Looking for Compatible Burglar Alarm

Hello, I am new to the whole Victron ecosystem and I have been losing my mind trying to find concrete information on this.

I am trying to set up a Cerbo GX so that it will give some kind of alert when there is motion detected inside an RV, but I don't know how to find a compatible motion detector.

Does anyone know what kinds of motion detectors would work in this situation, especially if they are wireless?

A motion detector that has a volt free output contact could be connected to one of the digital inputs on the Cerbo GX and is able to be set as a burglar alarm in the Cerbo GX. Not sure about wireless. I found this which might work even though it is sold for switching lights and is UK as an example of what to look for, it has a volt free contact and would work from an RVs DC power.

Thank you for the answer! I see they have a US store, but that one pretty expensive. I don't find anything else when I search 'volt-free' except from that same site. What exactly does volt-free mean, and are there any different names for it?
