For sure, always...but I'm one of those paranoid foal watch people with a significant distrust of technology who doze off for a half hour or an hour, wake up with a start & get up & go out with my trust torch to have a look anyway. Ours is a Magic Breed Alarm. It works of course. Never given me any reason to think otherwise. I just can't help myself, mostly because if something happened and I could have fixed it but wasn't there I would never forgive myself. Hopeless, I know.
