About Us

Security Consumer Guide is a research service for end-users to educate themselves on home security and surveillance systems. With original articles and how-to guides written by industry experts, SCG serves as a resource for consumers to make informed decisions before making a purchase.

We have many years of experience in the life safety industry. Over these years, this industry has changed dramatically. One of the biggest changes was the advent of the mass marketers like ADT, primarily operating on a low cost model for rapid acquisition of central station monitoring accounts.

A new development of similar proportions is taking place right now...2001-2007 (so far). This is the emergence of dealers and distributors supporting a do-it-yourself model for security solutions to end-users. Just as there a different levels of quality in equipment, there are also some resellers who do a better job than others. Security applications can be accomplished by a home or business owner, but it is important to have the needed technical support to see a project completed according to reliability standards.

Security Consumer Guide was created to provide objective advice on issues like product reliability, feature comparisons, application tips, and recommended resellers. Please email us any suggestions you have — we value your feeedback.

Look to us for future updates from the DIY Security sector.
