With home security systems increasing in popularity, there have been a growing number of reports of unqualified security system installers faking qualifications and taking innocent clients for a ride. People have been overcharged for poor quality systems that are putting families at risk.
We put our faith in professionals, often without checking their credentials which has proven to be a costly mistake for many Australian families. People looking to employ the services of any security professional are encouraged to check the validity of the providers licence on the relevant state website to avoid being stung.
Some of the worst reports reveal that cameras are being wired incorrectly resulting in loss of footage and potentially deadly electrical shorts. Other reports claim that the cheaper equipment used by these dodgy installers is easy ffor intruders to bypass, leaving the vulnerable open to attack.
Although the friendly team at Brutus Security do not currently offer installation services, they care about the security of families on the Gold Coast and urge families to do their research and background checks on security installers to ensure they aren't putting themselves at risk. They explained that a home security system can give a false sense of security if incorrectly installed. Families think they are safe so are less alert to their surroundings making it easier for intruders to enter.
So if you are considering home security please ensure that you follow this great advice from Brutus SecuritySecurity.
