You are now ready to test your setup!
There are two main ways you can test your system. First, you can use a fake device. This is a fake device, which appears just like the real thing. It doesn't function as well as the real device. The sound it makes when it turns on is identical to the real thing, if it was functioning properly. There are downsides to using a dummy gadget. First, it won’t give you any insight into the functionality of your system. Second, it might look suspicious to people who see it sitting around. If it is stolen, it can pose a problem.
You can also test your system manually. You'll need to test every aspect of the system, and ensure it works correctly. You might check that your motion sensors work properly, that your cameras record, and that the doors lock correctly. Make sure that you test all of these things at least once per week. Once everything is tested thoroughly, you will be able to feel confident that the system is working properly.
