David M asked:


Hi, i’m trying to figure how to make a home security circuit. I can’t figure how to make a buzzer go off if a door/window is opened. Am i right in thinking i’m going to need a parallel circuit with with 2 resistors with a higher resistor above the door (higher resistor meaning with more resistance) and a lower resistor on the door for when the door’s closed. Thanks

What is the most effective home security?

Sunday, May 11th, 2008
HLBellevino asked:


We are going to be buying a house this year and are going to have a security system installed. Which is the best company or type of alarm? I have seen the coating for windows that makes them almost impossible to break through, how much does it cost and does it really work? Any suggestions on home security will be appreciated. We will be getting an English bulldog and have 2 cats so motion detectors inside are out.

Could you get in trouble for putting BRINKS home security signs around the house if you don’t have BRINKS?

I do not subscribe to Brinks but I found Brinks picket signs and stickers that say “This home is protected with Brinks home security.” If I put those out in front of the house, would I get in trouble?

Thank you and God bless!

My main reason to stick the BRINKS stickers is to scare off burglars but I guess free advertising too.
