I have no real info on your system. Since most of my search results come up in French, I'll assume that this is not North America.
Assuming that this is a standard, hardwired, 12volt, security system, it can be done. Bear in mind, that placing a motion outdoors can generate a lot of false alarms. They are best used for overlooking a restricted area, like a pool enclosure.

Optex (http://www.optexamerica.com/productlist.aspx?l1=2) makes a number of very good outdoor rated motions.
Rokonet is another major brand with several outdoor models:
