PIR alarm sensor in garage


Recommended Posts

Any one put a sensor in their garage?

I'm thinking of pulling some cable through so sparks can add a new sensor in there. Possibly have it programmed to a different circuit so can be set at night?

 

With the temperature differences and draughts  in a garage does this cause false alarms or don't these detectors work like that?

Standard corner PIR, same as in the house. No false alarms, approx 25 to 30m cable length through underground duct.

I would recommend pulling some spare cables - e.g. ethernet and electric (32A) for future proofing.

I used a Texecom Elite panel and each sensor is, in effect, a different circuit. You can then programme behaviour for each circuit e.g. when to set it, what type it is etc. I even used this capability to wire up my front door bell as a "sensor", so when pressed it chimes through the internal sounders. Not a pretty musical chime but it works well.

I have. Mines a visonic wireless system. Sensor is in the detached brick garage a good 8m  from the control box and works very well. 

 

Those Visonic Quad PIR sensors are pretty good. Never had a false trigger with ours. Turn off the LED using the link inside to improve battery life.
