Day-One Move-In Defense

Move In Protected, With a Plan

Boxes everywhere, movers in and out, and twelve tabs comparing doorbell cameras. Moving is hectic enough without security becoming a “we’ll get to it eventually” project. We build your move-in security plan before you get the keys, so your home is protected from day one.

Move-In Philosophy

Day One Beats Someday

New Home Construction and Move-In Security
Design security before the first box is even on the floor

The problem with “we’ll sort the house out after we move in” is that it rarely happens. Six weeks become six months, and the old door codes still work and the doorbell camera is still in its box. We design your security before the first box is on the floor.

Service Overview

Learn About New Home Security Setup

A complete security plan built from your builder’s plans or your new address before closing. We examine the property and the surrounding area, then give you a prioritised 21-point checklist for re-keying, network setup and device placement – all in order of importance: locks and access codes first, then camera coverage of the main entrances. The plan is finalized by the time your furniture arrives.

Move-In Triggers

Sound Like You?

You are between offer and closing and want protection in place the day you get the keys.

You are building a new home and have the plans ready.

You would rather move into a protected home than retrofit one later.

You keep meaning to install cameras and change the locks once things settle down.

You want to avoid old contractor codes and unprotected side entries on day one.

Move-In Vulnerabilities

The Six-Week Gap Nobody Talks About

Ask anybody who has moved recently on what was actually secured in week one, and they’ll say that nothing much was secured. The old garage code is still in use. A printed password is still taped to the router and stays the password for the Wi-Fi. Consider this, a stranger has been the ‘de facto’ owner of the front door for the entire time, and no one has re-keyed it. The only real solution is to make a plan ahead of move-in day, not when you're actually living in the space. Because once you are actually living in that space, it's going to stay that way for much longer than you’d like.
