The following points must be kept in mind while installing the DIY burglar alarm system:

- The signal strength and background noise levels in the proposed location should be checked before the devices are mounted;

- The transmitting and receiving devices should not be mounted under metal lintels placed on top of windows, doors etc. because they affect transmission of signals;

- Any wiring into the transmitters and receivers should be kept away from the aerials.

- Receivers or receiver aerials should not be mounted near to electrical distribution equipment, televisions, computer equipments or large metals.

- Make sure that the remote aerial is mounted in the correct orientation. Never clip any other cable close to the aerial or the aerial cable. Also, try not to run your aerial cable next to mains cables.

- In case of very thick walls where the signal strength is weak, the receiver or its aerial should be mounted high up in the loft.

- Survey the premises carefully before installing the detection devices.
