Re: back up coverage when alarm not armed?

["petem" <petem001@xxxxxxxxx>]

a simple way of arming the damn thing when no one is there

use a panel like the paradox series that will arm itself automatically in
stay mode after no movement in the house for an hour..

that way at night the system arm itself and when they leave it will do it
again if they didn't armed it when leaving..its better to have some
protection then nothing...

but as jen said..if they are not careful enough to arm it every time they
leave well they deserve to be burglarized again...
