DIY alarm system

[Jay Garrison]

Hi,

I have a unit that is vacant and I would like to take some measures to keep squatters out. Can anyone recommend certain cameras, or a device to put on the door in case someone tries to force entry? Thanks

You might want to check out Simplisafe as their unit is self contained cellular.  You can get door / window sensors, motion detectors and even cameras.  Service is not bad in terms of cost and it is easily removed and moved to your next project.  They often have package deals or refurb units to save money.  We have used their systems on properties that are vacant as well as a storefront as a security system.  The nice thing about this system is that you only need power - no WiFi required as most other systems require.
