Guys, i need some budget type of home security device. U guys does any DIY? i'm into DIY, spare my budget alittle.

Please Advice.

saw some good one at Midvalley Exhibition yesterday. Cost RM500-3000

i think i will need some like motion detector... which on the spotlight on my garage, magnectic sensor for my door and shock sensor for my window... how much ar? wireless one

i was quoted 2 types:

1) sensor with automatic caller to your handphone if movement is detected by sensor - pay RM500-1600 depends on the number of sensors. Then RM 75/mth service charge

2) Automatic gate motor with alarm system - if without CCTV - RM 2000, with CCTV - RM3500. No monthly service charges. Can watch the video in CCTV via 3G/broadband internet. Anything detected through sensor you will be called via handphone

looks like the 2nd one is better wor....

but hor.. if u wanan watch 3g need to pay rite?

to wire the entire house with 15 motion sensors, 2 motion detectors(for roof), 2 keypads, processor board, siren with flash strobe, internal alarm, it will cost you from RM2k onwards.

Supa8, DF, are some of made in malaysia brands. Paradox is made in canada.

Prices can differs greatly with different installers, but almost all of them said they provide better service/after sales service and all sorts of standard pitch la.

Good luck.

And oh, by the way, the wireless sensors are operated with factory installed battery. i.e. you have to call the installer to install new batteries once it run out. Also, is hard to tell whether the sensor is working or not.

yeah that automatic gate with alarm system sounds like a better deal.

You need to install phone line in your house, so whenever your sensors detect something, it will call your handphone through your own house phone.

3G of course have to pay lah.

That company offer package without automatic gate claimed that they provide better service blah blah but they charge $$ for every damn things they install

How does the sensors and devices for this wifi system get their power? I assume they are using batteries? If the system is using batteries, it will have the same issues (battery running out etc.) as those wireless alarm systems.

those wireless one.. the battery we cant replace it ourself? WT.....

wifi... how is wifi down? all down ar?

yeah it uses battery. Can last for 1 year (you have to test it regularly)

Wifi? Got backup battery i heard. If all down, house&money also goes down to the drain lor

find those wireless sensor use AAA battery
can last for 10 month
1 vibrate sensor = 1 AAA batt

What brand of home security alarm do you use?

I saw a system named ADT in midvalley promotion recently, dont know good or not?

i was thinking bout IP CAM... but i sked later the IP CAM also kena steal..

my house alot of things kena curi la... those i put on my car garage one la... celaka betul la.. i wanan setup the camera and take their picture then send to police

Just curious where is your house? The police usually dont bother lah

USJ lor..near taipan...
what i heard is that there are bunch of indian guy, some children only... they will take watever SELL-ABLE.... be it cent or ringgit... headache...

i wonder if i hang paper...they will take or not...

last time my cloths hanger.. the whole shit gone... crazy...

gonna install an IP CAM...catch one by one.. saw one cheapest is prolink rm290 only... ip cam + can add another usb cam.

gonna catch that SHIT

ADT was a good alarm services company but you have to pay on monthly/yearly basis.

that if u dun pay cash rite? kenot pay cash?

i think since everyone have streamyx.. setup IP cam is a better. cheaper and accesible anywhere as long as u have internet
