Yesterday, there was a break-in at the neighbor house. In past few months, others break-in at the few house in the street. We are a bit concerned now and evaluation options to improve the security of our home.
I was looking at the possibility of installing Home Alarm/Surveillance camera system. What are your experience of the back to a base alarm such as ADT, Chubbs, etc.? Is it worth to have the monitoring company and would you recommend to go with anyone of the company (location in Sydney) or should we just install our own? Should we install both alarm and camera? Is it possible to do DIY installation and could you please recommend where and for how much we would be looking to spend?
Any feedback/suggestion welcome.
Thank you
I would recommend some sort of alarm first. Cameras do nothing if it comes to wearing hoods and sunglasses.
Get one which is either monitored or sends SMS's to multiple people to save on monitoring.
If your a handy man you could do the camera part yourself (Once you have an alarm etc)
