i'm not really sure about what was installed to be honest it just seemed
strange to me, but i'm not a pro.  i think he said they put in some window
alarms and door sensors.  i thought for sure he'd put in some motion
detectors in the garage or somehting like that, but i'm not sure what he
decided on.

thanks.......
