Protecting my garage

[coopersim]

Hi,

I have a scantronic 9751 covering the house, but would like to protect my garage, three windows, two doors. I currently have a bellbox that appears wired to a small white box, but there's no sensors, how could I go about extending the system, and what's the best sensors? Door contacts, pirs, window shock sensors?

Dual tec pir and contact on door .

Thanks!

Is it easy to set this up remotely? The garage is some way from the house and I've no idea if the bell box is a dummy with led or full blown!

It may have a zone expander fitted Post picture of box.

Ah! I also have no working lights... Will post one up later this week, thanks for the reply

slightly off topic. I have my garage doors (vehicle and personal) set so the house alarm chimes (bleeps) when they are opened, as from the house I would not see someone going in.

This bleeps even when the alarm is not set. e.g. when we are at home during the day.

I did once catch someone in the garage when I had left it unlocked after working down there and come into the house for tea

Looks like a junction box

If that is the only thing connected to the "bellbox" then I strongly suspect it is a dummy box.

Thanks for the replies. I'll look into the wireless extender option.

I've been looking for a wireless expander but the price is prohibitive. Could I lay a wire from the house around ten metres away? The overall cable length would be in the region of 30 metres.

Have you looked on ebay ?

Yeah, there don't seem to be any!
