Why Consulting Is Critical

Many security systems fail due to poor planning — not poor equipment.

Without Proper Consulting, Clients Often Experience:

  • Incomplete or ineffective camera coverage
  • Over-engineered or underperforming systems
  • Proprietary platforms that limit service options
  • High service costs and frequent system failures
  • No clear responsibility for system performance

Professional consulting ensures your security system is properly designed, future-proofed, and aligned with how the property actually operates.

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) & Ongoing Support

A Service Level Agreement (SLA) defines how your security system is supported after installation — and it is one of the most important parts of any security investment.

A Strong SLA Provides:

  • Guaranteed response times
  • Reduced system downtime
  • Predictable service and maintenance costs
  • Priority emergency support
  • Extended equipment lifespan

Brookhill helps clients evaluate and structure security SLAs that protect their systems long after installation.

Choosing the Right Security Installer or Service Company

When selecting a new security installer or service provider, price alone should never be the deciding factor.

Important Questions To Ask Include:

  • Is the security system proprietary or open-platform?
  • Who services the system after installation?
  • Are replacement parts readily available?
  • Is there a documented SLA?
  • Are technicians in-house or subcontracted?
  • What does long-term support look like?

Brookhill consulting helps clients compare proposals, identify red flags, and choose reliable security partners with confidence.
