Should I Use a CCTV Installation Service?

Written by Kevin Cameron | Jul 31, 2020 1:15:00 AM

It’s always tempting to work on projects yourself to save some money on labor costs. In many cases, it works out for the best, but with security systems, it’s generally better to leave it to a pro. You’ve worked hard for your home or business, so don’t leave its security to anyone but a professional. Here are just a few reasons why you should use a CCTV installation service.

Save Time and Frustration

Chances are you’ve never installed a CCTV system before. If you have, you wouldn’t be reading this blog! Trying something new requires lots of trial and error, especially when it comes to technical equipment like a security system. After a while, all those errors start to add up, taking precious time out of your busy schedule—not to mention the frustration headaches you might get.

CCTV installation professionals have installed camera systems for years. They know exactly what need to be done to get your cameras up and running efficiently and quickly. You can continue with your daily routine without skipping a beat.

Use High-Quality Equipment

There are plenty of security cameras on the market designed for DIY installation. Unfortunately, if anyone can set them up, that also means anyone can take them down, bypass them, or break them. In short, they’re not the best equipment for the job.

Quality CCTV equipment is high-tech and takes more than an adhesive strip and a Wi-Fi connection to bring online. If you use a professional CCTV installation service, you’re not limited by your technical knowledge. You can get the best cameras for the job, not just the ones you know how to install.

Increase Security

If you’re not a security expert, you might not know the right locations to place a CCTV camera or which cameras will work best for you. When you hire a professional, they’ll assess your property and give you suggestions for your unique home or business. They’ll consider things like:

  • The best location for cameras
  • Lighting conditions
  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Strongest and safest mounting positions
  • And much more

Using their years of expertise, they’ll come up with a plan to maximize your CCTV coverage. If security is important to you, there’s no substitute for a CCTV installation service.

Save Money on Repairs

The point of DIY installation is to save money, right? Well, you might save money on installation costs, but what about repairs and upgrades?

When you use a CCTV installation service, your system will be installed correctly the first time. No need to go back and make expensive repairs to brackets, fallen cameras, or disconnected wires time and time again. Pay a one-time installation fee, and you can be confident knowing the installation was done properly and you won’t need to spend money on unnecessary repairs. Don’t think of it as an installation fee; think of it as a guarantee.

Get Professional Support

Typically, when something breaks, you call the person who installed it for you. If the cable goes out, you call the cable company. If your car breaks down, you call the mechanic. Well, if your DIY CCTV system breaks down, who do you call?

Using a CCTV installation service gives you support if you have trouble with your new system. Have a problem? Call your installer. They’ll come over and repair your CCTV system without you ever lifting a finger.

Don’t spend hours on hold waiting for a troubleshooting walkthrough or leafing through instruction manuals. If something goes wrong or you need help operating your system, you know there’s an expert who can give you the support you need.

Enjoy Peace of Mind

The main reason to hire a CCTV installation service is to know that your system was installed correctly. You’ll never have to wonder if you connected that last wire or mounted the camera with strong enough screws. You can rest easy knowing that your CCTV system is watching over your family or business 24/7 and won’t let you down.
