Creating DIY home security systems

Summer is the peak season for home invasions, and while burglar alarms are a great deterrent, there are also some do-it-yourself options to prevent criminals from entering a person's home.

There a number of low-cost things a person can do to make their home more safe. One of the most common is to use a sturdy piece of wood to keep a window or sliding glass door from being opened, CafeMom.com said. People can also stack pennies on top of a vertically-opening window that will cause noise if opened. Consumers can also purchase reasonably priced battery-operated wireless window alarms and a door stopper alarm.

If someone wants to spend a little bit more money, they can purchase a wireless GE home security system that can be easily installed. There are also several home security system packages available from Protect America that are free when service is paid for.

DIY home security systems will be the most effective when all family members know how to use them properly.ADNFCR-3514-ID-19918555-ADNFCR
