Big Savings with a DIY Home Security System
The wireless home security systems of 20 years ago were notoriously unreliable. They produced so many false alarms that many homeowners stopped using them. That’s all changed. Today you can buy DIY home security systems that have professional-grade wireless security equipment that’s extremely reliable, easy to install, and affordable. Basic DIY home security systems start at about $225 and top out at $800 or so. If you add wireless smoke/heat detectors, plan to spend about $1,300 for DIY alarm systems. That’s still about half of what a professional alarm company would charge. Monitoring service, which notifies the police or fire department, can cost $40 or more per month. But if you shop around, you can get it for about $10 per month.
We’ll show you how to plan your DIY home security system so you can get it up and running in a single day. Plus, we’ll show you how you can save money on equipment and neaten up the DIY alarm systems installation at the same time. Home security installation is easy. You just mount the transmitters at doors and windows and connect a control panel to phone lines and a power supply. All you’ll need are basic tools for a home security system DIY project — a drill, screwdrivers, wire stripper, and a small pry bar.
Save $100s Now—And $30 Every Month
Installing a wireless DIY home security system can be as easy as mounting transmitters on doors and windows and connecting a control panel to your phone line. You’ll save $300 to $600 in parts and labor costs. Better yet, you’ll avoid an expensive long-term monitoring contract with a home security company. Instead, you can shop around and choose any monitoring service you like. That will save you about $30 every month — forever.
