Yo's-

Al Lasher's Electronics (University Ave, Berkeley) has everything needed for DIY security systems: control panels, sensors, etc., and how-to books for wiring it up, and expertise to help design it. Lasher's is an oldschool electronics shop that's been around since forever-ago, has all kinds of obscure goodies for hacker/maker projects, and has staff who know their stuff in depth.

Most security firms will insist on using their own hardware due to potential liability issues if they allowed interconnect to DIY systems. So one possibly useful approach is to hire e.g. Bay Alarm for the basics for working with their notification/security monitoring, and then build an entirely separate DIY system for enhancements that are particular to SR constituency.

Hey-oo!

Does anybody have significant experience with (building or otherwise) hown-grown home security systems? It seems that motion detectors with an alert connection to a security firm (or at least to your cell phone) might be one way I heard of. Anybody care to share their knowledge, either via the list or in-person?
