Hello, Could anyone help please, Last week our un-manned warehouse was broken into and a large amount of goods stolen. We later retrieved 99% of the stolen goods back, luckily.

At the moment the warehouse is un-alarmed, my boss has asked me to put together a security system and install along with the help of our site electricians. What i need is advice...It is a large warehouse 'L' shaped, would you recommend wireless or a fixed alarm? I also wanted a covert alarm, by this I mean that if someone entered the warehouse instead of an alarm sounding it would trigger and dial a GSM autodialer using the mobile phone networks and send messages or play a message. What is the best PIR's to use and what is the max detection distance of a pir?. Lastly our budget is not great just about £1000. Does anyone have any recommendations or websites..Thank you in advance

Are you serious, large amount of goods, and you have £1000 to protect them?

My advice, get in a security company to properly asses your building and take a system on a lease.

To do what you want isnt as simple as whats the best sensors to fit, its a lot more complicated than that. You really need a proffesional company in to do this for you.

Its nigh impossible to tell you what you need or advise you correctly without seeing the situation.

CLICK HERE? for a list of installers who frequent this forum, they are listed in police areas, there should be one near you.

For £1000 you should be able to get a good system from one of us, if you put your location on here I'm sure someone will give you a free quote and leave the sparkies well alone would be my advice!!!

With the new regulations that came in on 1st October it sounds like you might require a Grade 3 system if this is the case then its a specialist job which can only be done by approved companies.

Thanks for all your replies, time to chat with the boss!
