I already have a home security system and pay for a service. I would like to purchase some more sensors, etc. to make it a more robust system, but I don’t want to pay the service to come out and do it; as they cost a ton.

If so, do you know a place where I could purchase components?

If I have the most money in the world, what are some of the cool features a home security system can have?

I mean like if you walk on the lawn while its on then it will trip or laser beams pass hallways stuff like that? what is the most advanced Home security system money can buy? and what are its features!
Links and website would be appreciated
Why does everybody gotta be either a smart *** or an amateur ? if you cant answer the question in a decent way than dont answer at all! I am not saying i have that much mone. I had a bet on this subject with a friend of mine!!! thats all

I want to install a basic to intermediate wireless home security system to my condo and not sure which one to get. Basic requirements are

1. at least 5 contacts to secure window/door
2. will notify me through phone/email
3. pet immune motion detector
4. easy to install & expand (add more accessories later)
5. reliable and low maintenance

Price range is 200~300, I have no problem to go beyond that if it’s worth it. So far two brand names seem to be possible candidates, Skylink Deluxe Kit and GE Simon 3, but I’m not sure I’ve checked the right place for info. Can you suggest a system/model that would best fit my needs? and which vendor to buy from?

Thanks!

I just bought a wireless remote and I’d like to program it with my home security system. I have GE Networx NX-6 alarm monitoring system. Can anyone help?

I’m interested in installing a home security system, but am unsure about which kind to get. I keep coming across a company called Protect America that has good prices but I see bad reviews on the Better Business Bureau website. Any opinions about this company compared to ADT, Brinks, or Life Shield? Opinions please. My girlfriend is 7 months pregnant with our first child. I’m interested in installing one soon. Thanks.

I need to get a home security system for my house. I need one that is easy to use, and not too expensive. Which one do you recommend and why?"
thanks everybody

im moving into a new home and looking to add a home security system i only know of a few: adt and brinks? i dont know much about them.

A home security system is designed to be triggered in 96% of attempted burglaries. If 9 homes equipped with such a system experience an attempted burglary, find the probability that at least 8 alarms are triggered. Round your answer to four decimal places

I am looking for some simple ways I can make my house more secure (without paying for an expensive home security system).

as President? Can’t blame Bush cause Oliver North, under Clinton ( Democrat ) advised our government that Bin Laden was a threat, even had a Congressional hearing because of the 10K + he spent on his home security system, which he said was the reason during his Congressional hearing, so once again how is this Bush’s fault ? 9/11 is Bush’s fault, what BS, when Obama supporters take credit for no attacks since. Sorry Liberals, I know how you get when faced with facts.

BREAK ADT SECURITY SYSTEM?!!?
Okay, so my parents recently started using our ADT home security system after they realized I was sneaking out. My system does not chime when you go in and out of doors and windows. However, when armed, the system can tell if any entryway is open. I know this because I just tried keeping my window open tonight before it was turned on and the system would not turn on because my window was open.

Just so everyone knows, I am not a minor. haha. I am eighteen years old. I just have really strict parents that don’t like me out late.

I just want to know how I can go in in out of the one window in my house without tripping the alarm or my parents being able to tell. They wake up extremely easily, so I would not be able to make noise on the keypad. Our system is pretty advanced I would say, and comes equipped with these little remote pad things that are actually portable, so maybe I could do something with that? The main keypad however, is in my parents room, so there is no way I could have access to that and if the slightest noise was made on it, I would be dead.

There has to be some way to just cut that one window in my room off or just trick the system. Someone, please help a teenager out! I feel trapped! I just want to get out! I would pay good money to actually get a solution to this.

Additional Details:
The window I am trying to get out of is a slide window that snaps into another outlet of the window into the wall. Attached to a bracket of the window, are two electrical wires…?

how does one go about starting a home security system company? where can u buy the the security systems and how would you get started?

I have a voip service similar to Vonage and have the home security system connected to my voip phone. The setup was working fine until recently when the home security system started causing static interference on the home phone. I bought a DSL line filter and connected the security system phone line thru the dsl filter into the phone adapter but it didn’t work. The static remained. Can anyone suggest how i can eliminate the static. Thanks

I live in a rented house. Every now and then I wonder if we should have a fire alarm and / or burglar alarm. But since it isn’t our house I can’t really get one installed. Is there such a thing as a simple home security system you can use for a short time in a rental property? And that doesn’t require lots of drilling or wire running?

I am planning to get a home security system and after weighing on my option between a monitored system from a DIY security system, I’ve decided to go for a DIY. I thought it would be more economical for me to do it than having some company do it for me and make me pay for every sweat on their foreheads. My neighborhood is also very peaceful and has not seen crime done for quite some time now. We also live in the better part of the city. I also installed security measures like adding more locks on my doors and windows, installing light sensors to almost every corner in my home, more outdoor light fixtures, more smoke and CO2 detectors, door jambs, even timers…but I do not sleep soundly. I wake up at night worried that somebody might be breaking in. My wife told me that a security system might do the job.

I made a little research and now I am ready to go buy. I saw several ads but I really do not need expensive systems. I looked on amazon, then saw what seems to be good buys on ebay. They offer packages with several door/window alarms, motion sensors, sirens, main panel with auto dialer, etc. and they are wireless. I am refraining a bit from buying now coz I am not sure if these systems are reliable and the sellers trustworthy.

Has anyone bought home security systems from ebay? How are they? The feedback from the buyers are mostly good, but Im still holding back. Any help?

I’m visiting family this summer in California but I just purchased a house in Texas. I’m a little apprehensive about leaving my house vacant for that long. I’ll be purchasing a home security system but I want to know what else I can do to keep it safe and keep the utility bills down while i’m gone? Advice or a website will be appreciated. Thanks!

I am Planning on getting a home security system. My credit union USAA has a special discount with ADT and my sister in law recommends Broadview. Which one is better? and why?

I am in the process of purchasing a home security, system and I am getting 4 quotes. The system will be monitor regardless of the type.
