How to Install Independent Monitoring Systems

In lieu of a professionally installed security system, you can set up your own independent system. This is a standalone system that uses one camera for surveillance. An independent monitoring system can be set up in your home or business by using equipment you can obtain at most electronic stores. You can then determine which equipment you want to use to set up and install your monitoring system.
