7 Things Your Security Alarm Specialist Wishes You Knew
                     7 Things Your 
Security Alarm 
Specialist 
Wishes You 
Knew
When it comes to security, you can’t afford to 
make a mistake. You not only feel more paranoid 
but actually make it much easier for an 
opportunistic burglar to break in. We’d rather not 
say what comes after that. 
Introduction:
As much as it’s better to leave all the installation of your 
security alarm services in Katoomba to a professional, there 
are still many things you can do from your end to make your 
security tighter than ever. Leaving all the security decision-making 
to your technician could leave you confused later in the future and 
this is the worst possible thing that could happen.
Why not get smarter about things? You probably don’t know this 
but, there are some things your security alarm specialist wishes you 
knew about installation. Things he’s too scared to tell you for fear of 
losing his contract with you. If you implement these things 
accurately, you’d be surprised how easy-going and understandable 
your security system is. 
Still hanging around to find out? Awesome! Keep scrolling and read 
to the end of this blog post.
Decide on what you want 
before installing
Knowing what you want ahead of time is 
paramount to preventing confusion later in the 
future. Before calling in your installation 
technician, make sure you know these things;
• The cost of installation (you don’t want to start 
an argument with your technician).
• The type of alarm triggers you want in your 
security system.
• What happens when an alarm trips off. 
• The other peripherals specific to your home. 
 Make sure to cover all these factors before 
completing your installation. 
You ACTUALLY do need a phone and 
an internet connection
This is a problem most technicians face when 
designing wireless security systems for remote 
locations. These places have little to no cellular or 
internet service. That being said, take this into 
consideration during your alarm installations. If 
you have to spend extra on internet service, do it. 
It’s your get-away house. 
Clean up your space before 
they arrive
Wiring is never an easy job to do. That’s 
because the technician would need to access 
some hard-to-reach spots in your home. 
Having lots of obstacles on the way would 
waste time and increase the service charge. 
So, before their arrival, make sure you remove 
all the blockages and dirt restricting easy 
access to your ceiling or wiring. 
The installation actually takes 
longer than expected
If you still think installing security alarm systems take around 5 hours to set up, then you’re in for a 
real surprise. With so many gadgets and security software advancements, there are lots of things to 
be installed in your home. CCTV, motion sensors, automation, thermostat addition, and upgrading 
and even test running them on-site are some of the installation procedures to be completed on D-
day. To install these components properly, the technician would need at least 7 hours of non-stop 
testing and placing to make things work.
You can do two things to combat any form of irritation you may develop. One, consider the intricacy 
of your alarm system so you’d get a better understanding of how much time your technician is to 
spend. Two, during your preparation for their arrival, know that you’re in for a long ride and prepare 
some snacks. Make the installation process fun. 
It’s okay to get 
confused
• It’s totally normal to get confused over your 
security alarm system. Honestly, it can be 
hard to understand all the whatnot about 
security systems. It even took the 
professionals years of training and practice 
to get the hang of it!
• So, if you ever get confused over your 
security system, you could always inquire 
more information from your 
security alarm service in Katoomba. Since 
your security system is literally your last 
and only line of defense against a criminal, 
you’d be better off getting the entire picture 
of your alarm system. 
Be there during installation
Since this is reality, a lot of things would need 
your attention during installation day. When the 
time comes for asking questions or test running 
your security system, you need to be there to 
give them the okay-it’s-running-fine signal 
before allowing them to leave. 
Having a poor grandpa overseeing things just 
because he’s a world war 2 veteran doesn’t cut 
it. Since the system would be tailored to your 
specs, you need to be there.
