Interior Sounder – Siren Motion Detector – Located inside the home to detect changes in a room caused by human presence. Detectors are available for people who have pets. Door and Window Contacts – Detects when a window or door is opened. Glass Break Detector – Detects the impact and frequency of breaking glass.
