Optex - can someone help?

[Phil Winfield]

Hello,
I am looking to buy an optex quad beam photo device to protect my driveway. We have already got a burglar alarm - so I want a simple device which can communicate with the light beams to alert me if anyone is approaching our driveway without disturbing the normal burglar alarm (mainly for protecting our vehicles) Can anyone suggest what wi-fi adapters etc I need to carry out this project, and how to wire it? Thanks in advance, Optex will not communicate with me unless I am a business operator.

You will still need to get a wire for power to the optex beam for power unless you use a wireless version ( very expensive ) may be better to run a cable direct to the beams ... further info would be needed for any other options

You can apparently get wireless optex sensors that can connect with enforcer and powermax panels....see below...Ive not fitted myself

I know the optex is top drawer....personally I like the Dakota products....they are cheap have really O/p's which can configure into any wired system...and dakota sensors are wireless

You can also get a ricochet device .....but still...expensive
