I already have a battery-operated smoke detector, so why would I need one installed as part of my security alarm?

Since you own a smoke detector, you obviously realize what an important safety measure this device is. That’s good. Smoke detectors are highly effective in preventing loss of life and property.

I’ve heard so much about these "wireless" security devices. Do they really work & how long do the batteries last?

Yes on both counts! Technological breakthroughs have led to the development of wireless electronic security products, and their effectiveness has been proven time and again over the years in millions of installations.

Speaking of sensors, how are the "glassbreak" kind operated?

"Acoustic" glassbreak sensors, usually mounted on ceilings or walls, work by "listening" for the sound of breaking glass in a window. "Shock" glassbreak detectors are mounted on the window and "feel" the shock of breaking glass.

I have a dog! Does that mean I can't install a PIR?

Absolutely not. Recent innovations in security technology have resulted in the creation of "pet immune" motion detectors-allowing dog and cat lovers to enjoy the same level of protection they would receive with a standard PIR.
