New York Times: DIY Home Security – Good For SMBs Too?

The Times describes several install-it-yourself electronic home security products that could as easily be used to secure small business premises.


“INSTALLING a security system has long been considered the domain of professionals — uniformed men and women who build an electronic shield around your home and monitor it from a command center.

But a new breed of home-security systems promises to be simple enough to install without any professional help, cutting the cost of traditional alarm systems by taking advantage of technologies like wireless connectivity and battery-operated sensors.”
