One of the themes I have been presenting in my classes and speeches is the “professional” products and services that our industry can provide clients. It should be obvious to anyone that the flood of do-it-yourself (DIY) products combined with the megadollar advertising budgets of their manufacturers are enabling consumers to DIY their alarm and video.
I believe DIY security devices are providing a false sense of security for users. In the case of the doorbell IP camera, there have been instances in which cameras have been stolen off doors.
