Security systems are more powerful than ever now in 2022. In this blog entry, the New Orleans commercial access control installation and New Orleans residential security service team here at Liberty Locksmith New Orleans will detail the main mistakes people often make when installing any form of electronic security systems.
Purchasing Cheap Equipment
It’s not worth it to purchase the cheapest possible electronic security equipment, as these systems are usually not as solid and robust as even slightly more expensive systems. The cheapest electronic security systems usually have issues after just a few months after installation due to software bugs or cheap material construction. We recommend asking an access control and security hardware professional for advice as to the most reliable system that will fit into your budget.
Bad Security System Modifications
A security system might be good, byt if you add shoddy system modifications, components, or spare parts, you will interfere with the security system’s functionality. Security systems can completely fail due to just one improper, obsolete, broken, or poorly installed component – and at least, provide a less-than-ideal performance that won’t protect your property from break ins.
Purchasing All-in-One Security Equipment
Security systems work by linking a wide range of technical components. Security systems work best as part of a larger network including multiple components like surveillance cameras, intercoms, motion detectors, alarms, access control systems, and more. We recommend NOT purchasing an “all-in-one” system that includes all of these components in the same device, and instead purchasing separate components that can be linked through a high quality security software system.
