1.0 out of 5 stars DUH ! Security bypass tips for pre-schoolers !!, March 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How To Circumvent A Security Alarm In 10 Seconds Or Less: An Insider’s Guide To How It’s Done And How To Prevent It (Paperback)

Save your money !! I am in the security business and was looking for some possible ways to test our systems against burglars, etc. NOT with this book ! Almost throughout the book the author assumes that the person (read employee) trying to circumvent the alarm system is ALREADY INSIDE the building and can wait for a quiet moment to cut & splice some wires.... right! Most alarm systems are installed to keep STRANGERS out !! Get real... write a real book on cirumventing security systems (from the outside) or retitle this book to "Employee theft made easy"

1.0 out of 5 stars A Total waste of money and time, January 15, 2002

I have to say that this book is yet another attempt of a so called security professional to rip off the consumer. There is absolutely no information in this book on how to circumvent an alarm system. His circumvention techique can be summed up in two steps: if the alarm system is disabled and you are already inside the house(hello!) twist the wires together which are connected to the transmitter. Otherwise cut the phone line. Gee thanks for the insight. Please don't waste your [money] like I did as this buck isn't worth a penny.

1.0 out of 5 stars No-Buy for PROFESSIONAL THEIVES, February 21, 2001

For all You PROFESSIONAL THEIEVES out there, this book is a no buy. This book assumes you work for the company and so can easily switch around wires, while on a break. This book really should be renamed to employment theft made easy. You cannot bypass alarm systems inside peoples houses with this book, unless your gonna rob your own house. Then this book is very useful.
