What type of alarm system do you have ??  (brand / model)

is it suppervised by a central station?

Is the system rent or yours?

I would not advice you to play with it, But there is a way to trigger an
output of the panel to show that the system is armed, that output could feed
a led or a light, visible from the outside..

This light is pretty cool to know that system is armed, but at the same time
it will show that it is not armed..so be carefull about this..

one way I found to not tell if a system is armed or not is to use 2 led in a
simple plastic cover, no one see there is 2 led, one is simple red led, the
other one is flashing red led (one that you can have for car alarm system)
when the systeme is disarm the flashing led is powered, and when the arm
status is trigered it will power the standard led.. so you know its armed
when its red solid...

a crook would only see a flashing red led as in car system and think its in
armed state..
