I was at a hardware store in Boise and saw a customer trying to buy a wireless alarm kit for his whole house.
The clerk was just ringing him up without asking any questions about the layout or what he was trying to protect. I think pushing a DIY system like that for a full home install is a bad idea that sets people up for weak spots. What's the best way you've found to politely tell a DIYer they might need a pro?

Ever think a pro install was overkill? I used to, but a friend's system missed a key entry point.

Tbh a lot of DIY setups just protect the obvious spots. Pros actually know where to look for the sneaky gaps.

The clerk didn't even ask about the house layout? That's setting someone up to fail. A pro would spot the weird spots a homeowner might miss. It's worth the extra cost to get it right.
