DIY Home Security is a popular method for securing your home. There are several things to look for in a user-friendly DIY home automation or security product.

These include being self-monitored, having no monthly fees or contracts, and being easy and quick to install yourself.

Whatever security system you choose, it should also add security to your home and not interfere with the comfort of your daily life.

Self-monitoring security features

Smartphone notifications –
When a potential intruder attempts to enter your home without authorization, you can be notified on your smartphone.

This gives you the opportunity to take immediate action to protect your home, valuables and family.

Door and lock condition report –
Your home is an easy target for thieves if your door is unlocked. Being able to remotely monitor the lock status of your door is invaluable.

Additionally, if your door is ajar, especially if it is visible from the street, you are displaying your vulnerability to intruders in the area.

A good self-monitoring security system should let you know if your door is open and how far it is open so you can take steps to secure it.

Access management –
With a mechanical door lock, you must distribute keys in order to allow other people access to your home. This can include anyone from loved ones to dog sitters to entrepreneurs.

This poses a threat to your home security as keys can be lost, stolen, copied, etc.

The best way to give other people access (and revoke it!) is to use a smart lock. Access is granted via a unique virtual key to each authorized, non-shareable device.

This gives you the added home security benefit of being able to see the history of who entered your home and when.

A good smart lock allows you to schedule when other authorized users can enter. This is ideal for ensuring that your housekeeper (housekeepers, contractors, nannies, pet sitters) can only access your home when you want them to be able to.

This feature is also great for vacation rentals because you can schedule your guest to have access only from check-in to check-out.

There is no risk of them stealing a key or copying it.

Home Security Automation Features

AI-Enhanced Tamper Detection –
Artificial intelligence allows a smart home security system to detect when someone is interacting with your door in an acceptable manner and when someone is trying to enter without your consent.

Security Alert –
In addition to the smartphone notification mentioned in the previous section, a good security system includes a built-in alarm system that automatically sounds when it detects tampering with the lock.

This keeps potential intruders away without you having to do anything.

Auto freeze –
For the most relentless would-be invaders, Shepherd Lock freezes in a locked position to block any unauthorized entry attempts.

No contract and no monthly (or upfront) fees
An obvious benefit of keeping your home secure is reduced costs.

The only cost should be what you pay for your system/device and nothing more.

As described in the sections above, technology has advanced to the point where self-monitoring your home is a safe and convenient option. You should be able to do this yourself for free.

There are many systems that claim to self-monitor but charge an upfront fee to operate.

Why pay for the product and functionality as well?

The best rule of thumb is to buy a device that doesn't block features behind a paywall.

Easy and quick installation
Shepherd Lock only requires a screwdriver and 5 minutes to install.

From there, it should be easy to set up any app that lets you self-monitor your home security.

It is essential that your home security system is easy to install and use.

Practical features

Remote lock/unlock –
Using a smart lock as a DIY home security system has an added benefit
to be able to remotely lock and unlock your front door from anywhere (a Wi-Fi bridge is usually required).

This is great for quickly locking the door if you or a family member left it unlocked when you left the house for the day.

Keyless entry –
We recommend Shepherd Lock for all the security and DIY features already mentioned.

But it also gives you the added convenience of letting you enter and exit your home without the need for keys (or a passcode/fingerprint).

The lock communicates with your phone via Bluetooth to check if you are authorized to enter.
