Their real question is simpler. What happens when the alarm goes off? A security system explainer video answers it and shows the path from consultation to installation. ![Security camera mounted on a building](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/security.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Phaeng _yo / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/security-camera-on-a-building-17440970/).

Then play through an alarm: signal, verification, notification. Separate clearly what the system does on its own and what requires a monitoring plan. You do not need break-in scenes for this. ## What to bring to the brief System overview, consultation and installation steps, what each plan includes and screenshots of the app. Check response paths and times against your actual contracts. Leave out figures that do not apply to every customer. ![Electronic door lock on a wooden door](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/lock.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Sucipta Mahendra / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-of-a-door-knob-20901468/).

Ask customers what they would do if the alarm sounded. The film should not promise complete protection against break-ins. ## Related reading - [Show customers how your service works](https://caprivideo.com/guides/b2b-explainer-videos) - [Explain security services without exposing the site](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services/security-service-explainer-videos) ## Related pages - [Industry group: Local services & trades](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services) - [A little more background: Show customers how your service works](https://caprivideo.com/guides/b2b-explainer-videos) - [Explain a difficult appointment with care](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services/estate-cleanout-explainer-videos): Families often decide under time pressure.
