Hi my main door is a self contained on street upvc one which is half glass, this opens to an internal stair up to my flat. So I was going with a surface mount contact on the door and a pir at the top of the stairs pointing down to the door for the glass cover. Now thinking about a combined shock and contact sensor (Texecom Impaq SC Wired Shock Sensor & Contact in White with VIBER Accelerometer Technology) and do away with the pir.
opinions please ?
Thanks

sorry for yet another question hopefully the last

Is this the main entry door ?
If someone knocks on the door could set off the alarm,go back to pir option.

Unfortunately as pointed out a shock sensor on the main door which people knock at its not such a good idea.

although the sensitivity can be adjusted.
