While DIY continues to increase in popularity, when it comes to installing a home security system we highly recommend avoiding the hassle and leaving it to the professionals.

The biggest benefit of professional installation? You know it will actually work. Wiring, placement, syncing devices, and everything else that installation involves can get pretty complicated, and it's important that everything works together without a hitch. Attempting to DIY a system can involve a lot of troubleshooting and hours on the phone with tech support. 

With Vivint, professional installation is included in your smart home package. Vivint Smart Home Pros know smart home tech and they provide valuable professional information when it comes to products and placement. For example, maybe you’re not sure where to place your outdoor camera for optimal viewing, or you aren’t sure how many carbon dioxide detectors you really need. Smart Home Pros have the answers. 

They’ll install everything and ensure your smart home devices integrate together seamlessly. And the job’s not done until they instruct you on how to use your system and take advantage of the various features and integrations available.

You certainly want to protect home from break-ins with devices like alarms, motion detectors, and glass-break sensors. But intrusion isn’t the only threat to your home threat. A comprehensive smart home security system—like one from Vivint—keeps your home secure in multiple ways:

• A 24/7 monitoring team that always keeps an eye on your home, alerting you and the first responders if an alarm is tripped or something is amiss. 
• Security cameras that monitor your home inside and out, including a doorbell camera, are essential.
