Installing Home Security: Why Profes­sionals Do It Better

Discussing home security

Your home is your castle, and your family, royalty. Protecting loved ones and assets is top-of-mind to homeowners and renters alike. But how should you go about it? Those who are techno­log­i­cally savvy might be inclined to go to the Wal-Mart or Radio Shack, grab some equipment and hit the ground running. How hard could it be, after all?

Before you spend hard-earned money and, most impor­tantly, precious family time and sweat equity, there are a few things you should consider when thinking of beefing up your home security. It could be that you would save a lot, in the long run, if you let the profes­sionals at Bates help you out.

System Design: The First Step to Fool-Proof Security

  • Should all doors and windows be fitted with magnetic contacts?
  • Where should the motion sensors go for maximum coverage and no blind spots?
  • What equipment should you buy, and what should you not bother with?
  • Should you go wireless?
  • What about cameras?

These are all questions that some might have when consid­ering putting security equipment in their home. We do not always have the answers, and researching the best bang for your buck” is often time-consuming and poten­tially frustrating.

The Security Consul­tants at Bates Security are home security experts. They are profes­sional and thorough, doing a walk-through of your home and property with you. They will answer any questions you may have, but more impor­tantly, they will ask questions, so that the system that is installed in your home is tailor-made for your family’s unique needs.

The consul­tation, system design and proposal are all free of charge.You give input on what goes into securing your home, while also getting the benefit of Bates’ years of experience protecting homes.

Hassel-Free Instal­lation

Making time for home improvement projects can sometimes be hard, and doing the work yourself even harder. These days, our most precious commodity is our time. When away from work, time is usually better spent investing in our families rather than going up and down ladders, fussing over putting holes in freshly-painted walls, or wrestling with misbe­having electronic equipment.

The staff in the Instal­lation Department at Bates Security is friendly, efficient and knowl­edgeable. They are background-checked and randomly drug-tested, insuring that your home and family are in good hands. From the initial contact by the Instal­lation Coordi­nator to schedule your install, to the time the Bates Security truck pulls away from your driveway, you will feel cared-for and confident that your home and family are safe and secure.

Service Is Key

Even the best-quality electronic equipment does not always work like it should, out of the box. If it is store-bought and not working well, there is the hassle of returning it for something else, or worse yet, having to deal with the manufac­turer to get a replacement. Even if the newly installed store-bought security system is in good working order and up and running, what is the benefit if it is not being monitored? You have just invested hundreds of dollars in what could be called a glorified noise-maker. Who calls the author­ities when you are not home?
