What might improper setup of an alarm system fail to provide?

The improper setup of an alarm system primarily affects its ability to deliver essential security functionalities. When an alarm system is not correctly configured, it may not operate as intended, leading to gaps in security that can leave a property vulnerable to unauthorized access. Basic functionalities are fundamental to the operation of any security system, encompassing the core features meant to protect against intrusions.

In addition to failing to deliver standard security functions, a poorly set up alarm system can also lead to inadequate alerts for potential threats and insufficient feedback mechanisms for users, compromising their ability to respond to security incidents effectively.

Consulting services for installation may not be directly impacted by the alarm system's functionality itself. Rather, these services are intended to ensure the system is installed correctly from the outset. Thus, while consulting services are important, they do not directly relate to the consequences of improper setup in relation to the system's security capabilities.
