5 Costly Mistakes When Buying Security and Smart Home

We see the same security and smart home mistakes repeatedly, and every one of them costs more than the saving that caused it.

The short version

  • Buying on headline price and paying twice when it fails early.
  • Ordering short and eating a second delivery charge.
  • Ignoring the spec sheet because two products share a name.
  • Leaving the contract rate unasked — it is almost always available on volume.
  • Not confirming lead time against the site programme.
