I would look online for something like a DSC Kit 120, you can hook up your
existing hardwired zones and also add wireless sensors if required..

The link below shows a store retailing them for less than $130.00, but if
you google DSC kit 120 you will find dozens of places to buy it from.

The kit comes with a control panel, keypad (with built in wireless
receiver), siren, battery and motion sensor.
