Home Security System, Who/What Is The Best?

[H60CrewDog]

Just moved down to the springs, I'm looking for a new home security system.

What do y'all have and what are some of the best features in your opinion?



Trying to prevent shots fired inside the house, if I can burn the bridge before they get inside.

I'm interested to see where this goes.

Roll your own. So much cheaper and better than anything you can "lease".

I was recently looking into this, and there are about 10 recent threads on the subject if anyone wants a head start.

We have outside cameras and inside dogs, no kids so firearms are on hip or within reach... LOADED & CHAMBERED.
Entry door hinges and strike plates have 3"+ screws anchoring them to frame.

A reply to your last sentence is something left for another thread. As there's a few ways one could / might interpret it

Another vote for roll your own.

It's relatively easy these days, and the quality of gear you can get is way better than most of the lease/rental deals.

I have used a basic monitored ADT system for 11 years at two different houses and been very satisfied. No video, just the doors, several motion zones and fire/CO detection.

Even if you roll your own, you can provide visual deterrence. I bought a couple ADT yard signs and a bunch of ADT window stickers on Ebay. Of course, motion detectors on outdoor lights are a good thing. Since we have a long driveway, I have a magnetic alarm to alert us when a vehicle arrives but isn't triggered by deer.
