What should we look for in a security installation company?

There are many companies that are passing themselves off as security companies, when in fact they are IT or technology companies. This goes for installers as well as manufacturers. What is the difference? A technology company creates or installs parts. They know how to make the parts work, and on the surface, they may even do a passable job at it.

A security company on the other hand, uses technology as a tool to provide you the comfort of knowing that your premises are secure. A security company looks at many aspects: camera angles, where are potential trouble spots?, what will stand up in court?, how are the lighting conditions and is more lighting required? How else can we enhance the security of your premises?

You should always make sure that you are dealing with a company with a background in security, and remember to ask for references and proof of insurance.

Before we answer that, let's take a minute to look at what you are asking. Online retailers and big box stores have one motivation: to move product. They provide a general description of a product, and a means for you to purchase the product at a reasonable price. They do not offer advanced support, installation support, or in some cases, warranty return. Their responsibility ends with the sale. After that if there is an issue, the onus in on you to bring the product back or prepare and ship it back to the manufacturer.

We on the other hand, provide advanced pre-sales support (usually on your premises), provide direct swap warranty (meaning we come get the defective product and replace it for you), and have access to advanced technical support direct from the manufacturer.

The short answer is this: if you truly do a value comparison, rather than a price comparison, a reputable installer will win every time.
