Not unique - I think it's more of a female versus male thing. I play golf for fun. And it's an excuse to buy cute golf outfits.

it even has infrared for night time monitoring.
If you want to record the activity, drop cam offers cloud based video recording for a monthly fee.

What happens if the crook first turns off all power to the house?

I did that recently. It was night time so I went and grabbed a Maglite, stood on my sidewalk and flashed him in the face until I saw some results. He got out and walked into the house four doors down. He was my neighbor. Oopsies. (Door to door is further here than it is to most Irvineites. That's why I didn't recognize him.)

Seems to be made here in the US but I'll have to check.

A basic security system I got for around $150 prior to Christmas. Skip the included manual and go straight to their website for instructions:
http://www.fortresssecuritystore.com/index.php/so2-alarm-system/
The videos on their webpage are helpful. Seems to be made here in the US but I'll have to check. Comes with two motion sensors, 10 door/windor sensors, and two sirens. It also calls out to assigned phone numbers when alarm is triggered. No monitoring fee. Sensors are wireless, so just need to be double side taped or drywalled to specified area. When alarm is triggered, it will send out a pre-recorded message to the assigned numbers: So if you put IrvinePD's number, the recording should scream "Help! Send po-po to xxx now!" or something similar. And yes, if someone cuts the power to my house, it has a back up battery (not sure how long, emailing them now).

Most homes only have a screw holding the cover closed. If you can go with a cellular dialer, that is even better.

this is why i like cellular based alarms vs land line/cable based alarms.

And battery backups?
