Home Security Systems
You don't need a professional installer or a monthly monitoring contract to secure your home. BigPassport's D3D home security systems are built for DIY installation — an alarm hub, door and window sensors, and a motion sensor that work together out of the box.
How a DIY Home Security Kit Works
A basic system centers on an alarm hub that receives signals from sensors placed around your home. Door and window sensors detect when an entry point opens. A motion sensor detects movement in a room. When triggered, the siren sounds immediately — no subscription or professional monitoring required, though you can expand the system as your needs grow.
Choosing Your Setup
- Door & window sensors: Place these on every ground-floor entry point — front and back doors, and any easily accessible windows.
- Motion sensors: Best placed in hallways or main rooms where an intruder would need to pass, rather than every room individually.
- Siren placement: A loud, well-placed siren is often the biggest deterrent in a DIY system — audible alarms alone stop many break-in attempts before they progress.
- Starting small: Many households start with sensors on main entry points and a single motion sensor, then expand coverage over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a professional to install this?
No, D3D systems are designed for DIY setup — sensors mount with adhesive or basic screws, and the hub pairs with them without any wiring.
Is a monthly monitoring subscription required?
No. The base system sounds a local alarm without requiring an ongoing subscription.
How many sensors do I need for a typical home?
It depends on your home's layout, but a common starting point is sensors on all ground-floor doors and windows, plus one motion sensor covering a central hallway or living area.
