Step by Step Instructions
- Begin by choosing a place to mount your alarm equipment. Make sure it’s in an area that’s out of reach of potential intruders.
- Using the tape measure, measure the perimeter of the area that you want to guard.
- Next, mount the door and window contacts at each point, using the drill and screwdriver.
- Once the contacts are securely in place, connect the motion detectors around the perimeter.
- To make sure the motion detectors are working properly, install a signal booster in the area.
- Finally, attach a remote control to the system to allow you to easily deactivate and reactivate your alarm from anywhere.
