[sudo-discuss] Home security systems -- experience?

[GtwoG PublicOhOne]

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.
