re: Home alarm system...who do you use?

I've looked at this system a little. Seems like it gets pricey up front if you have a lot of windows/doors to monitor. Do you monitor every window of your house, or do you just use a motion sensor?

I use entry sensors on the doors leading outside. I also have entry sensors on windows I believe would be used as prime entry points for thieves. I augment it with motion sensors.

If I was to do it again, I would have just used entry sensors for the outside doors, and used motion sensors for key rooms with potential entry points (rooms with multiple windows, garage, etc). Much cheaper that way.

I have a two story house so the only sensor I have upstairs is a motion sensor for the hallway.

I have never used the glass break sensors.
