A typical scenario is monitoring a place like a room or a garage. The garage has a main garage door, a side door and the space within the room (a regular room would substitute a window for the garage door). To cover the area well, a magnetic contact will be placed on each of the areas that can open/close plus a volumetric (area) sensor in case one of the other sensors fails or someone breaks in without tripping a magnetic contact. You can always go to extremes covering an area but it only costs resources (money and processor pins) without providing much more security. }} | A typical scenario is monitoring a place like a room or a garage.
