Smart Home Automation Technician

At Praos, we’re dedicated to our most important role—ensuring the safety of families and homes. This commitment goes beyond simply setting up a security system in your home or business. With years of local expertise and an award-winning service track record, Praos stands as a leading local Richmond home security company. With a monitored new system plan, new customers receive FREE Equipment and Free Installation.

But our efforts don’t stop there. We’re also at the forefront of creating a truly connected home experience. This means one connected app for security, automation, solar integration, and surveillance. Our team works closely with our customers to customize a smart home system tailored to their needs and budget. No matter where you are, you can have peace of mind knowing that your home is monitored and protected.

While the global home security systems market was valued at $52.3 billion in 2021, and is expected to reach USD $84.4 billion by 2027, and with solar integration offered by Praos, the growth opportunity is tremendous.

We built Praos to tip the odds of success in our favor, by using seamless digital technology to remain a 100% Virtual company, which allows us to maintain lower over head costs, provide lower prices, professional installation, and exceptional service. And, we are just getting started.
