Day-One Move-In Defense

Move In Protected, with Just a Good Plan

Boxes all over, movers in and out, and twelve tabs open comparing doorbell cameras – moving seems crazy enough without it also being a “We'll get to it eventually” project. This is what you get if you don't go through the hassle of installing a new home security system. Our move-in security plan is operated before we even give you the keys to the home, so the home that you move into on day one is the safest home it can be!

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 only problem with “We'll just take care of the house after we move in” is that you never move in! Six weeks become six months, and then you find you got old door codes to the home and a doorbell camera that you intended to install back in the spring. Our New home security installation can turn that around – We can design security before the first box is even on the floor.

Service Overview

Learn About New Home Security Setup

A complete security plan created shadowing 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 accordance with importance. Locks, access codes, and then cover the main entrances with cameras. The plan is finalized by the time your furniture arrives.

Move-In Triggers

Sound Like You?

You're in between the offer and closing phase and want to have the protection in place as soon as you take the keys.

You are new and have floor plans in your mind.

You're moving, and you really don't want to retrofit the house rather than move to a protected home.

You've been wanting to install some cameras and adjust the locks when you get a little time to get things settled 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.
