Great idea Alf that is one I am going to look into setting up.

Perhaps these are comprehensive points to be kept in mind for defense and tactical planning.

Old Marine Corps trick, on barb wire or trip wires, would also work on chain link fence, hang a few empty cans, place a few pebbles in each can if the wires or fence are shaken as in some one trying to climb over the pebbles rattling in the can makes a racket.

  I have two N R A  stickers on the house in places where they can be seen in low light. right by the doors . if any one comes to the house they will see them and know that i have firearms in the house for home defence. and will use them if i have to....

there should be a sensor adjustment to most of the IR units. this way you can play the sensitivity and get past the false triggering.

Downside is that when you're NOT home anybody who comes to the door will know that there are firearms inside to steal.

I've got two of those early warning systems you mentioned Alf.  Fortunately the larger of the two has a method to her madness.  When she hears someone or something walking by our apartment, she grofs and growls while running to the nearest window.  However if our door handles are even touched, she'll let ya know she's going to be your greeting party.  And that couple of seconds is plenty of time to reach my Win. 1300.
And this kinda of discussion is why I love this place.  I'd never dream up some of this stuff that just so "K.I.S.S".

My garage is right below my bedroom...keeping the keys close to the bed and hearing a disturbance you can, if you so choose hit the "panic" button on the vehicle remote.  Horns / lights sound, may drive off a bad booger.  After hitting the "panic" button, grab the pipe by the bed...usually 3 to 5 inches in length if ya get my drift!!
