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

"Workshop" implies power, if only for light, so no doubt you will be
diging a trench for that. 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.

Depends how often you need a new cartridge...

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 !!!
