FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between DIY and traditional home security?

DIY home security is different from traditional home security in two key ways. First, DIY home security does not require contracts. Most traditional security companies require contracts up to 5 years. Second, DIY security is designed so that you can easily install it yourself, without any fancy tools or professional technicians.

Do I need indoor and outdoor security cameras?

You’ll make the final decision, but indoor and outdoor security cameras can be helpful in a variety of situations. AVT Security's indoor camera is useful if you have children and pets, so you can keep an eye on them no matter where you go. However, the outdoor camera is going to be more useful for keeping track of intruders and visitors on the outside of your home.

What should I look for in a DIY home security system?

There are three big factors to consider when shopping for DIY home security—ease of installation and use, quality of monitoring, and price range.

That’s why AVT Security comes with an on-screen installation guide that walks you through the whole process. Once you’re finished setting up your system, you want to be sure that it will be easy to use. AVT Security's user interface is intuitive and convenient.
  • Quality of monitoring — Many DIY security systems are self-monitored or rely on only one monitoring station. AVT Security uses 6 US-based monitoring stations, and every home security system is professionally monitored.
  • Price range — This is a big consideration for many shoppers looking for home security. You want to get the best DIY home security system for the lowest amount of money possible. AVT Security's monitoring plans start as low as $17.99/month.
How DIY is AVT Security? Is it hard to set up?

AVT Security is a DIY home security system, but not too DIY. Most users are able to set up their security systems in about 30 minutes. Setting up your system is easy. When your box arrives, you’ll open it and plug in your Hub and Touch Screen Panel. The panel will then walk you through how to place your sensors, which stick in place using a self-adhesive backing. Once you place your sensors, the panel will connect to the monitoring team.

Lastly, you’ll connect and place your security cameras using the AVT Security and Eufy Security apps. You won’t need any drills, wiring, or electrician experience to install your system. We provide wired and wireless doorbell camera options, so you can customize your system however you’d like.
