Security System Installation Across Burlington’s Neighborhoods
Burlington’s mix of older and newer homes presents real installation variables, variables a national installer often won’t recognize until they’re already in your home.
Historic Downtown & Burlington Heights
Home styles: Late 19th and early 20th century homes, including Craftsman bungalows, foursquares, and mill-worker cottages
Common challenges:
- Older wiring, including knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, requiring evaluation by a licensed electrician before hardwired devices are installed
- Narrow wall cavities that require careful planning
- Plaster walls that demand experience to avoid unnecessary damage during installation
Glen Raven
Home styles: Established neighborhoods with a mix of older homes and mid-century builds
Security considerations:
- Camera placement needs to account for narrower lot separations and shared driveways
- Proper positioning is important for full perimeter coverage and protection of entry points
Elon, Mebane & Newer Suburban Developments
Home styles: Newer construction with larger footprints, open-concept layouts, and more entry points to secure
Security opportunities:
- Supports deeper Alarm.com smart home integration
- Allows cameras, smart locks, lighting, and thermostats to connect through a single app
Every system Caudill’s installs is designed around your specific home and property, not copied from a template.
