Old Garage Alarm

[Alex161]

Appreciated but the garage is detached and 20m from the house, so I prefer seperate systems. Still looking at web sites for suitabe sensors for both door openings and siren.

Wireless zones is just what I am now looking at fraggle. Don't you read the other replies?

 

May I suggest that you don't bother to reply further to my enquiry as I find your response is more to be a 'smartie' rather than to be helpful to someone seeking advice from this forum for the first time.

Your in crack

 

Cheaper to add wireless zones to house 20m doesn't mean anything , may I suggest you read your requests lol and don't be sensitive not trying to be smarty lol

You could in such and old system add a remote if the facility or local engineer is able to do it , if it has a key switch , with a few circuits added on

Thank you for the logic. I will perhaps have to look at either paying more or adding a few sensors and alarm myself.

How draughty is the garage? You could go down the wireless route but the only come with passive infra red motion detectors, for hostile areas such as garages I would always  advise dual technology which are only available as hard wired. If you are thinking DIY why dont you buy a couple of dual technology detectors and hard wire them into the existing panel yourself? This would be far more reliable than a cheapo diy wireless bit of tat

Not in the op's budget they dont, by the time he has purchase either kit it would have been cheaper to get the pro co in. Also I know HKC would be trade only, not sure about Honeywell.

If HKC is available to the public it is certainly isnt cheap. HKC Tech support are not willing to talk to people that have seen a picture of an alarm system and think they cold get a job on the side subbying for ADT
