I will DIY til the day that I die! Okay, a cheesy little slogan I came up with. But seriously, anyone paying for a technician to install their security system needs to chill and just try one of these! It’s the same equipment people!

Granted, I do realize that if you can afford a house for a security system, you can probably pay another $99 for installation. If your installation is anything more than $99 you might as well do it yourself and use the spare funds to pay for the first few months of monitoring.

I think the companies that offer this are smart so they can roll out nationwide and not have to worry about installation vans, techs breaking things at users homes etc. The tricky parts are when you get into camera systems and automation, then it’s tech-it-up time!

Honestly I was scared at first about doing my own alarm system. But the flexibility of it was great. I also liked not having a technician in my home learning about where everything is. I’m sure I’m just extra paranoid but by doing it myself I kept out any creepo that might be working for a security company to identify goods in users homes.

5/5 for me. Thanks for the tips

If it was still early 2000’s I would be hesitant about trying a DIY security system. Thankfully, technology has come a long way and I think technology will continue to get more user friendly. Several companies rely on consumers to be able to put their product together in order to use it. Luckily, these companies mention all make it easier than any kind of furniture project you may have tried in the past. Thanks for the great review on each one, they all seem like reliable options.

I like the DIY alarm systems because you can easily add to them throughout the years. With others, you have to call the company and pay for a tech to come out and install just a simple sensor (like a window or door). Getting a DIY security system allows you to expand it later on or even move with it easier. Thank goodness the companies have made the products more affordable so it is a viable option these days.

As appealing as this sounds, I wouldn’t want to mess anything up.
I’m a bit of a joke in my household because of my near zero DIY skills, and I wouldn’t want to bet my family’s security on it.

DIY is not my thing so I would prefer spending an additional 100 bucks for its installation. No matter how easy it sounds like, I’m still afraid of installing it by myself because I might damage the system and it would require me to spend for additional expenses.
