On Deck: SP&T News in June/July
|
Installation Focus:
Intrusion detection/residential
- The
extension of home automation options to the residential security market
could mean increased business opportunities for security distributors,
dealers and installers. SP&T News looks at a pre-programmed home-lighting control system that can interface with other residential security systems.
For security dealers and distributors, it's a way to up sell existing
residential system installations and increase revenue. Until now,
integrating a lighting solution into a residential security system has
been a challenging and expensive process.
But the emergence of easily installed residential lighting products —
either as stand-alone or integrated packages, is creating new
opportunities for residential security providers.
Technology Focus:
Home Automation/Audio
- There's
been a lot of talk over the past few years about home automation,
wherein homeowners can automate features such as lighting, heat and
even home theatre. More security installers are interested in merging
home automation with security, which could increase their value-add to
current customers and bring in new ones. But how do you get started and
turn yourself into a low-voltage specialist? In this game, mistakes
could be costly.
Special Topic:
Distribution
- Over
the years distributors have become essential partners to dealers,
serving as a means to run a business without having to carry costly
inventory. They also provide a means to finance their business and
ensure just-in-time delivery. SP&T looks at the
relationship that has evolved between distributors and dealers and the
top five aspects of the relationship distributors try to deliver on
most.
