Collin: Thats a nice DVR, most likely a very high end unit, I have the intellicam DVR, does everything I need, except for the motion bit.

I have a 4-ch DVR that covers all the outside entrances, my goal was/is to use this as the first layer in my home security, to notify me of anyone on the property at the entry points BEFORE they break in. However on the lowest sesitivity settings for motion det. small changes like sun shadow or...

Thanks Steve, it seems the 5150 is my best bet for the basment windows. Thanks for all the support to everyone. Neil

What would be the difference between the Sentrol 5600 detector and the 5150 posted by Steve? Nei;

Steve and Pete: Thanks for all the ideas, the rest of the house is covered by cameras on the outside with motion detection monitored by the DVR, which then ties into the alarm etc. This is good, like you said Steve, this notifies you before they enter. 2 of the 3 basement windows are located...

Judging from the size of the window, it seems to me that kicking the window in, would dislodge it from the frame, IMO. Trying to see what would be the best approach. Because some parts of the year the window is left open, the mag sensor would not be the best approach, I think. Neil

I have 3 basement windows, I need to tie into my HA for security. Would mounting the flush mount PIR sensor Visonic SPY4 work in such a small area. Most likely the person would kick in the windows, so a glass break sensor is out. Trying to ge some ideas. The basment bar sensor would work...
