I just put in a wireless system - Fortress Security. I installed it myself in about 2-3 hours. It is not monitored, but if the system is alarmed, it will call up to five phone numbers and you can "listen in" when it calls to see if you hear anyone. When the siren goes off, it is 130 dB - I guarantee nobody will stay in the house when it goes off. What I wanted was, if someone came into my house while I was gone, I wanted a siren to go off to scare them away. This does the trick. A one time $120 and no ongoing monthly cost. The system I got included 5 door or window alarms and two motion detectors. Peace of mind.
