While home security provides a welcome peace of mind, not everyone is sure what to expect. The installation process is detailed and efficient, so you can rest assured that professionals will maneuver alarm systems and security cameras into place carefully, ensuring that everything is up and running before they leave your abode.

If you’re still cautious come installation day, here’s a helpful guide on what to expect:

Arrival

Upon arrival, expect a run-down on your system’s unique features. Before any home security installation begins, your technician wants to ensure that you understand and are comfortable with your chosen system. They’ll also discuss the location, so you know that each piece of equipment is given a set locale.  

Installation

During the installation process itself, you’re not needed at your residence. While vacating isn’t necessary, you might prefer it due to the timing and type of system being installed. Alarm systems, for instance, can be irritating to deal with, especially since technicians will need to test them throughout the process. 

Timing varies, with keypad setup taking just a few hours, and top-notch video surveillance taking up to half a day. The average installation should take three to eight hours, depending on the complication level and type of wiring. Bonus features could add an hour or two to this timeframe, so ask your technician for an estimate before he or she begins.

Completion

After your system has been installed, breathe easy knowing that your property is well-protected. Your technician will discuss the system functions in detail, so you know the operating process through and through. If you have any questions, now is the time to ask. Technicians have no issue discussing the process, function, and the system itself in a step-by-step manner, and they’ll leave you with helpful paperwork to reference in the future.
