Home security system you don't have the code? Home security

>>1086329
if you don't know the code to the sec system just call ADT and explain to them so that they can reset it.

> I'm pretty sure they will try to sell me a newer system
so what, are you that much of a cockmungling faggot you can't just say "no thanks, just reset this one"

you faggot

First off, where do you live? I'm guessing from the description, it's not a nice neighborhood.

Timeline:
0:00 Person kicks in back door
0:30-1:00 Security system alerts monitoring center that code has not been entered
0:30-3:00 Monitoring company calls you to confirm false alarm
0:30-1:00 You tell them it is not a false alarm
0:30-5:00 They contact local PD
5:00-30:00 They arrive at your house


Ignoring the fact that even once they get there they might still not catch the person and the fact that if they see a kicked in door they will call for backup. Best case scenario is that police will arrive in ~7 minutes. This is assuming that there is basically a cop down the block. They're not going to be rushing to your house at 100mph full sirens.

The average police response time is about 10 minutes nationally and a "good" monitoring center response is about 1 minute.

11 minutes is more than enough for a guy with a sawzall to grab a few hundred in copper.

Yes, calling a security company will have them try to sell you a new system.

Cheaper and just as effective is to just use a loud audible alarm. You already know the old lady across the street is nosy, just use her to call the cops instead of paying ADT.

Other things:
Motion lighting
Reinforced door jambs
Properly installed deadbolts

Those three are easily the most bang for your buck and call all be knocked out in an afternoon.

You can also:
Buy a dog
-Most robbers aren't going to even try with a dog.
Buy fake security system signs.
-Might scare off some stupid thieves
Park a car in the driveway
-Number one deterrent to burglars is someone home
Put lamps on timers in evening
-Home alone that shit. Much less likely to work on next door neighbor though since he will be able to look through windows with total impunity.
Casually bring up to the suspected thief that some cunts stole all the copper so you replaced it with plastic
-If he thinks there is nothing of value, he won't even bother risk it

Set him up and record him committing the crimes.

I've always wanted to get into stealing copper, but there's barely any abandoned buildings around my region. Anybody ever think of cleaning out buildings in Michigan then selling it in manitoba? I bet it would be simple to get over the border once a month.

Get a big loud dog op, a lot of black people saw the people under the stairs.

I live in a town in NJ that is literally on the same road as the police station although much farther down. Actually the cops are pretty excited to catch a criminal that is not a speeding ticket. The neighbors don't mind telling me when they see me what they saw but they are not into calling the police on the guy because you can google his name and he seems like a legend. He has been shot and arrested multiple times. I gave them my number but the one guy probably isn't going to call the cops on his son. Besides that I could put any piece of metal by the road and some scrapper would stop in less than 10 minutes to pick it up. I even saw my first female scrapper the other day. Scrapping is serious business around here. Its an ok neighborhood. I really just want that loud alarm siren that is already there to go off but the police would be a nice touch. I have motion lights and dead bolts. I'm going to add some of the other things you mentioned.

I considered removing my basement steps but I didn't want to kill anyone.

Yes I was reading about those security cameras from harbor freight last night but if I was a theft I would just take the dvr with me.

I think I'm gonna just get a bowl of dog food and a big bone. Stealing copper actually seems like a lot of work/risk for the payoff. I had a friend who sold his business and they were going to demolish it. He told me to cut the wire and take the pipes. Pipes under asbestos tiles. Pipes in the basement wrapped in asbestos. This is a lot of work com paired to what they pay you. I can tell you from my house they left more expensive items. They were only fixated on the copper ignored cast iron and brass. I guess you can't except too much from them though.

>I've always wanted to get into stealing copper

I've always wanted to skin copper thieves alive and spray them down with vernier and sprinkle on salt. Tie a rope to there ankle and let them run away before stepping on the rope and seeing them fall in gravel. I want to make the shit Mexican cartels do look petty. Anyone know any reason video related would not work on live long pork?

Too bad you can't type.

OP is retarded thinking this will work. You need to set up surveillance, and set up a loud ass alarm with those door reed switches.

>>1088053
I have the fucking loud ass alarm I just don't know the code. Thanks for being some typing expert on DIY though.

The DSC-832/PC5010 has tons of documentation online. You can find out how to do anything in seconds. I'm not walking you through it.

And yes, they are magnets but the proper term is door contacts. They are reed switches.

And you can buy a SimpliSafe system that's entire wireless if you choose. You're the monitoring services via an app. If that's too much money you can go with FrontPoint and they'll subsidize the system costs in exchange for a 2 year monitoring agreement. Basically material costs are embedded and you own all parts after the agreement. Mine costs me around $40 a month. Small price to pay for all the equipment they sent me. Actually got the panel itself for free and 3 months monitoring for free because it was slightly used.
