They go right up to video camera stuff so you should find a good package. - Don't forget to haggle over the price. We got a huge reduction when we asked nicely.

They sell all sorts of alarms (windows/doors/whole house)along with inverters and wind turbine thingys.
Was in there today....no idea of prices as I didn't ask.
Take your German phrasebook with you!!

canadian bob said:About 10 years ago in the States I bought an alarm that can't be topped!
It's a tape recording of an attack dog in a plastic box about 8"x6"x6". It "sees" through a reinforced concrete wall. Adjustable sensitivity, Dog reacts (barks) at any moving object. Battery or 110V with transformer. The closer the movement, the louder and more agitated is the bark. No need to feed, walk or take this dog to the vet! It never sleeps...I don't remember which store, believe it was in an alarm systems one. Cost me $110US. Nobody breaks in when they hear this dog. Canadian Bob.
Ken said:Sounds great, CB. Do you have information on a source?
