In a world Focused on DIY trends, many have gone the way of the “Do it yourself” Home security system with huge regrets.
In the beginning, the idea of a simple install with a somewhat reputable online company could be enticing, but when it comes to the safety of your family or business, should this addition to your home or business be left up to chance??
Any savvy home or business owner should do their due diligence in analyzing the pros and cons of a DIY vs a Pro system before making that big decision.
Below are some of the realizations our clients have made when switching from a DIY system to a personalized Central Security Professional System with our expert installation.
DIY
Limited Support: Errors in installation and setup lead to false alarms, wasted time, and frustration with online tech support
Central Security System
Professional Install: An expert local installation with communication and clarity as to your needs and expectations with respect to your home or business. This insures Peace Mind with protecting what means the most.
DIY
Less Professional Monitoring: Monitoring stations associated with some DIY systems are known to have slower response rates.
Central Security System
United Central Control: A 5 Diamond Monitoring Center, UL listed, serving Texas since 1982
DIY
Not “UL Listed”: Most DIY Security Systems are not UL listed so insurance companies don’t take them as valid solutions.
Central Security System
UL Listed: Our state of the art systems with Cellular back ups insure there’s no interruption of service and come with a “Certificate of Installation” for insurance purposes. (may give you a discount on premiums)
DIY
Not Ideal for Complex Properties: Multi-story homes, large properties, or businesses might need more robust coverage. Components may not meet the same rigorous standards as professional-grade equipment. (Did you know many DIY smoke detectors don’t actually sense smoke. they rely on existing smoke detectors to make noise to trigger them)
Central Security System
Higher Customization: Tailored for your property, including fire, flood, and CO detection. Ability to integrate Door Locks, Gates, Garage doors, Door bells, and much more.
