Secware Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hello there, Could you, please, help me finding which of your system would be most suitable for my needs? I am looking for alarm system for the house and 2 wooden bike sheds 7 meters from the house. The system for house can be wired, the system for sheds must be wireless. The house system will need 5 PIRs, one of them should tolerate a tortoise (25cm, 2 kg, in a heated enclosure in the hall), 2 door contacts, 2 sensors for windows (breaking glass or vibration?). There are both, a land line and GSM cover, in the house. The system for the sheds should probably have 1 door contact and 1 PIR for each shed, PIRs could maybe replaced by vibration sensors attached directly to the bikes. There may be higher range of temperatures in the sheds (-20 / +40) and certainly higher humidity. The sensors don?t need to work in extreme temperature but must survive short term extremes to work within range -10 / +30. Both systems may be integrated in 1 if there is an option of arming only one but I wouldn?t mind having 2 different systems in case you think there is a reason for that. I really need to prevent false alarms. Therefore I thought a system that would get triggered only after activation of 2 sensors (either 2 or certain couples?) would be much better. I was thinking of self-monitored system to save expenses but I wouldn?t mind centrally monitored if some of the features (especially preventing false alarms) could be provided only with monitored system. Thank you very much for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secware_Tech6 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 you want a hybrid control panel. Something like the honeywell galaxy g2 wireless kit. http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/honeywell-galaxy-220-wireless-starter-kit-p-1632.html this will accept up to 20 devices in total and upto 12 of the 20 may be wired. I would recommend a pet sensor for the tortise but a standard sensor would probably be ok due to the slow speed. Pet sensor http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/honeywell-activ8-pir-single-channel-18m-quad-element-pet-pir-p-2057.html Im concerned about using pirs in the sheds. It is inside spec the temp range but id more concerned with spiders and draughts etc. Honeywell make a wireless Dualtec that would IMO be better suited to this. http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/honeywell-wireless-dualtec-15m-x-18m-p-2162.html While you 'could' mount vibration detectors to the bikes them selves i wouldnt recommend it. They need to be well fixed to the surface they are protecting, but you cant fix them permanently and remove the sensors from the system coverage as that will cause supervision faults.
