With the TS7000 voice dialer, do your
neighbours not receive a call when your alarm goes
off?
Also, the SK8000 has a 20 hour standby
battery, so I guess it would keep the siren going even
If said burglar
unplugged

Or have I missed
something?

security system
It wont send X10 when motion is detected or a door
is
opened.
Have you
thought about a Powermax system or Comfort?
