Hi all,

Had an attempted break in Friday night.
Convinced they were after the car so time to beef up the security a bit.
I already have a house alarm that works off a motion sensor in the hallway.
What I want though is vibration sensors on all windows and doors so the alarm goes off before they get in.
Complete novice with this sort of thing so looking for any advice if any other members have gone down a similar route or is there something more I can do that would be more effective?

Cheers

Thanks for the replies guys.
I already have a dog so OK on that one.
Good point on the motion sensor CCTV cameras but wouldn't they be going off every time a cat or fox walked across the garden?
I also thought about posts in the drives but a friend told me had them and they rammed them over to get the car off the drive.
I'd be looking at hooking the vibration sensors up to my existing alarm system, anyone got an idea on rough costs?
Downstairs we have a front door, side door and patio doors at the back.
There is also the kitchen window, living room window and dining room window (each has two opening windows if that makes sense)
