Decommissioning is the clean, responsible removal of outdated low-voltage systems — old cabling, dead equipment, legacy security and AV gear — with secure data destruction and proper recycling. NetworkAware clears the obsolete infrastructure from a remodel or ownership change so the new system starts clean and nothing sensitive leaves the property intact.
Most often during a major remodel or a change of ownership. Homes accumulate layers of abandoned cable, dead alarm panels, and obsolete AV gear that clutter the infrastructure and can hold data. Clearing it out gives the new system a clean foundation and removes anything sensitive before the property changes hands.
Any device that stored data — recorders, controllers, network gear — is wiped to standard or physically destroyed before disposal, and the handling is documented. That closes a real privacy gap: legacy surveillance recorders and hubs often retain footage and credentials that should never leave the property readable.

It's the responsible removal of outdated low-voltage systems — abandoned cabling, dead equipment, and legacy security or AV gear — including secure data destruction and proper e-waste recycling.
Abandoned cable clutters wall cavities and racks, complicates new work, and in commercial settings can violate code. Removing it gives the new system a clean, serviceable foundation.
Devices that stored data are securely wiped or physically destroyed before disposal, with the process documented, so footage, credentials, and configurations don't leave the property intact.
Yes. Removed electronics and materials are routed to responsible e-waste recycling rather than landfill, and we can provide a record of what was removed.
Typically at the start of a major remodel or during a change of ownership, so obsolete infrastructure is cleared before the new system is designed and installed.
Yes. We commonly remove legacy systems and install the new structured cabling, network, and automation as a single coordinated project.
Yes. Sellers benefit from removing data-bearing devices before handover, and buyers get a clean, documented starting point instead of inheriting undocumented legacy wiring.
Yes. You receive a record of the equipment and cabling removed and how any data was handled, which matters for privacy and for planning the replacement system.
