So I am in the market for a home alarm. Not really sure where to start. Hope someone has been down this road and can offer some advice.
Is this something for a do it yourselfer? Are the DIY systems as good as the corporate outfits? Is one brand better than another?
This is for the home I am living in, not a house under construction. I assume that will mean using wireless gadgets and such. I think I just need the basics like a main controller, some window/door contacts, and maybe a motion detector for backyard. One small thing, I need it to work on the driveway/alley gate. That's important.
TIA
