Some scumbag broke into our shed ,pinched my beloved road bike, mtb, winter bike, wifes bike and lots of tools. Because of this I have made some lock boxes and ground anchors. I have spent a small fortune on sold secure gold rated padlocks and chains. I am doing lots of work after the horse has bolted. I greatly regret not doing more sooner, but you never think it's going to happen to you. Lesson learned . I am now trying to do as much as possible to deter, physically stop, alert if broken into and insure if scumbag wins and gets my next pride and joy, I would like your help.
1. I would like to put an alarm system in my metal shed. I have electric to the shed and would prefer a mains powered unit. The shed is dry/waterproof but it is an outbuilding and does get damp .Could you recommend a unit?
2. I have been told I would need a twin unit PIR, microwave and IR . I'm not sure if there is to much movement in the door for magnetic contacts, I'm comparing this to the contacts in my house and not sure if you can get outdoor contacts with a greater switching distance.
3. I would like to transmit the state of the shed alarm to a zone on my house alarm. The shed is 2m away from the house with the house alarm panel in the loft. So the shed can be armed when we are in the house and also set off the house alarm when we leave. How , what would you recommend for this?
4. I have a veritas r8 in the house and would like to get it to call me via phone and or text if the house alarm goes off. I could then log into our cctv and see if it's a false alarm or a break in and phone the police . Do speech diallers need a land line or can I get one with mobile pay as you go sim . Texecom do a voice and text dialler but that looks like it needs a land line and I don't have a land line in the loft where my alarm panel is.
5. Are there any restrictions to how loud I'm allowed to have the bell box in the shed, I'd prefer something to kill the intruders but I'm not allowed to do that, but are there any bell boxes that induce nausea or something that would incapacitate the intruders.
Sorry because of the number of questions,
any help would be greatly appreciated,
many thanks in advance,
Simon
