I was just getting ready to post this! They have great products. The 
sensors available are widespread... heat, cold, noise, motion, water, 
electric.... You program it to call a list of numbers... until one of 
those folks calls it back, it keeps trying. You can listen to the room 
from the phone. Really neat system and not a huge amount of money. 
Basically, it is a burglar system as well... can detect intrusions.
