We Offer Comprehensive Coverage and Peace of Mind DIY Systems Cannot Match

You have put a lot of work into your home, from the decor that matches your style to creating outdoor entertainment the whole family enjoys. Regardless of where you live in California, security is a necessary component, providing a sense of solace and refuge from the trials and tribulations of the world. 

When it comes to smart home surveillance cameras and alarms, there is a temptation to forgo a professional design and installation in favor of some off-the-shelf products. While, in truth, these IoT consumer-centric devices show ingenuity, they cannot offer real reliability, robust operation, or interoperability with home automation platforms.

It is All in the Details

One of the first things you will notice when comparing pro systems to DIY is the quality of the video. While great strides have been made with mini cameras in smart doorbell devices, they pale compared to professionally installed units. 

We furnish high-definition cameras and recorders capable of 5-8MP levels of resolution, which is equivalent to a 4K ultra-high-definition video. Many IoT devices top out at 1800i, meaning you lose essential details when viewing remotely or on video recordings. 

The level of quality is a critical factor when you submit files to the police or insurance company; it is the difference between capturing a license plate or a blur. You wouldn't settle for degraded video quality in your home theater. So why accept it from a security system? 

Is Your Security Secure?

For all their conveniences, IoT devices are designed for cheap sale and quick installation. In order to minimize development and production costs, manufacturers skimp on all-weather housings, quality lenses, and connection protection. Many consumer-grade devices communicate over standard Wi-Fi, transmitting video and sound with your connection credentials using minimal encryption. 

Stronger passkeys systems require more bandwidth, processing, and expensive chipsets. The shocking truth is that most name-brand DIY units can be cracked with software tools easily obtained over the internet. In addition, at least one well-known maker of smart doorbells has admitted it gives access to your recordings and live streams by default! You wouldn't accept this from your home network. Don’t allow it from your security cameras. 

Alarms and Beyond

Going beyond cameras, we offer a complete package of alarms and sensors that can be tied to your home automation platform, triggering indoor and outdoor illumination when necessary. 

Our comprehensive coverage also includes monitoring all your home's infrastructure, from fire and smoke detection to temperature, humidity, and water sensors. Receive notifications if the wine cellar goes out of range or a leak is detected from the HVAC system. Whether you are home or away, you’ll be alerted early enough to stop the issues before they cause real damage.
