Then take your questions to the online dealer. Between you, and the guy
who will mail someone with your vast security knowledge an alarm, I am
sure  a level of protection that exceeds anything the experienced
people here are discussing with you can be designed.
$200-$300 is way too much to spend on protecting your home & family.
Home safety should never cost more than $50.00. Seriously, it's not
like you're really protecting anything important enough to warrant
hiring a professional. Use the money you save for the things that are
important to you.......maybe like a TiVo, or a cell phone that takes
pictures.

Are you sure you're not in this business? You are so smart. Wow, I wish
I could protect the ones I love with your superior design.

And you will probably have the answer too. Guys like you know
everything. You have it all figured out. Trust me, you don't need our
help here. We need your help. You are a security guru.

Does a motion detector get set off by motion? Hrmmmmmmmm good question.
I always wondered if door sensors can really sense a door. I mean is it
sensing the door's inner-most thoughts, or is it just using a smoke &
mirrors detector to fool us all?

Oh no Thank you Mr. Acchevano.
