Home Security System?
My neighbor just got broken in yesterday and I’m thinking about put in the home security system at my house. Can anyone please recommend one? There are so many out there. I need to keep the cost as low as possible. If you have experienced with one please let me know what you think of them, the good and the bad.
Thank you for your time.

all home security systems offered by companies like ADT,will charge a monitoring fee, this can be expensive. you can go to radio shack and get almost the same stuff. plus with radio shack stuff you have the convienince of adding additional equipment to the main system,grant it radio shack isnt the top of the line but it its not bad,you can also get infrared-motion sensing color cameras. the are relatively inexpensive. you can place them in areas wherever you want. menards may still sell a motion sensing light that you can hookup to an outside source and with this kit there is a separate plug in piece that you can put anywhere in your house and plug things into it.when the motion sensor is trippped,whatever you have plugged in to the separate piece will turn on. the nice thing about this is you do not have to have the light in the external motion sensor itself and the internal connection still works by doing it this way if the internal piece is activated the would be robber will not even know that he tripped it,you can add up to 4 internal sensors on the 1 outside motion sensor.also all you have to do, other than wiring the external fixture is simply plug the internal piece in-thats all. the only bad thing is if you want additional inside alarms,they are not sold separate, so you have to buy the whole kit for each additional inside alarm.i think they are about $40.00 a piece. i have two of them on my house and they work great. my neighbor has one that he has hooked up to a an external loud speaker, its pretty f***ing loud and when it goes off it emits a siren noise. i will definately be enough to draw some attention. you may also want to contact a security company and see if you can get an evaluation and some tips to make your home less penetrable
If you check out monitored home security systems, you should definitely add Monitronics to the mix. I think they have plans starting at around 30 bucks a month, which may include fire and carbon monoxide monitoring as well. I think you have some freedom to customize your own system.
