Hi

is there any reason why not to mount alarm keypad in front porch of house
outside of entry/exit door

Just thinking it would be better to arm/ disarm before entering protected zone via keypad/keyprox

Thanks

Anyone standing there when you enter will see your code, much better to go in to a private area and ask people to wait till the alarm is off. Besides which how will you set it at night, you will have to go into the porch in your jim-jams to turn off in the morning
 
The obvious reason not to is that by putting the keypad outside the protected area you increase the chance of someone being able to tamper with it undetected.
 
yes
the obvious would be tamper , but obviusly if tampered with alarm would sound therefore doing its job......
To expand on this i was thinking of fitting a secondary kepad in bedroom as well for part arming , and people wouldnt see codes being entered on main rkp because authorised people would have proxy tags.
Just puttin it out there to see if it was a definite no no for rkp in porch location..
