Neighbor just had a forced break-in we believe today...between 10 and 5. This may not be the place, but does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations for home alarm systems? I can't be here 24/7 and I am considering an alarm system.

I'm researching self-installed window alarms. I'm not interested in subscribing to an alarm company right now.
I want to buy some simple electronic devices that run on batteries, and can detect whether a window has been broken. If a window is broken, the device should emit an audible alarm...
