The primary purposes of a home security system are to defend the property and the family. In addition to detecting break-ins, a security system detects smoke, fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, and water damage.
It can take several days to install very large home security systems. Start with 1.5 hours for a standard wireless security system and 3 hours for a hard-wired security system (wires must be already installed). This time incorporates a demonstration of your new system's functionality.
Color vision, customer service skills, and mechanical aptitude are typical soft skills for a security systems installer.
Wireless versus tethered home security monitoring, the security of the system itself (whether it is hacker-vulnerable), and the price are important features to consider when purchasing a home security system.
