I agree with Alan's post.  Find a local dealer willing to sell you a
motion sensor (may as well go with a pet-proof one like the Paradox
DG-75 and a glass break detector (one of the Intellisense "FG" series
would do nicely.  They're easy to install.  Use red and black for your
positive and negative power and the yellow and green for the normally
closed switch contacts.  If you can't find what you're lookin' for
locally (or you figure the prices are just too high), you can go online
and look for them.  There are several online dealers listed here:
