DIY Security System Calls Your Cell When Triggered
If you’re looking for an inexpensive home security system that you can install yourself, X-10 has quite a few offerings.
For instance, their Protector Plus Dial-Up burglar alarm costs less than $100 and comes with several bells and whistles (well, actually they’re flashing lights and sirens). When triggered, the alarm also automatically calls up to 4 pre-set phone numbers to alert you and family members that someone may be trying to break into your home.
Security systems like this, while not the most high-end, are an affordable alternative to pricy security cameras and monitored systems run by alarm companies. The Protector Plus is supposed to be simple enough that the average do-it-yourself type can install without trouble.
