$5 Dollar Burglar Alarm

I’m not sure I’d depend on this alarm as my sole home security solution (okay, I wouldn’t depend on it for any kind of serious solution, heh), but hey, it could be a fun project to get the kids involved in building. Practice those MacGyver skills!

  2. This is an interesting and even humorous approach to home security. I had to forward this to some friends. I think this is really cool. However, it may be a quick fix, but I certainly wouldn’t use it to substitute for professional alarm installation and monitoring services.

  3. Many alarm panel mfg’s have internet transmission modules. DSC, Ademco and now Paradox have modules which can accomodate your needs. There are also several universal versions which can connect to almost any alarm panel on the market.
