The hard drive that will store the recorded video and images – read my detailed guide to selecting the right hard drive. The Ethernet cables needed to connect the cameras to the NVRThe power adaptors for the cameras read on to see how you can avoid theseNow there are two ways of choosing the different parts above for your dream DIY home security camera kit – what I call going Pro DIY or Easy DIY.

benefits being maximum flexibility, power and economy.

A huge advantage of going Pro DIY is that you can also set up a home automation system that can talk to your CCTV setup!Easy DIY – An All in one pre
packaged solution where cameras are bundled with the NVR systemYou leave the tough work of building the kit to somebody else but you pay for the benefit.
As state above, a large number of burglaries are simply crimes of convenience and opportunity where
burglars target homes that are easy to get into.
Your DIY security system doesn’t have to be connected to a monitoring service that calls the police. It can simply trigger an alarm siren. But don’t
dismiss the importance of alarm monitoring. Crime statistics show that burglars aren’t scared away by sirens. They know it will take at least three to five minutes for neighbors to call the police and just as
long for police to respond to the call. A home security system monitoring service can contact the authorities much faster. Insurance companies understand the importance of faster police/fire notification, and many offer discounts to offset some of the monitoring costs. So check with your insurer.
