The remote speaker  56  may selectively emit the audible alarm thereby deterring an attacker. A display  58  may be coupled to the key fob  54  and the display  58  may be electrically coupled to the processor  36 . Thus, the display  58  may display  58  operational parameters of the alarm unit  24 . 
     In use, the alarm unit  24  is installed in the home  14  and the alarm unit  24  is placed in electrical communication with the home security system  12 . The alarm unit  24  actuates a speaker  26  to emit the audible alarm that corresponds to a window sensor  16  that has been tripped. Thus, the intruder hears the sound of a barking dog when the intruder breaks or opens a selected window. The alarm unit  24  actuates a speaker  26  to emit the audible alarm that corresponds to a motion sensor  18  that detects motion. Thus, the intruder hears the sound of a barking dog that follows the intruder through the home  14 . 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
