We have every door and window monitored. If any door or window is opened there is a beep even if the alarm is off. The dogs know that sound. I can't go in my backyard without a dog entourage. The dogs are just yappers but they will alert us.

There was a TV show on a few years ago where two guys would get permission from the home owner. One of them would break while it was filmed. Then they would show the home owner how to better protect their house. They always pushed the home alarm systems. It would be interesting to find out from a real burglar if alarms were any real deterrent to the random burglary. I test my system about six times a year. I set it off on purpose just to see how long it takes the monitoring company to call me.
