help selecting a security system
A couple times, I've come home and noticed that my door is unlocked when I always make it a point to lock the door. I've also noticed that the garage door keypad was flipped up a time or two and I never leave it up on the very rare occasion that I use it. Nothing that I know of is out of place inside though, which is nice, but it's still a bit unnerving coming home to find evidence that someone has been trying to get in, or has gotten into my house, so I'm looking for a solid DIY system with a couple requirements. The house already had an ADT system installed when I moved in, but that's just stupid expensive with their monthly fees.
Here's what I'm shooting for with budget of preferably under $300 and certainly under $500:
- 4+ door sensors
- 3+ motion detectors
- 1+ camera that doesn't have to trigger the alarm. Just record 5 minutes prior to the alarm and 10 minutes after the alarm has been tripped
- audible siren
- some sort of notification system or even real-time camera streaming via the internet
I've looked at AAS Alarm systems (specifically the S400, which has everything except the camera), but reviews and credibility for AAS Alarm seem a bit sketchy, so I might pass on them.
