I should hope your system has sent you conformation that there are intruders before you need a safe limpet?

You would be better putting a PA next to safe in case you are ever frog marched to it.

The limpet really is just to chime out in case the safe is opened whilst the alarm is unset. I dont want the children playing with the safe.

 

It sits in view of a PIR when the system is set.

 

I dont really require a limpet worth mega bucks. No laws or insurance policies require me to have an alarm let alone a limpet but to coin a phrase - every little helps.

 

So if adding a self analysing vibro inside the limpet would work then I am happy to do that.

 

I am also currently building a communicator to call me and email me ( and a list of keyholders)  if an alarm is triggered - so its a loosely monitored alarm I guess.

Bit of a moot point with his phone ringing in his pocket telling him his alarms gone off...

"....... hang on a second ........ let me get that ....."

 

<<its the wife>>

 

"She says shes cleared out the safe and left me!"

You couldnt hear the phone ringing for the sounders !

be better if you said what your trying to achieve there may be better ways. But 8 quid to protect your safe you may as well save the 8 quid and bury it in the garden under a 12 quid bird bath

If you were serious about your security, I mean really serious..you'd have it on vibrate too...

Just set that zone alarm to ring other numbers and not your own surely...

So basically, what we're saying is that children can open the safe ? is that correct ?

Not at all. I didnt mean opened - perhaps I should have said "attempted" But if they were to find out how - I want to know.

Equally - a 2nd level of cover on the safe from the panel is only going to be beneficial?

£8 for a limpet with contact switch hooked into a panel with a number of outputs - I'd say thats better than the safe on its own which meets the legal standards.

 

Thanks for all the help and advice guys, its unbelievably useful to me.

My system might not be a top quality grade 3 all singing one, but its no Argos special either.

 

I'll replace the vibro in the limpet for a more modern one with a built in analyser and that will more than suit my needs and wont cost me the £120 price tag.

Perhaps to save the hassle a straightforward Viper or similar would be adequate.
