And if the camera manages to capture something worth keeping, iSmart Alarm offers cloud storage for 10 second video clips free of charge. $150With all of the new products released recently the “professional grade” security market for DIY is finally becoming a reality. Historically this has been a “dealer only” industry. The difficultly purchasing hardware and getting manufacturer technical support, especially for warranty issues, has been a roadblock for DIY projects. But there ARE paths to tackle those concerns reliably. The real issue however is not where to get the equipment but what equipment do I need and why?Understanding DIY home security system basics is the first step. If you are a home security installation newbie then this series of articles are for you!Manufacturers have had pet immune motion detectors on the market for years and have made progress making them more reliable. We however have never felt completely comfortable recommending them to our company installed customers, especially Central Station monitored customers. Pet immune motion detectors are good at ignoring mid sized and smaller pets but are not fool proof. Even one false alarms a year is not acceptable. A standard motion sensor turned upside down or lens masked works better and provides less headaches down the road more install tricks later.

They are generally one of the “go to’s” for DIY home surveillance systems as they usually come equipped with a narrow, yet focused, field of view for hallways and other others where you need to view big distances within a narrow space. Outdoor ready dome cameras should always be weather rated to withstand extreme temperature conditions at the install location, and should also come with night vision so you don't miss any critical details. We also recommend choosing outdoor security cameras that are waterproof and vandal resistant for maximum protection on your investment. Wide Dynamic Range Cameras have built in technology which digitally creates a middle ground between the brightest and darkest areas within the camera's field of view. The enhanced color image is carefully balanced and transmitted to the digital video recorder assuring all areas within the field of view are perfectly exposed at all times. They are ideal for any environment that has large windows or glass doors such as office lobbies, convenience stores, and restaurants.

Brinks has integrations with Google Home making it easy to vocally control your system. I purchased Brinks Home Complete with Video, which includes the Brinks Home Touch, a SkyBell Slim Line Video Doorbell, a glass break detector, and a cellular communicator. Installation is DIY, although you’ll have some help over the phone, and professional monitoring is not required!However, if you do choose professional monitoring, Brinks only offers binding three year contracts, a definite drawback. On a more positive note, Brinks has a 4. 1 Google rating and excellent customer support reviews. To control and monitor your system, you’ll use the Alarm. com app, which has ratings of 4. 4 on both the Apple and Google Play stores. A fine option all around. Hi Caytlin, I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been burglarized!If you’re looking to self monitor, SimpliSafe is not a good choice as you won’t be able to livestream footage, receive notifications, or control your system remotely. Since your Internet connection isn’t great you should definitely look for a system with cellular or landline backup.
