When you’re trusting someone to wire your home or business for security, it’s fair to ask: what actually qualifies them to do this work? Here’s a look at the certifications behind CWC Security’s installs, and what each one means for you in practical terms.
NYS Alarm Qualifier
This is the state-level credential required to legally design, install, and service alarm systems in New York. It’s not optional — it’s the baseline license that confirms an installer meets New York State’s requirements for the trade.
Control4 Certified
Control4 is one of the leading platforms for whole-home automation — lighting, climate, audio, and security working together from one system. Being Control4 certified means we’re trained on the manufacturer’s actual specifications, not just installing based on general experience. For customers, that means fewer surprises during integration and a system that’s set up the way the manufacturer intends.
Lutron Pro — RadioRA2 & RadioRA3 Certified
Lutron’s RadioRA lines are widely used for smart lighting and shading control. Being certified on both RA2 and RA3 means we can work with either generation of the system, which matters if you’re adding onto or upgrading an existing Lutron setup rather than starting from scratch.
Wisenet Professional Certified (Hanwha Vision)
Hanwha Vision (formerly Samsung Techwin) makes some of the camera equipment we install for both residential and commercial CCTV systems. This certification confirms hands-on training on their current camera and recorder lineup, which matters most when something needs troubleshooting down the line, not just on install day.
Why this matters for you
Certifications aren’t just a badge on a page — they’re the difference between someone installing equipment based on general know-how versus someone trained directly by the manufacturer on how that specific system is meant to work. It’s part of why we can stand behind the systems we design, not just the day we install them, but for years afterward.
