There has been a renewed interest in personal, residential, commercial and industrial security concern. Currently developments all over the world has made individuals ponder over 'what type of security systems' are necessary and 'how much can I afford' to spend to get it. The most ideal circumstances is to use the service of 'specialist' service to design and install systems in their homes, workplace or industrial facilities. The cost of labour has risen considerably over the years and coupled with lack of knowledge, many endusers ended up installing a system which may or may not suit their requirements and paying a high premium for it.

In the West where labour is always very expensive, it is common for end-users to install most of their household systems themselves. this trend is catching on in Singapore as many of the younger generation of end-users has spend a period of time overseas and thus not averse to 'rolling up their sleeves' and getting things 'fixed' themselves.

Changes in equipment design and comprehensive documentation and simplification of installation procedures has made it possible for the end-user to install many home systems themselves. The use of wireless systems has dispense away problems involved in wiring up the home to install certain systems.
