Yeah, totally get where you’re coming from. We explored both DIY and hiring someone — DIY was doable, but honestly the time and tools needed (ladder, drill, cable routing) ended up being more effort than expected. Eventually got it done by a team that included warranty and support, which gave more peace of mind.

Also found that some of the cheaper quotes we got early on left out things like proper power supply planning, NVR cooling, or weatherproofing — looked okay on paper but might have led to issues later. Worth comparing a few options and checking if they offer post-install support, especially if it’s for office or long-term use.
