Who told you that hardwiring was not possible?  You probably just got
some inexperienced or lazy jerk who couldn't/wouldn't wire it.

All in one, as in integrated, as in burglar comes in - hears the
thing, unplugs it from the kitchen phone jack, then steals it - with

Call another few companies to find out what *can* be wired, and what
can't.  Use wireless sparingly if needed, with a wired control panel.
