Instead of a Intant PIR in one of your rooms, why not a tamper switch on the box where your system is installed. Tampers are inexpensive and reliable. You don't loose the access to your room and the programing is straight forward. Set all your Tamper Zones as Followers and you get almost instant notification of an alarm. Just a thought.

Interesting discussion.

Seems that an advantage of the room access control is the prevention of any unauthorized access. Of course you'd probably want to put a keypanel by that door, so it's starting to get expensive...

For the tamper switch, all of the wiring would need to be protected, right? If your 2DS is inside the cabinet, wire cutters on any wires leaving it will isolate it from the LAN before anything else. Same with any phone line, or 4 wire lines going out to the card (though they might be trickier to sort out).

In my neighbourhood anyone serious could cut the (internet/tv) cable and phone lines conveniently co-located at the side of the house. Bang down any satelite dish and it's probably safe to enter, unless the system uses a cell phone connection. Run to the panel, cut the wires (to get the siren wire) and I think that's covered everything? Except for the notice from eyezon about the disconnect, which is pretty cool.
