protection is complete.
Also, disaster monitoring is every bit as critical as knowing when someone has broken into your home, and a professionally installed home security system can offer that.
Reduced Damages
When you install a home security system yourself — especially if you’re renting an apartment — you want to know that it will be done with the least possible amount of damage to the walls, door frames, and other parts of the property. Installing it yourself can be a hazardous proposition, too, particularly if you aren’t familiar with all of the tools you’re using. Professionally installed home security systems are streamlined and wireless, and will not damage your home.
Consistent and Continuous Support
If you install your home security system yourself, you’re the one who is responsible for taking care of it. If it doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to, your options are fairly limited — especially if the problem is with the installation itself.
Any time you’re due for an upgrade thanks to advances in technology, you’re going to have to shell out for it.
Then there are the repairs: even if damages are caused by normal use over time, not by abuse or misuse, you’ll still be responsible for taking care of them. With professionally installed home security systems, you’ll have a company standing by to help make repairs as needed. Even better, they’ll be there to troubleshoot and help you with any problems you might have with the system over time. From the moment of installation until you drop your contract with the company, you’ll have access to people who want to help you make the most of your home security system.
Understand the limitations of DIY, and put the safety and security of your family, home, and belongings into the hands of trusted professionals. There’s no doubt the benefits of professionally installed home security systems far outweigh the costs.
