Why it matters
Security is easy to oversell, because fear sells the largest package. Starting from the property keeps the decision practical and usually cheaper.
The service life given to a residential security system. Equipment that is older than that is often still armed and no longer doing what the owner believes it is doing.

Entry points, lighting and what can be seen from the street are walked, not modelled. The right answer is usually smaller and cheaper than the biggest package on offer.
