Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this book because I am considering a low cost, self-installed, self-monitored security system. For this purpose, the content was not particularly useful. There is very little detail about choosing or installing this type of system. In fact, much more content was dedicated to the virtues of professionally monitored systems, and so many specifics about ADT and Brinks that I wonder if those companies are involved in this publication.
The amount of repetition from chapter to chapter makes it seem like this book is a collection of magazine or blog articles, not a cohesively written manuscript. Content is not very well organized, bouncing among burglar alarms, security cameras, car alarms, and commercial alarms. There is virtually no information on setting up do-it-yourself home burglar alarms or surveillance cameras other than relegating this to "tech-savvy" homeowners.
Here is a quote from Kindle location 400:
"If you're serious about getting a home security surveillance system, you should do your homework. Learn as much as you can through the internet [sic], then make a thorough list of your needs."
I agree, and would skip this book if you are already familiar with the basics.
Here is another quote that speaks for itself, Kindle location 1360:
"Keep a dog - not the timid lap-dog kind, but the brutal, bone-crunching Pit Bull variety that is lean, mean and hungry for attacking or deterring potential thieves. Put up a sign saying you have a mean dog at the very least, this will make potential criminals think twice before entering your home!"

Here are some tips you can find in this book:1. Make your home look lived-in. There is no easy target for thieves and crooks than a house that looks secluded, dark and quiet just like no one is living there. Put in lights in strategic areas where anyone can hide from view or keep cover.2. Get a dog. Believe it or not, a dog is the best deterrent for any possible break-in. A dog with a snarling growl and that barks incessantly when agitated is the best distress signal. 3. Get those inexpensive electronic sensor devices for doors and windows. These gadgets easily detect body heat and movement and immediately set off a very loud siren or alarm bell to frighten off crooks and thieves.
