There is no panel in basement just all the hardwired connections from windows amd doors. How can I direct wire this panel and not use power outlet
It depends entirely on how the switch is wired. You should discuss with an electrician to make this determination.

This can be done few different ways. Looks like your house is prewired so thisakes things easier. If you are moving to new home just schedule appointment and have a security technician to do this. It's a fairly easy task when house is prewired.
