Wireless Security Console
Wednesday, January 19th, 2011
Products that are user friendly are the mainstay of the manufacturing world. Nobody wants to use technology that requires them to learn hundreds of settings and complicated technical quirks. The DIY home security system industry is alive to this fact, and has started producing systems that the end user can install with only the gentlest of learning curves. Those products have also come down a lot in price over the last few years – things like PIR motion detectors and wireless webcams can be had for under ten dollars.
Things you’ll want to have a full blown DIY Home Security System
- Door and Window Alarm Sensors: Also known as contacts, these will set off an alarm if doors or windows are opened when the central alarm console is activated. They come in wired and wireless versions, and are very easy to install.
- Motion detectors: PIR motion detectors sense any changes to the heat conditions of a room, and thus can also serve as fire detectors.
- Surveillance cameras: With the mass proliferation of wireless webcam technology, this addition to your DIY home security system need not be expensive, but is a little more complicated than the rest.
Wireless Surveillance – What To Consider
The matter of position, powering, monitoring and recording the footage of your cameras can seem quite complicated to first-timers setting up their DIY home security system. Here are the things to keep in mind.
- Reception: You’ll need your wireless cameras to be in a location that doesn’t disrupt the signal as it travels to your central console.
- Location: Cover your chokepoints first, and your assets second. Chokepoints are zones people have to pass through to get into your home. Think doors, balconies and ground-level windows. These will provide more certainty of your DIY home security system capturing usable footage of criminals attempting to break into your home than if you place all your cameras near valuable assets.
- Power: You’ll want to have your cameras within ready access of power points. It’s also preferable that they have a chargeable onboard battery as a failsafe measure.
- Storage: A lot of people store their footage on in-house consoles, which is both a security risk and a waste of money. Online storage clusters have optimized storage space that they’ll rent to you at relatively little cost, which is also viewable online from a secure website. Try ONStor or PAR3.
