Hey-oo!
Does anybody have significant experience with (building or otherwise)
hown-grown home security systems? It seems that motion detectors with an
alert connection to a security firm (or at least to your cell phone) might
be one way I heard of. Anybody care to share their knowledge, either via
the list or in-person?

You might wanna poke around http://www.hometech.com/ for quasi-DIY
or reverse-engineerable ideas (or swing by if you're in Cupertino).
I've gone thru them when I had to implement more turnkey solutions, but
they're a useful resource for this stuff

i made a device using an Electric Imp that would send
a text message via a
trial Twilio account when a button is pressed - you could do the same thing
except with a PIR sensor instead of a button. probably would want to hook
up a camera or video if there will be small mammals moving around and
triggering the PIR sensor under normal operation. if you go that way I'll
be glad to share the code.
cheers,

Yo's-
Al Lasher's Electronics (University Ave, Berkeley) has everything needed
for DIY security systems: control panels, sensors, etc., and how-to
books for wiring it up, and expertise to help design it. Lasher's is an
oldschool electronics shop that's been around since forever-ago, has all
kinds of obscure goodies for hacker/maker projects, and has staff who
know their stuff in depth.
Most security firms will insist on using their own hardware due to
potential liability issues if they allowed interconnect to DIY systems.
So one possibly useful approach is to hire e.g. Bay Alarm for the basics
for working with their notification/security monitoring, and then build
an entirely separate DIY system for enhancements that are particular to
SR constituency.
