if the building is open to the elements, wired external beams,

 

which probably means your ebay stuff needs relocating to a skip

 

you also should be looking to contact all the doors

 

any wiring needs to be protected for the birds

We use Optex for beams.

pic of the alarm panel, it has 8 wired zones, 

 

just a question about beams, i have around a 1-2ft section of void across majority of the roof, the cages are below, the metal roof is above, if i am using beams which are say 20cm high, am i right in thinking the beams will travel  within that 20cm height, if the beams had say a 50cm height, then the beam would travel through a cage and will get triggered, i could do with some clarity on this please.

Optex or Takex for beams.

You will need a proper alarm system to connect it too.

As with a lot of electronic products on ebay, buy cheap buy twice.

I would suggest you give a few local companies a call to see if you can get a good quote for a fitted system.

an active beam is a point to point device so needs very little room. think of a James bond stylee laser beam, break the beam and the receiver activates

All about budget now, I am sure everyone appreciates you may not be able to get something good installed , but you will go in circles

 

I am sure the birds cost a bit and better you save up , do it once so you don't have to mess around

 

Have you got a budget ? £1200?

Can the pet get within six foot of the detector, I guess so its a bird.

Your not funny, I am selective with my imports, I dont import anything thats likely to spontaneously com-bust.
