[Evans, Marv]

I have the standard system with door & window sensors and motion detectors. I also have a driveway alarm (mostly for our convenience to know when someone arrives) and signs saying the place is monitored. I don't use a service to notify me because we live in an area where the Sheriff probably wouldn't get there in time. Also, the neighbors around keep a decent eye on people coming & going. I had it installed during construction, and have to admit it's mostly just a deterrent. I also have wiring for cameras, which I haven't gotten around to installing. I think in most instances the outside presence of cameras and signs would offer the most prevention. If an alarm would notify you & maybe neighbors, I think inside motion detectors would be good enough since they will probably break a door or window anyway for entry whether you have sensors installed on them or not.
