Alarm Systems for flips in progress

Developer I know got wiped out of appliances and heating units in a high end new home in a good neighborhood earlier this year.  House was not alarmed. Thiefs broke a window and cleaned it out.

Looking for alarm recommendations that are "portable" from house to house.  Appreciate any input.  Something that is high end enough that it works...

Try simplisafe.com - I am not affiliated with them nor have I used them yet.  You can buy a customizable system that is completely wireless and have it monitored through a cellular signal that is built in for just $15/ month with no contract! I have looked into them a little bit, and heard their adds on the radio. You install the wireless components yourself and can move them from house to house. It seems like a great solution to me. Fortunately I have been investing in areas recently where I haven't had any theft problems, but I have had lots of tools and appliances stolen and that is why I looked into it a while back. I wonder if anyone has used them on BP and what there experience has been?
