• Extra transmitters can be connected to areas such as the garage, barn, or storage building.
• Some motion detectors can be installed to activate a series of inside lights when movement is detected outside.
• Motion detectors can be purchased from companies such as, Honeywell and First Alert for as little as $15.00.
• Motion detectors with battery back-ups are handy in case of a power outage. This is a time when intruders are more likely to invade your home and you want to be protected.
