During this time, we've honed our testing process to look at over 100 distinct factors to determine how well a system works. Each time we update our reviews, we also update our scores based on how customers currently perceive the products. We do this by extensively
researching user reviews at retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe's. When we test, we borrow some of the DIY security systems from their manufacturers and buy others. Although we may reach out for technical support or for clarification on a particular feature, the companies have no input on our testing practices and we don’t share our results or rankings with them before publishing our reviews. As we researched this topic and security systems in general, we reached out to Jamie Vos, vice president of the Electronic
Security Association ESA for his thoughts on DIY systems.
Here’s a quick summary of their pros and cons:You can control
your garage door, lights, locks, and more right through your cell phone.

This DIY home security system activates the siren then dials your phone or sends a text message in case of intrusion.
With the remote monitoring you can call the system at any time and check the status, remotely arm, or disarm the alarm and use the intercom function. This allows you to protect your home and your belongings easily with a simple phone call. The Dual network will allow you to connect the unit to both your
landline and GSM simcard in the event that one fails, this provides back up security. The landline protection allows you to be protected if your landline is cut by an intruder with a siren that automatically sounds.
