We live in a pretty neighborhood but there’s been a couple of breakins locally in recent weeks so I’m considering upping the visible security measures.
House is a standard 70’s 3bed terrace with integral garage. Upvc windows and doors, Bikes are well bolted down. with 2 small kids the house is seldom empty and we have a large dog so I doubt we are at a significant risk.
I don’t know anything about alarms but I think I’d like to protect front door, back door, rear patio doors and the garage. The dog is free to roam when it would be armed so I guess that rules out motion detectors? I’d like to DIY fit as cost is a consideration.
Any particular makes and models is should look at or avoid? What are the key features to look for??
