One PLUS is that we built a Garage for my Cars right behind our house. When you look out the back windows of the house you can see the Garage--the bad thing is that the driveway that goes to it is out of view!! There are garage doors on all four sides!!! Appreciate any comments/suggestions that might help..

Mark, Joe and Belair are correct, ADT or another alarm company will assess your situation and provide suggestions. We did contacts on all doors, a motion detector, glass break sensor and separate siren all wired to the house key pad. I would also put in video surveilance and motion sensitive lighting if I had your collection. Video is super cheap now and definitely a deterent. I use it on all of our branch plants were we don't have 24 hour security on staff. Good luck!

One key to remember is to insure you have multiple paths to the alarm monitor (or ADT etc.) and battery backup for all the devices. It is very easy to cut phone lines or power. If your defense/alarm system is dependant on these and they are cut, you are toast. I would also recommend a secondary system based on monitoring the cars themselves via motion detectors which uses a totally separate path. I had/have a multi channel RF system that ties into the monitor service as well as dials/pages me. Video is good if someone is watching or to identify the culprit after the fact, but by that time you can already be hosed.
