D.I.Y. Home Security

theodp writes "The NYTimes reports that pre-wired home security installations by alarm companies are on the way out. Thanks to wireless window and door sensors and motion detectors, installing and maintaining one's own security system is becoming a do-it-yourself project, with kits available from companies like InGrid and LaserShield. Time to start cranking out some new iPhone and Android apps, kids?"

    "My dog barks, I shoot."

    That's what makes me think you aren't being that careful.

    You did NOT say "My dog barks at someone inside my house whom I have identified as an intruder, I shoot."

    We talking about potentially ending someone's life here. If you want people to think you go through a carefully thought out process before shooting someone then you should say so, instead of stating just the opposite.

    By your own statements: Dog barks, you shoot. Someone gets close to the house dog makes scary noise.

    Therefore the kids ball rolls into your yard, dog will bark and you will shoot kid.

    Unless the homeowner calls directly. There is just too little qC in DIY systems.
