x10 Protector Plus Home & Family Security System thats what ive been looking at.kinda seems like a infomercial to me.i guess i really need wireless because it would be imposable to wire it with walls already in my house i have 2 main points of entry that im worried about and a cat so motion sensors would have to be able to overlook her

I just did a search on eBay for home alarm systems. There's quite a range of stand alone alarms with motion detectors as well as a lot of wireless alarms with multiple sensors for doors, windows, etc...

In a handbasket
Raggie, I'd suggest magnetic sensors on the doors and PIR sensors aimed high enough to ignore the cat. Better PIR sensors have both adjustable sensitivity and duration-of-motion threshold adjustments. I'd probably buy the wireless transmitters off the shelf and shop for some good PIR sensors to connect to them.
