My house is fully alarmed.

Sensors for the doors and windows with motion detector inside.

Doors by the control pad are on a delay.

Other doors, like my glass patio doors and windows set off the alarm immediately.

It's so loud that you can't take more than 10 seconds of it blaring before you get ringing ears.

I've been looking at cameras for a while.

Always tempted by the wireless because they are easy to install. But not really, you still need to power them which means you are still pulling cable so might as well pull the video feed cable as well.

Easiest is if you have an attic and can just run everything up and make your connections there.

EDIT: Alarm systems are useless if you don't get in the habit of setting them. Rule in my house is even if you are going next door for 5 minutes set it. It becomes routine and at least if the rare event occurs and you come back to a tripped alarm you know to stay out of the house.
