Why It's Important to Invest in a High-Quality System 

With the growing popularity of Ring cameras and other off-the-shelf security camera systems, many clients ask us if there's still a need for a professional installation. And though we love a viral Ring camera video as much as the next person, we still try to dissuade clients from going the DIY approach for security. Their family's safety is too important to delegate to systems with limited features and reliability. 

So, in what ways are these DIY security cameras different from their professional counterparts? We outline those differences in this blog, from the durability of the equipment to the amount of surveillance features included with your cameras.

Why are so many homes turning to these systems to protect their properties and families?

The answer lies in their ability to detect a possible security issue before anything happens. These systems take a proactive security stance, using smart sensors and cameras that offer remote monitoring, two-way audio, and digital tripwires.

Let’s explore their many benefits and features and why integrating these systems into your smart home offers today's best security.
