Video doorbell services have seemed to pop up everywhere in the past couple of years, from kiosks at a shopping mall to television infomercials. With so much technology, products, and features, the whole process may feel overwhelming. One truth exists among all of the security products: nothing beats professional installation and services.
The idea of a video doorbell system is great, but you need to know the differences between your options. Learn about these differences and the advantages of choosing a professional company.
1.
Professional Installation
When purchasing a majority of consumer video doorbells, the devices will typically come with a package and some do-it-yourself instructions. A professional security company will not only install the video doorbell system, but test out all of the features to ensure everything runs smoothly.
One of the biggest issues a professional can check whether or not you have the proper internet speed to stream videos. Wi-Fi signals may be weak, or the home's internet package may not be fast enough. With proper testing, the exact problems will be taken into account so the video doorbell works to the best of its ability.
The professional installation also ensures the proper angle is set up and everything can be seen in the front door area. This elimination of blind spots increases the security your home has.
2. Expanded Security Measures
When a video doorbell is sold, the product is often a stand-alone security measure with no integration with any other security products the home may have. The use of professional security services will ensure your home has an easy to use integrated system.
The video doorbell may help with the security of the front door on your home, people don't always come to the porch; they may try to break in through another area. A security company may install motion sensors and alarms on any vulnerable points of your home in addition to the doorbell.
The areas may include windows, basement entries, or other doors. Along with alerting the home owners, the company itself offers a monitoring service. Maybe you're in a place with no cell service or poor data. By allowing the professional surveillance team to take over with any alerts, they can contact proper authorities if an issue arises.
In a home break-in, every second counts and the extra layer of security makes a big difference.
3. Home Security DVR and Additional Cameras
Another big step to add to the video doorbell are additional cameras. Just the addition of one camera on the front exterior of a home may alert you before someone even comes to the doorbell. You may spot an unknown car or see a person walking on the sidewalk and towards your home. All of these angles may showcase possible burglars or porch pirates.
With all the cameras on one system, you keep all of the feeds organized and easy to watch. Easily switch between cameras, including the video doorbell. The installation of a professional home security DVR will also keep a library of video footage to look back on if a suspicious incident occurs.
4. Upgrades, Maintenance & Repairs
Like many products, the purchase of a video doorbell may come with a warranty or limited service, but problems or product malfunction often requires the purchase of a brand new one. With a new one, the set-up needs to be done all over again.
With a professional video doorbell, the use of a security company also comes with service options. Cameras may be repaired, upgraded, or maintained as needed. With a local worker, repairs are completed quickly and there is little to no downtime without a video doorbell monitoring your home.
The advantages of a professional security company goes a long way in giving you the comfort of having a safe and protected home.
