That is why if you choose to put in a security system be sure to include motion sensors and a glass break sensor in your system.

Motion detectors do work, but if you have a pet, forget it!

Regarding glass breaking sensor, they can be problematic also.
Years ago we had one.
When the lawn guys did their trimming, the noise would set off the alarm.
There are other sounds that will do the same thing, so just be aware.
