This might not be the place for this but I feel like someone here should know.

I moved into a new house recently and there's a whole security system, infrared scanners, alarms on all the doors and windows, glass break detectors everywhere. When we open a door or window there's a little chirp so something is working, but I'm curious if anyone knows if I can rewire this somehow or get a new panel so that I can actually set an alarm and stuff.

Yours looks very similar to the one I have at work and I have to set it into alarm mode when I close up for the night and then clear the alarm in the morning.

It’ll set off a loud siren if it gets tripped.
