Why should you look at a Wireless Home Security System? Well the answers are similar to why you would have a cell phone? You don't want to be dependent on a land line when you are on the go. If a land line is cut and your home security depends on it, your security system is now useless. A wireless system resolves that issue. The second reason is convenience. Just like you have a cell phone to maintain communication on the go, with a wireless home security system, you can access and communicate with your system while on the go.

Don't Invest in Do-It-Yourself Home Security Until You Read This

Posted by Taniqua Pino on Mon,Aug 03,2015 @ 01:07 PM

Clearly, some DIY home security systems are as varied as the actual alarm system options. You can pick up the phone and have a system shipped right to your front door, you don't even have to leave your home. You can also stop at most big box stores and grab a home security package off the shelf, about as difficult as ordering Chinese for dinner. The ease of access to DIY alarm systems creates the aura that the solution to your concerns about your family's safety has a fast and simple solution. Too good to be true? 

Advertisers make it look so simple: Purchase your equipment, install it in a spare half-hour then marvel over how cool home security has become. You are then the official hero for years to come. 

Commercials and websites for DIY Home Security make Home Security Systems look as easy to install as it is to purchase. For some, this is not miles away from reality. In the same way that a commercial showing someone to plug in a VCR and view it a minute later isn't ions away from reality. People program their VCR's/BluRay players every day, but it's not quite plug and play. Home Security isn't quite a peel a sticker back and shove a sensor on the wall, then wave a magical wand and POOF!, State of the art alarm system.  

Make sure you have the best possible experience. Read this list of things consumers like you didn't realize upfront and avoid these problems yourself. Whether you decide to do a do-it-yourself install or a professional install, base your decision on great research and you'll probably get what you are looking for.
