Navigating the Installation Process.

One of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind regarding security systems, is whether one should pursue a professional installation or go the ever-growing, do-it-yourself route.

Ultimately, the decision comes down to personal preference, as both options have their various advantages.

DIY

Putting security in your hands.

You’ll save a little money up front by not having a professional onsite to install, meaning you’re in control of placing your devices and ensuring everything is communicating well. You will also be on-call for any trouble-shooting issues. These types of systems are typically wireless, which means they shouldn’t be too difficult to install, and most companies offer a support line in case you get stuck. For some people, this type of security system perfectly fits their needs.

Other Considerations

• Will your system be monitored and by whom? Is the central station UL listed?
• Does your insurance provider require a certificate of installation to receive a discount on your insurance?
• Will your insurance policies cover if an accident or injury occurs during installation?
• Does your security provider offer quality support during installation and afterwards?
• Are you aware of all the options and features your system comes equipped with?
• Have you considered the value of your time to learn about and install your system in calculating your true DIY costs?
• Are you aware of the codes and standards that govern how your system is installed and operated?
