For this reason customers choose wireless motion sensors.

Other difficult places to get to are garages or rooms where cabling would be difficult to get to.

Wireless motion detectors are dependent on battery power, you will need to check them fairly regularly to ensure they are still running to specification. Your alarm system will send notification for a low detector battery every 2-3 years.
