Whenever you are shopping for a Security & Safety system for your home, office, shop or any other premises, here are some pointers that can be used as a checklist to evaluate your options:

Telephone Support: Does the vendor have a local phone number to call?

Sales Support: Can the vendor understand your requirement and recommend a solution?

After Sales Support: Can the vendor help you to install and troubleshoot any issues?

Return Policy: Does the vendor refund your money if the system doesn’t meet your expectations?

Dependence on Power: : Ideally the system should be able to work with or without AC power to make it truly failsafe. If it is dependent only on AC Power then it can be easily hacked by cutting off the power to your premises.

Dependence on Wi-Fi: Ideally, the system should be able to work with or without Wi-Fi through a built-in SIM Card slot. If the system is dependent only on Wi-Fi, then it is easy to hack by shutting off the power or the Wi-Fi router.

Wireless: Is the network completely wireless or do you have to dig up your walls to install it?

Motion Sensor: Is there a separate PIR Motion Sensor or is it video camera based sensor? Insist on a different Motion Sensor, which is extremely dependable and accurate – as your entire home security is dependent on its working accurately. Video-based sensors are not dependable at all.

Security while outdoors: Can the system protect you only within your home or can it also protect you when you are outdoors using wearable technologies?

Price: Is the system affordable?

Ease of installation: Will you be able to install the system yourself in under 5 minutes? Or do you need an installation engineer?

Ease of use: Can you understand and use all the features of the system easily or do you have to be a Computer Science Engineering Graduate to use the system?

Avoid crime: Can the system help you to deter crime? Most standard CCTV camera-based systems can only do a Post Mortem of the offense but cannot inform you when the crime is being committed.
