The DIY trend in New Zealand is continuing to grow at an outstanding pace.
Many people don’t realise that home security can also be DIY!
The older style alarm systems required an electrician or security alarm technician to install it which added to the overall cost and in addition to this often there would be an ongoing contract for the back-to-base monitoring service.
With the invention of wireless security alarm systems are there is no need to run wires between the alarm panel and other devices like PIR motion sensors, keypads or strobe sirens.
DIY security alarms have been around for about 30 years but over the last ten to fifteen years we have seen major improvements in the wireless technologies used and this is accompanied with enhanced features and functions.
They are also easier to install today than ever before!
In most cases all you need is a screwdriver, ladder and a drill. The components of the alarm system come with mounting brackets, screws and adhesive tape. All that is required is to secure the wireless devices to their relevant location.
Depending on how small or large the alarm system package is will determine how long it will take to complete the installation.
- PIR motion sensors and the alarm panel will take around 10 – 15 minutes per item
- Door and window sensors only 2 – 3 minutes each
- If you are including an outside strobe siren this could take between 30 – 60 minutes.
This could save you hundreds of dollars!
