HIGH-SECURITY SYSTEMS DESIGN & INSTALLATIONS


There should not be an expectation that a residential system is not a "secure" as a commercial system but polling says that this is the perception held by most respondents. Perhaps the security industries prolific marketing on these "Free" or nearly free mass-market "Piece-Of-Mind-Systems" has materially influenced the public's assessment. These cheap systems simply provide sub-standard protection and are only commensurate with low-information highly intimated opportunistic criminals. They have a much higher monthly monitoring rate and stringent long-term contracts.

There are numerous simple circumvention techniques available on the internet, instructional videos on YouTube, and other detailed vulnerability information within nefarious publications. To the skilled and passionate security practitioner there are of course reasonable cost effective countermeasures for each of these system attacks. SSi thoroughly details these circumvention techniques within our system design proposals with line-item specific Threat vs. Countermeasure equipment listings.

Investment in a properly designed system with reasonable countermeasures to known threats to protect loved ones and assets will ensure a superior performing system with significantly lower cost of ownership over other providers.
