Build A Home Security System

Home security systems are an effective way to deter criminal activities and safeguard valuable possessions.

Homeowners opt for high-quality security systems to monitor their homes remotely, while also enjoying the added benefit of lower insurance premiums, up to 20%.

Starting a home security systems business can be a profitable venture, especially as more homeowners prioritize safeguarding their investments.

To start, you can partner with a home security systems manufacturer as a distributor or technical expert. Alternatively, you can create your own line of security systems from scratch.

To become a successful business owner in the home security industry, it’s important to have a basic understanding of technology and electrical systems.

This knowledge will enable you to install the systems correctly and earn recommendations from satisfied customers.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a home security system:

1. Konnected Inc. ($840K/year)

Nate Clark, founder of Konnected, came up with the idea for his business when he realized there was a need for a smart upgrade to traditional home security systems. After developing an open-source version and gaining popularity on GitHub, Nate received requests to build units for others, leading him to create a physical product that allows homeowners to monitor their security systems from their phones. With approximately 9,000 orders per year and $1,000,000 in sales, Konnected continues to develop and expand its line to meet increasing demand.

How much they make: $840K/year
