Lead From The Front: Surveillance Cameras Solutions

In the security industry, video surveillance is by far the most eye-catching deployment.

Poorly installed equipment becomes an eyesore with the Integrator’s name attached. Poorly installed systems also tend to create service nightmares. For recurring revenue, security installation companies should be selling maintenance contracts, but these contracts should be more of an insurance policy.

Repeated truck rolls also cut any recurring revenue and can lead to a loss of revenue.
