Morning All, Hoping for some help please, I'm off shopping for some new bits to alarm my garage (onto the current house alarm).

As it stands I've got a Texecom Premier in house and when the garage was built I had all of the cables ran to it so that I could alarm the garage too. the only trouble I'm thinking is that in the winter when I want to drive the car straight into the garage I'd have to walk up the drive to disarm the house alarm to save a trigger. I really dont want to have the garage on a massive delay (just to give me time to park and disarm from house) as it's also give thieves the time if you know what I mean..?!

So my questions really are

1. Can the garage zone be armed / disarmed seperately - maybe with a remote blipper

2. Would you use a 360 degrees sensor or normal PIR / Door contact (it's an up and over door)

2. What would anyone really suggest in this situation ? - Apart from be less lazy !

Your help would really be appreciated, it will make me sound like I've a rough idea when I come to buying the kit.

Thanks again

1. Yes either with a keypad in the garage or with a wireless fob.

2. Depends on the layout. But i wouldnt use a normal pir in a garage. Id use a dualtec and contacts

3. id probably have a keypad in the garage

Dont know if your panel supports it, but the existing remote for your up and over could shunt out your gge circuits when activated

I use a Texecom premier iProx / iProx coil, in our detached garage at home.

Arm/Disarm by proxy token.

for that. Another one to consider. Ta
