Recording cameras are probably better. And a real good homeowners insurance policy. Motion sensors that turn on lights is good also.

All view TV and hear stories about random vandalism/theives. Alton, in newspapers has had a rash of home thefts - no they didn't actually steal the house - break ins.
Good thoughts, the best security countermeasures often are those that make your neighbor's place more attractive to a potential burglar

To the OP, motions do go bad as BRK noted, replace them. The controller can last 25 years, but you may want more features available on newer systems.
