    Well yes you can indeed get a system with just beams / pirs, but in a residential setting they are really a very basic system.
    You could get a perimeter system installed and when you change out your existing windows and doors, just get the sensors on the old ones removed and refitted on the replacement windows.

    you could get glass break sensors, look like pirs but just detect if glass is broken instead.

    Absolutely useless though if some one leaves a window or door open or indeed if a door/ window is forced open
