What you don't see

With a security installation, as a client you probably only see 30% of the work that's been carried out, for example the cameras or the PIR's and key pads.

The remaining 70%  of the work goes into the cable installation and the main control panels which are all hidden behind walls and control panel lids.

Now you may be thinking, "well i don't need to see that" or "it doesn't matter about the cable" but you may be surprised whats lurking behind those wall or panel lid.

Below are some picture from recent take overs and you may be shocked to the see the mess these panels are in.



The problem is that badly installed cables lead to faults, which in turn lead to lots of call outs to fix the faults so when an engineer comes round to fix the system they will have to spend an long time (which you are probably been billed for by the way) just trying to find the right cable and trying not to cause any other issues.

One thing at Sensory that we are very proud about is our high level of installation as this delivers a superior and reliable system for our clients. Also, if a fault occurs we can quickly and efficiently diagnose and trace the fault back with clear and  neatly installed cables.

Below are a couple of picture of some equipment that has been installed by our installation teams.




It may be more work and take longer to install but the results are well worth it and i wouldn't have it any other way. We can walk away from any job and hold our heads up high knowing we have done it the best we can.

So next time somebody has quoted you a cheaper system just stop and think about why they are cheaper and what corners they are going to cut to offer you that price. It may be cheaper at the start but it may cost you further down the line.
