ᐅ Implement an indoor alarm system using motion detectors.

Hello,
I am planning to install a wired intrusion alarm system inside our new two-story single-family house. The system will use motion detectors. I do not want to monitor the windows with contact sensors, although there are about 20 windows on the ground floor that would need monitoring. However, I only want to install the system on the ground floor.
The control panel will be installed near the door in the basement. On the upper floor, I will need an additional unit to arm and disarm the alarm, for example, if someone wants to access the refrigerator.
I have not been able to find such a device from common light switch manufacturers.
Does anyone have recommendations for an alarm system manufacturer or general advice on installing alarm systems?
Thank you very much for your support.
Best regards

But I don’t understand which advantages of wired systems it is supposed to offer. In principle, the alarm company that installed everything at our commercial facility generally advised against wireless systems. Hence my question.

Personally, I am not a fan of wireless alarm systems or wireless surveillance cameras.
The main question with these systems is always how easy it is to interfere with them. From what I keep hearing and reading, such systems can apparently be disabled quite easily.
If you are unlucky, there might be a nearby radio operator or a device emitting interference signals, which can cause problems.
That is why I can understand the company’s advice against using these systems.
What happens if a sensor is installed in the basement but does not have a proper wireless connection to the control panel?
It should also be considered that batteries are installed in these sensors. Then the question is how long they will last. Do you need to replace them after 6 months or only after 6 years?
Either way, that would be too much hassle for me.
As you can see, I would prefer to run cables to the sensors. If you do it yourself, in the end the wiring might even be cheaper than buying all the batteries you would need.
