<human>: What are some of the best ways to make a DIY home security system?
<bot>: 
1. Install motion-sensing floodlights around your home and install timers on them so that they turn on and off at night.
2. Use wireless doorbells or chimes with built-in speakers, cameras, and sensors for an easy way to monitor your home from anywhere.
3. Set up an alarm system using door and window contacts, pressure pads, or motion detectors.
4. Consider installing outdoor lighting that is activated when you're away.
5. Add extra locks to doors and windows.
6. Use a keypad lock system where each user has their own code.
