Some people love the idea that they can install the system themselves, while others are concerned about being able to do the installation correctly. Additionally, some people want a professional to come to their home and show them how the system works, while others want to figure things out on their own. Which kind of person you are and what you can accommodate in your daily schedule are both going to matter when you are considering the installation options. With a DIY installation, there’s no need to worry about the timing: You simply get the equipment and hook it up when it’s convenient for you. That makes it a lot more convenient for people with busy schedules. But one problem with this kind of installation is that no one is there to walk you through how the system works. You also don’t have someone to help you get it hooked up, and if you have to work with customer service over the phone, it can become stressful. Still, there’s something that feels quite nice about being able to install the system yourself and to get it working right. Some security systems require incorporating your new system with your existing wiring which means you will need to have the right tools for the job. Anytime you’re dealing with wiring and electricity, you really need to know exactly what you’re doing and have the tools to do it properly. Otherwise, you could end up damaging your new equipment, your existing wiring, or creating a fire hazard if it is not installed properly.

The control panel, cameras and smart thermostats will require connecting to a power source and possible drilling holes in wall to connect wiring. The security camera they offer is not a pan tilt camera. Meaning, users cannot turn it right and left using a smartphone. Their door sensors and motion sensors have a small red light indicator that will light up if triggered. The control panel is touchscreen and functions much like a tablet. Motion detectors, door and window sensors along with their unique touchscreen control panel compare it to Vivint sky here.
