To Do It Yourself (DIY) or Not!
Of all the electronic security technologies, a basic video surveillance system is the easiest to install. The connections are basic and the system architecture is straightforward. Once you learn the simple "do's & don'ts" of equipment placement you are really over the hard part. So why install it yourself:
- The system will cost "half" as much as paying a security dealer for the equipment plus installation.
- You may already have the expertise on staff. More systems than ever before are being installed by the IT departments and maintenance employees.
- It's not that hard. Complete DIY surveillance kits provide all the parts and some manufacturers even provide all the technical support you need.
Why you should hire a security dealer to provide an installed system:
- You don't have time to research and design a system.
- You want a labor warranty.
- You don't have the desire to pull wire or climb a ladder.
Only one National Brand provides "do-it-yourself" kits.
Supporting do-it-yourself systems is somewhat of a specialty. There is only one national brand, EZWatch Pro that packages professional grade systems designed for an end-user installation. The company supports the customer and the installation with an extensive technical support center.
4 Camera packages are the most popular systems sold nationwide. However, EZWatch Pro offers packages from 2 to 48 cameras.
