Popular DIY burglar alarm kit components include magnetised door sensors, which can be installed wirefree on doors and doorframes. When the magnetic connection made while the door is closed is broken by an intruder attempting to enter or leave a room, the sensor sends a wireless signal to the DIY burglar alarm base alerting the security system to a breach and raising the alarm for residents, neighbours or the authorities. Another popular wireless element in a DIY security system is the infra-red motion detector, which uses infra red technology to monitor movement in the home and alerts the burglar alarm system to movement in rooms which are supposed to be unoccupied, signifying a possible intruder. Homeowners installing a DIY wirefree burglar alarm can also opt to add options such as panic buttons or distress alarms allowing peace of mind for residents who may feel vulnerable to an intruder within the home.
