Even though my primary concern is burglary while nobody's home,
however, I suspect that once I learn more about the system, I may arm
it at night.  That's how they show burglaries happening in many movies.
 I guess that means you can arm the window/door sensors without arming
the motion detector (which is more likely to get false trigger if the
owner got up at night and forgot about it and tried to go downstairs
and get something to drink)?
