Changing from hardwired to wireless question. Are they both equal in protection? Any suggestions for a [b]small [/b]system (3BR ground floor condo), combining entry sensors, glass breakage, motion sensors, panic button, and siren/horn, that can be self installed? Don't know if a specific system can be mentioned, but a comment on Simplsafe would be appreciated.

The alarm of my Safewatch 3000 was triggered 2 am this morning because of an hydro failure. I was not able to get off my bed in time to reset it. So I was the bad guy in the neighborhood. The Safewatch 3000 was already in the house when I moved in. I was under the impression that when power fail it should just used battery power and perhaps trigger the alarm until a low battery condition. Is the current setup of my Safewatch 3000 normal (i.e. trigger alarm when NO AC) ? Can it be reprogram to do like I what I expect (trigger alarm only when NO AC and battery low ) ? or any suggestion on what should be the best setting for NO AC ?
