Frequently Asked Questions About Security System Installation

What type of home security system do I need?

For most homes, a wireless alarm with door and motion sensors plus one or two outdoor cameras provides excellent protection. A security installer will assess your specific needs.

Does a burglar alarm reduce my home insurance?

Many insurers offer 5–15% discounts for professionally installed, NSI or SSAIB approved alarm systems. Check with your insurer for their specific requirements.

Can I install CCTV cameras myself?

DIY cameras work but professional installation ensures optimal placement, wiring, and recording quality. Professionally installed CCTV provides better evidence quality and is more reliable.
