I am creating an list of sensors to by to protect the house.

1. What is a point of affixing window sensors other then to remind me
that windows is open before I arm the system? Why would thief open a
closed windows? It would be much simpler to break the glass and walk/
crawl in w/out moving a frame. Specially if thief sees security
sticker on the window, he/she would know NOT to move the frame


hope the sob gets cut!


2. Keeing 1 in mind, should I just get motion sensor for each area? Of
course just having motion sensor would not be much use in the Stay
mode, since I won't be able to walk anywhere in the house

3. And if I do have motion sensor, then do I even need a glass
breaking sensor?


yes


What is the best practice to properly protect the house?

I am installing system myself, but I had "consultant" from large
security monitoring company come out. While nice, she was not really
helpful other then stating get it all: glass breaking, motion, window
contacts.

sounds like she gave you real good advise.
