In a good system, glassbreak detectors should not be the only form of
perimeter protection.   Wired screens, photobeams, even the lowly
plunger contact should be used to supplement whenever possible.

Every system should have some interior traps as well, be it passive
IR, under floor mats, interior doors wired, or ultrasonic or microwave
detectors.
