FAQ

Can I start with part of the home?

Yes, you can start with one room or service then expand gradually.

What actually drives the price

There is no single price for smart home, and that is a description of reality, not an evasion. The items that move the number:

• number of lighting points and switches
• whether a neutral wire is present
• protocol: Wi-Fi or Zigbee
• number of motorised curtains

Why two quotations differ so much

The gap is always in the invisible items. A quotation 30% cheaper usually economised on one of them, and the difference shows up after a year, not in the first week. Compare the whole system — devices, cabling, and installation — not the price of one part.

For this specific case

Homes need coverage of the entrance, perimeter and ground-floor openings, with a strict line: no cameras in bedrooms or bathrooms, and outdoor cameras aimed at your own property, not the neighbour's. For an empty house, the instant phone alert matters more than resolution.

Before you decide

Ask for a survey before a price — a number given over the phone is a guess that changes on site. For this system in particular, have an electrician open one switch box and check for a neutral wire before you buy anything, and confirm the manual switch keeps working with the internet down. And ask what happens the day something fails: who responds, how fast, and whether the handover left you the documentation to let anyone service the system.
