What to Expect During A Security System Installation

Whether you’re a new homeowner or have owned a home for a while, it’s important to keep your property safe. When you finally decide to get a security system, here is everything you should expect. 

The Benefits of a Security System

With a visible security system, intruders will be less likely to break in, as they will be too nervous to get caught. These systems can also include fire alarms which can help detect smoke and flames earlier. Additionally, having a security system can save you money on homeowner’s insurance. While this kind of insurance is required for every homeowner, each one who installs a security system in their home receives a 10-20% discount on their insurance bill.

What to Know Before Installation

Before you even have an installation it’s important to explore different factors like the size of your property, cost, and the level of protection you will want from this system. Do you want a basic alarm system, a central monitoring station, or a security system that connects to your phone?

Site Assessment 

The first thing our team will do is conduct a site assessment to find the best place for the security system to be located. With this kind of system meant to protect your home, we’ll ensure that camera equipment is placed close to the main entry points of the house, and not facing directly at a wall.  

Installing the Security System

When the time comes to install the system, our engineers will follow two steps. They will install the wiring that will power the alarm and then fit the alarm itself into your walls. Engineers will be careful with how they install the wiring to not disrupt any other machinery or functions in your home.  

Configure the System

Once the system is installed, it will need to be configured. The engineer will probably ask you some questions like: When do you leave for the day? When do you come home? What days will you be gone during the day? This is so the system won’t alert the police when you try to come home from a long day. While a homeowner can configure the security system alone, let us help you with it for the first time with your system. 

Testing the System

The final thing our team will do is test the security system to make sure there are no problems. Most likely, the engineer will fake a sort of break-in to check if the system works properly. Most likely, the system will only need one test or check. 

Installing a security system is a straightforward process that is cost and time-efficient. Call us today to help you install your security system.
