Ok so we are moving next month into a house that we will be renting. Unfortunately, ADT & Brinks dont let renters use their services…which is ok because we dont plan to rent the house forever, so their products would probably be a waste of money anyway.
Ive been online FOREVER it feels like, looking for a home security system we can install ourselves. Ive heard wireless is the easiest way to go? We just dont want to have to pay a professional to come out and do it. I have NO idea how to find what Im looking for or what products actually do what we want them to do. So Im hoping that maybe somebody can steer me in the right direction if I describe what I hope to find…..
Like I said, wireless would be great. I want something not too difficult to use….we would like to be able to monitor all the windows and doors in the house (there isnt very many). And MOST OF ALL, I want something LOUD. Id want the siren/alarm to be able to be heard from the next door neighbors houses….I figure, if the alarm isnt very loud, what good does it do? Im hoping that if (God forbid) anyone ever tried to break in, the alarm would scare them away if they know everyone can hear it and cops may very well be on their way….
I have a 4yr old son and I want to do anything I can to assure a sense of safety in our house.
Any info or help would be greatly appreciated. Does anybody know of a system that I should purchase?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
buy a gun and a dog those are the best security systems around.alarms are a joke in my opinion.it tells the robber he has to be fast at what he is doing.
HC, Nearly 2 years ago I had someone try to break into my condo. It was late at night and the lights were off, but I wasn’t yet asleep. I heard someone trying to pry open the back door. I sneaked into the living room and switched on the outside lights. It scared the burgler and I saw him run off. . I then called a couple burglar alarm companies in my city and they all came out to give a quote and explained to me the installation and monthly fees. I suggest you call a local home securty installer to get your questions answered. http://www.homesecuritysystemratings.com Almost every alarm companies offer a free installation special, so inquire about that too.
