Security doors can be expensive, running into thousands for steel reinforced doors in steel frames. But there are cheaper options — a Burglarybuster Nightlock Pull Up Security Bar can be purchased for €69. This bar can be
laid across external doors at night. It reinforces the lower part of the door and means efforts to knock it in will create far more noise — always effective in deterring burglars. Windows should be fitted with locks. For ease of use, you can
arrange for all locks fitted to be opened with a single key. If you go to , there is a home security audit checklist on the site to help you identify potential weak areas in your security and offer solutions. We've all had those moments: we're on our way to work or even on vacation and wondered if we locked the back door or forgot to turn off the lights. Home security systems are getting more sophisticated, and can now help give some extra peace of mind. New alarm systems not only help people keep tabs on any unusual activity at their home, but they are making everyday living more convenient. "We've also built in the home automation capabilities where now you can control your lights, control your thermostat, you can control video cameras, and view video cameras and all of those devices work together seamlessly," said Xfinity Home Vice President Dennis Mathew.

We also look at whether the equipment in each system's starter kit requires additional tools such as screwdrivers and batteries. Finally, we time how long it takes to set up each component. We found Scout Alarm, SimpliSafe and abode easier to set up than most other DIY security systems. How much do DIY security systems cost?There are three costs you can expect with most DIY security systems: equipment, access
fees and professional security monitoring. You can expect to spend an average of $250 on equipment, though this goes up as you buy more sensors. Access fees are sometimes required to unlock all or part of a system's self monitoring features for about $10 a month. With regards to professional monitoring, you can expect to pay between $15 and $30 a month for the service, which generally covers any access fees as well. This is lower than the $37 average on traditional security systems and doesn't require a contract; not all DIY security systems have professional monitoring. What equipment should you get?Begin with a starter kit that covers your basic DIY home security needs such as the number of motion detectors and entry sensors for your home's size.
From there, you can choose other devices to enhance the surveillance around your home. Most of the systems we tested sell add ons to boost your security beyond the basics.

Still, it doesn’t hurt to be mindful and keep tabs on your network’s security, enable two factor authentication, and constantly update your system’s software. A home security system should be easy to navigate, and the system’s design should make sense in your home. Most of our testers had positive things to say about living with their home security systems. They reported that their systems improved their overall peace of mind. If you’re prone to fretting late at night or while away on vacation, home security systems deliver on their promise of reassurance. That’s not to say there weren’t annoyances — which can become major
sore points if you’re
interacting with your system every time you leave the house.
