workshop wireless burglar alarm
My current workshop is attached to my single storie house which I have
become aware of being a fire hazard, so I'm building a new one attached to the garage - not quite so critical if that goes on fire !! The downside is that this being closer to the lane is a little more likely to get broken into. I'm looking for a single channel alarm that will transmit 30m to the house. I've found something on google but it's several channels and is ~£100. OK this is cheap as far as the lost tools would cost, but has anyone come across anything that is simple and less expensive. TIA Rob |

Just bung in another duct for LV stuff and run a few CAT5 cables through it for network, alarm and phone use. Pretty sure Maplin have simple alarm module kits. -- Cheers Dave. |

New workshop attached to already powered garage. It's just a case of adding a couple of new MCB's to the existing CU, complete with RCD and seperate TT earth, in case anyone picks me up on that !!! |
