    Attempted burglary and mail theft at homes on my street - is this camera enough?

    @hmjgriffon Hello, do I need just this Z-Wave Plus® Door/Window Sensor, NO LOGO - Monoprice.com Or do I need other hardware? I presume I will need some sort of alerting device, if the z-wave trigger is signaled? I know nothing about Z Wave Thank you TPW
