The New Trade War—What You Need to Know

Welcome Back to One Systems Installation’s Newsletter!

Dear Valued Customer,

You’ve probably seen the headlines; trade wars, tariffs, and economic uncertainty are making waves worldwide. But what does that mean for businesses like yours and industries like security systems installation? More than you might think.

With President Trump’s aggressive tariffs on imports from China, Canada, Mexico, and the EU, industries relying on metal, electronics, and tech components are already feeling the pinch. At 1 Systems Installation, we specialize in cutting-edge security solutions, and we understand how these shifts in trade policy will affect the availability and pricing of essential security equipment.

Here’s what you should know:

Rising Costs for Security Equipment
With a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum, plus new duties on electronics, cameras, and wiring, the cost of security system components could rise. This means businesses will see higher prices on cameras, access control systems, and other security infrastructure.

For example our suppliers just informed us that prices for Akuvox video intercom systems are set to rise by 15% once the current distributor stock is depleted. This trend is likely to affect all products manufactured overseas once local stock runs out.

Supply Chain Delays
The uncertainty surrounding tariffs has disrupted global supply chains. If Manufacturers are hit with higher costs or shipping slowdowns; which they are definitely going to be, delivery times for security system installations will be affected. That’s why we’re staying ahead sourcing the best products and maintaining strong relationships with suppliers to ensure smooth installations for our customers.

Why Investing in Security Now Makes Sense
While tariffs could make equipment more expensive in the future and already are to some great extent, now is a great time to invest in upgrading or installing your security systems before prices potentially rise. Our team at 1 Systems Installation is committed to providing top-quality security solutions with efficiency and precision, ensuring your business stays protected—without breaking the bank.

At 1 Systems Installation, we pride ourselves on getting the job done faster and neater than the competition. Whether it’s 30 cameras in a day or a full-scale system overhaul, our expertise ensures seamless installations that safeguard your business.
