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".

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 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

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

Does this link work - Advanced Search ?

Doing an advanced search for "security system" yields very weak results. Many are old and not current to today's technology, in another the OP deleted all of his entries, and others discuss only surveillance.

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.
