Intermediate Studio - Permanent Flux - Inhabit Development - Motion Censor Door Bells

For my Inhabit idea to work I need some way of detecting simple movement within the room the installation is occupying. The most easy and simple way to do this is to use a motion censored door bell. This will work by cutting the wire that goes from the circuit board to the speaker in the bell and then putting a 3.5mm microphone jack on the end of it so that is can go into a standard PC. All we need processing to do then is once I have done all my experiments for image desaturation and blurring, is bring all the code together and use the Processing Sonia sound library function to detect when a sound signal is being sent from the doorbell, for it then to trigger the on screen action. So below are a few door bells I am looking at:
