Re: Alarm Panel For Detached Garage

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I dunno much about the DSC stuff.

But if you had a system in the main house that was partionable you could set
up the house as partition 1 and the garage as partition 2. A partition has
the ability to act as a totally separate alarm system but using one panel.

Yes you can do stuff like you want with the garage door too, but it gets a
little tricky. I usually give the ohd a longer delay than the door into the
house..but in your case you could give the mandoor a shorter delay time than
the ohd. You'd probably still need a keypad in the garage (I hate keyfobs as
the sole control) but you could certainly rig them up as well.

There was another similar thread on this within the past few weeks.

| Hi,
|
| I am looking for a security system for my detached unheated Chicago
| garage.  I would like a system that has a key fob where a push of the
| button will disarm the system AND operate the garage door.  Another
| button on the fob would disarm the system only.  I would like the
| system to automatically arm several minutes after all the doors are
| closed and no motion is detected.  This would allow the garage to be
| protected when people come & go without having to use the keypad or
| press any additional buttons over the present system (garage door
| opener only)
|
| The system will have a siren and 3 zones:  an entry door, garage door,
| and motion detector.  The garage system will not connected to a phone
| line.
|
| I would also like the garage system to have an output that would be
| connected to the main house alarm panel so that when the garage system
| is in an alarm state it would violate a zone called garage on the main
| house alarm.  I plan to use an EOL resistor in the garage panel in case
| the wire is cut.  The main house alarm is monitored.
|
| The system would function as follows:
|
| If the garage alarm goes off when I'm home (house is disarmed),  only
| the garage siren will go off.  If the garage alarm goes off when I'm
| away (house is armed),  the house alarm garage zone will cause an
| alarm, call the monitoring company, and report a garage zone violation.
| If the garage alarm goes off when I'm asleep (housed armed in stay
| mode), the house alarm goes off,  I run to the keypad and see that the
| violation is in the garage.  I can relax a bit knowing the intruder is
| not in the house.
|
| Are there any alarm panels these features?  My main house system is DSC
| 5100, but I could go with another brand for the garage.  I would also
| appreciate any other suggestions for setting up this system.
|
| Thanks so much!  bjordan
