Both of their school-age children and all their regular service people have been issued special pass codes that unlock the doors, as the computer records to the minute everybody's comings and goings. Even the Arvays' two-year-old niece Jennifer is served by the system. Whenever she toddles too close to the pool, a motion detector sets off an alarm that can be heard throughout the house...
