Frequently asked questions
Do I need professional installation for my security system?
While DIY security options exist, professional installation ensures proper placement, integration, and functionality of all components. Our licensed security technicians understand vulnerability points, optimal camera positioning, and how to create a truly effective security ecosystem. We also ensure all systems comply with local regulations and can be properly monitored, giving you greater peace of mind and more reliable protection.
Will my security system work during power outages?
Yes, all our security systems include backup power solutions. Depending on your system's complexity, this may include battery backups that provide 24-48 hours of continuous operation or integration with whole-home backup generators. We also recommend cellular communication backups rather than relying solely on Wi-Fi, ensuring your system remains connected to monitoring services even when power or internet service is disrupted.
Can I monitor my security system remotely?
Absolutely. All our security systems include smartphone apps and web portals that allow you to monitor your property from anywhere in the world. You can view live camera feeds, receive real-time alerts, arm/disarm the system, and even control connected devices like smart locks. For clients who travel frequently, we can implement additional remote monitoring features and automated responses to provide extra protection.
Are wireless security systems reliable?
Modern wireless security systems offer excellent reliability when properly installed. We use commercial-grade wireless equipment with encrypted communications, multiple transmission paths, and jamming detection to ensure system integrity. For critical applications or properties with challenging wireless environments, we may recommend hybrid systems that use hardwired connections for core components with wireless sensors for flexibility.
Will a security system increase my home's value?
Yes, a professionally installed security system typically adds value to your property in several ways. Beyond the actual equipment value, homes with security systems often qualify for homeowner's insurance discounts, appeal to safety-conscious buyers, and provide documented protection that can be an attractive selling point. We can provide documentation of your system's features and value for insurance or real estate purposes.
