Step #1: Planning
The first step in setting up a DIY security system is planning out your setup. Make sure you choose motion sensors that fit your needs and the layout of your property. Consider what kind of alarm signal you’d like, whether you want an audio or visual alert, and where to place the alarm system box.
Step #2: Installing the Motion Detectors
Once you’ve determined the layout of your motion sensors, start installing them. Use the high-quality extension wires to connect the sensors to the alarm system box. Make sure you firmly attach the sensors to the ground and that the wires are secure to prevent tampering.
