(1) I bought expensive wood exterior doors and I don't want to mount magnetic switches on their presenting surfaces. Are there sensors that I can recess into the top of the door frame and the top of the door which will be invisible, at least when the door is closed? I would think so. Where would I get them?
(2) Can 2 cat5 wire strands be used for wiring a magnetic door switch instead of using dedicated alarm company wiring? This would be convenient if it will work, as the cat 5 is already there and I'd have strands left over for other possible uses.
