DIY SECURITY PLANNING · PHILADELPHIA PA

How a detailed DIY installation blueprint, custom cable routing guide, and direct equipment shopping list allowed a homeowner to build a pro system in one weekend.

The challenge

James was handy with basic tools and wanted to install his own home security system, but was overwhelmed by conflicting forum advice, lens millimeter confusion, and fear of drilling through historic brick masonry incorrectly.

Local security companies quoted over $5,000 for standard wireless equipment with mandatory $45/month monitoring.

We make an impact through our work

James completed the installation over a single Saturday for $680 total hardware cost—saving over $4,200 compared to installer quotes.

His rowhome achieved an exceptional 90/100 defense rating.
