Choosing The Best Home Security Camera Installation

There are so many options out there for a home security system — there are DIY (do it yourself) systems and there are professionally installed systems. What is the best home security camera installation? Before you jump into any system, you should compare the pros and cons of each. And it’s not all always just about cost — both a DIY security system and professionally installed home security system can be similarly priced. So then what are the benefits? Which one will fit your particular need?

DO IT YOURSELF — OR NOT?

First, let’s look at DIY systems. One of the positive aspects of DIY security systems is that most are sold as starter kits, so you can add features as you need them or can afford them. The biggest negative side is that there is no customer support, you are truly on your own for installation and upgrade. And since each system is slightly different from brand to brand, it’s very difficult to comparison shop. Also what system might be available to you now, might not be available when you are ready to upgrade.

PROFESSIONAL HOME SECURITY CAMERA INSTALLATION

When you’re looking for home security installation, a professional company can provide you with many options – from a starter system to a sophisticated smart home. These systems, installed by a trained technician, generally come with 24/7 professional monitoring. That means trained dispatchers at alarm-monitoring centers verify triggered alarms and alert the authorities. Many systems offer a smartphone app for remote control and monitoring. (Your home is not smart if you have to use multiple different apps to control it!) A good example of a truly smart home is with the new Honeywell Total Connect App.  With the ability to connect to all of your smart home devices, cool live video doorbell cameras feeds, remote control, and so much more, Alamo Smart Home really does it all. You can control your home security system with any of your smart devices like Alexa, Apple WatchOS, or Android Wear OS. In addition, video cameras come complete with 720p high definition video quality imaging, weatherproof design, and night vision for crystal clear pictures —  no matter what time of day it is.

LOCAL OR NATIONAL COMPANY
