How to Get a Cheap Home Security System

You need a cheap home security system

There are several ways to build a cheap home security system. Some are electrical devices, and some are simple things you can do to make your house safer.

Instructions

1. 

   Purchase a small yard sign that advertises that your house is protected by a name brand home security system whether it is or not. A burglar can't tell the difference by looking at the sign. Most would move on to a different potential less secure home.

2. GE sells small cheap home security systems through Walmart that you can add to piece by piece. They have window and door alerts as well as motion detectors.

3. Place a motion detector in each large room on the bottom floor of your house. Place a window or door alert in any room that doesn't have a motion detector on the ground floor. Very rarely will a thief climb to a second floor window.

4. A great cheap home security system is to keep windows and doors locked. Almost half of thefts were caused by unlocked doors or windows.

5. A dog is also a great cheap home security system, as well as a good companion. However make sure you get a breed that will actually bark at an intruder.
