If you get an alarm system a couple of things I would consider: Get either motion detectors inside (not good when you have animals in the house) or glass break detectors. If you just have the window frames wired then somebody can just break out the glass and come in without disturbing the frame. The break detectors will set the alarm off when it "hears" breaking glass (only when the system is armed). They work very well. I would also put a very loud siren/horn somewhere like in the attic pointing out a gable vent or something like that. Monitoring is great but usually by the time the local authorities get the alarm and get there the burglar has robbed you and gone. If you have a LOUD siren/horn it is likely to scare the bejesus out of em and also alert your neighbors who hopefully will at least look out & get a description/ license #. If they cut the phone wire before they break in then the alarm wont be reported...at least not as anything except a trouble alarm. I have had 2 systems with wireless contacts where it wasnt very accesible. They have been totally reliable for me and just need batteries about every 5 years.
