In today's connected world, security devices have become an integral part of our lives, providing peace of mind and protection for our home and family. Whether it's surveillance cameras, ring doorbells, or other home security products, these devices rely heavily on a stable internet connection to function effectively.
In fact, one of the top reasons users experience frustration with home security devices is the inability to connect to their home internet. However, resolving connectivity confusion for home security devices does more than just alleviate customer frustration; it also provides a variety of benefits for customer support agents.
Reduce resolution times with WiFi visibility
When customers encounter connectivity problems with their security products, they often turn to the device manufacturer's customer support team for assistance. Yet, resolving these issues can be a daunting task due to the lack of visibility into the customer's home network. Customer support representatives are typically unable to remotely diagnose and troubleshoot WiFi connectivity problems, leading to long resolution times and heightened frustration, which customers often take out on support agents.
Improve security subscription services
In addition to providing security, many security companies offer subscriptions for ongoing monitoring services, providing a steady source of revenue. However, without a reliable internet connection, the security products cannot communicate with the monitoring system, rendering the subscription service ineffective. This connectivity barrier not only impacts the customer's experience, but also hampers potential future profits for security companies.
Enable mission-critical monitoring with 24/7 connectivity
Perhaps the most critical aspect of WiFi connectivity issues impacting security products is the potential failure of these devices when the connection falters. Whether it's a surveillance camera, a doorbell camera, or a smart lock, these security products heavily rely on the internet for real-time monitoring, remote access, and emergency notifications. If the WiFi connection is unreliable or intermittent, the devices may fail to provide the intended level of security, leaving customers vulnerable to potential threats.
