How do you define home security in the modern age of technology?
Today’s home security systems are made up of connected devices that not only protect our well-being, but also make life more convenient. They’re called “smart” devices for a reason. Smartphones, smart lights, smart locks and even smart home security systems have become a part of everyday life.
But, the reliability of the vendor, installation and network connection all impact the security of these devices. Read on to learn how we define home security.
Non-Security Companies Introduce Smart Home Security Services
Non-traditional security companies, such as Amazon and Google, have launched lines of home security services. These packages include your basic smart home security features, such as smart lights, sensors and doorbell cameras.
Now, selling smart home security equipment is nothing new for these companies. But, there are several issues with choosing a non-security vendor as your provider.
- These offerings do not have an ecosystem. Every device you buy comes with a separate app you must download on your phone in order to control these devices. There is usually no all-in-one app that allows you to monitor and control all your devices in one spot.
- Technicians they send to your home for installation may not be certified or licensed. Technicians from non-security companies may not have proper training or qualifications. With traditional companies, you can rest assured knowing your technician has the proper verification needed to install your security offerings.
- When it comes to pricing compared to traditional companies, you’ll see a difference. There is no contract, but there also isn’t any ongoing support. With non-traditional security companies, the technician is only available for installation. What happens if your system malfunctions? Who would you call? What would you do if you went the DIY route and then realized you were in over your head? It’s common for homeowners to need help with their DIY devices. Traditional companies provide the ongoing support you need for a reliable system.
For some trusting homeowners, the non-traditional security company is acceptable. But for others, a professionally monitored, installed and certified solution is the only choice.
