correct me if I'm wrong. you said the motions are tampered to the wall and
the cover. so if a motion gets knocked off the wall the zone will be open.
this will alert the owner of the problem. if so then you have no problem.
do not think the owner has the tech expertise that you possess. he doesn't
know about tamper zones or deol. don't make your job harder by assuming he
does. he just needs to know that if a zone is faulted to go check it to see
whats wrong. right?
