I’m a pretty technical person, and I’ve been hooking up car stereos amps speakers compacitors and so on since I was 16. I’m 24 now, I also built computers for years overclocking and have networked one of the most elaborate home networks I’ve ever seen. I got all 4 of my computers talking, print server, flashed the firmware in a wireless router to create a wireless bridge and stream media from my media center computer through the Xbox 360. I’ve also worked as a web designer and coder. I’ve also have done some work on cars like alternators, serpentine belts, starters, brakes rotors, oil change.
I’m a do-it-your-selfer mostly because I’m broke.

I want to install a remote starter and car alarm system on my wife 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara. I got a system like this installed on my car and few years back and it cost me (parts and labor) $380. I’ve reasearched and I’ve found an instructional dvd that seems pretty informative on this subject. I can find these remote start/alarm system on the net for around $100 and the dvd is $40.

I think I could hook one up myself, but I’ve just never done it before.
How hard is this to do? Based on my background do you think I could do this? I’m really looking for answer from people who has installed a system like this themselves

Crime will never go away. There will always be crime and one of the constant problems that homeowners worry about is the ability to protect their property and keep it safe from harm. So many homeowners these days think that a burglary will not happen to them – but in today’s climate of uncertainty and recession, burglary is more prevalent than ever.

So what steps can be taken to protect our homes and make them secure and safe from harm? By installing a burglar alarm system you will vastly reduce the chances of burglary and have peace of mind both when you are not in your house and when you are asleep at night.

There are two mains types of burglar alarm system and these are wired and wireless. A wired burglar alarm is the one we traditionally think of as the most common type and uses wires to connect the alarm sensors to the main control panel. They are generally more reliable than wireless systems as they don’t suffer from interference in the same way. They should give many years of trouble free service. Wired systems are often used in the commercial sector more so for their reliability.

However, there are some disadvantages to be aware of. There will be an awful lot of upheaval during the installation. In order to run the cables, floors will need to be lifted, walls channelled and skirting’s removed. As this work could run into days, be prepared for a lot of disruption for this time. Also, if in a couple of year’s time you decide to fit additional sensors, maybe because of a house extension, you will have to go through similar disruption.

On the other hand, a wireless alarm system is a breeze to install – in fact, most DIY’ers can install a complete wireless alarm system within an hour or so. The control panel will need a power feed and possibly the alarm bell box but the bulk of the installation work (ie alarm sensors) just simply needs to be screwed to the wall and you’re done. It’s a very easy installation – most homeowners should be able to install a wireless system. So, you might think a wireless alarm system is expensive? Absolutely not! With the advancement of technology and due to high demand for this type of product, the price of these systems is surprisingly affordable. Shop around on the internet to get an idea of prices. Interference too is virtually a thing of the past as these systems are more reliable than they once were a few years ago.

Whatever system you decide on and if you don’t want to be the next victim of crime and burglary, act now rather than waiting until the unthinkable happens.

We live in pretty high-tech times.  There are home security systems so advanced that they can identify a person by their fingerprint or voice.  Of course, most people don’t use or even need such an elaborate system of protecting themselves and their property.  But even the common home alarms used these days seem complex compared to what our ancestors might have used.  That’s not to say that these ancestors didn’t take measures to protect their homes.  The most basic home security technique, the guard dog, has been around since ancient times.

Home alarms as we know them today (that is to say, not animal) can be traced back to systems of bells, gongs, and chimes that were developed to sound if an intruder entered a home, although the first electric alarm was not invented until 1852.  This home alarm was designed in Boston by a man named Edwin Holmes.  It used electromechanical tripwire technology to set off a gong using a three-dimensional coil called a solenoid.  This alarm was simple but introduced a conept that is still important to modern alarm systems: using loud noises to draw attention to a break-in site and scare burglars away.

Holmes developed his invention into a business, which he ran out of New York until 1905, when it was bought by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.  This company introduced the concept of monitoring services, by linking Holmes’ home alarm systems to police and fire departments with the help of an advanced electrical grid.

The next big advancement in burglar alarm technology came in the form of motion sensors, which were introduced in the 1970s.  These motion sensors detected movement by using basic ultrasonic technology to transmit a series of sound waves to and from the sensor.  An intruder would trigger, or “trip,” the alarm by interrupting these waves.  Thus, this technology essentially eliminated the need for actual tripwires.

Throughout the 1980s, motion sensors evolved and improved a great deal.  Ultrasonic technology was replaced with infrared technology, which reduced false alarms, or “false positives.”  This is when an alarm goes off in the absence of an emergency or problem and can be a waste of time and resources to the homeowner as well as the response units involved.  Better electrical were also developed that allowed for more comprehensive security systems.

In the 1990s, home security systems became more affordable and subsequently more commonplace.  Many of the cheaper packages being offered included free installation, and home systems began to be connected via telephone lines to the security company itself, in addition to police and fire departments.  This allowed for even faster response times.

Nowadays, burglar alarms are continuing to get even better.  Home surveillance cameras are becoming increasingly accessible, adding a visual component that helps identify criminals.  Wireless technology has also advanced in recent years, causing wireless systems to become more popular, as they are easier to install and use than their traditional wired counterparts.  And as for the future of home alarms, who knows?  Maybe someday soon everyone will be using retina-scanning technology instead of a password to activate and deactivate their systems.
