RE: Alarming the garage

["Mike Griffiths" <mike@xxxxxxx>]

I have alarmed my garage via Comfort
It is alarmed permanently
I then have a reed relay on the bottom of the roller door
This then bypasses the PIR
And turns on the Garage lighting and for the hell of it connects the
Phone extension through to the garage
Works for me though I am relying on the inbuilt security in the electric
doors
These can also be operated via Comfort keypads
For ease of wiring I have a slave comfort panel in the garage
I have a sensor on the side door but this just enables Comfort to tell
me the door is open if I try and alarm the house without it being closed

Hello people,

I'm after a quick bit of advice.

I have a comfort system and want to link some garage
security up to it.
The garage has 4 double glazed windows, a side door,
and a double sectional roller main door.

What would be the best way to alarm this ?
I had thought about movement sensors, but am concerned
that parking a warm car/bike in the garage may disturb
the air enough to set the pir's off.
It currently has a camera in there with a pir on it, and
this sometime detects movement for what appears to be no
reason (broughtfrom a company called cctv I think).

I have thought about disconnecting the power from the
electric door openner as added security, but if someone
got in there it wouldn't be hard to override this.

Are there any decent door contacts for roller doors ?
Any other thoughts ?


Regards,
John.
