Own garage is not always a guarantee that the car will remain intact. Even if the security is centralized, often hijackers manage to cope with an obstacle and commit a crime with impunity, breaking the door or even the wall. In addition, a fire may occur, gas may accumulate, groundwater may rise, and so on. In the fight against car damage and car thieves, an alarm for the garage comes in.
Offline mode
Such alarms are powered by batteries. Their advantage is versatility. It often happens that garages do not have electricity. But an autonomous alarm for the garage will work perfectly there. Consider several models.
Alarm Express is a very affordable GSM product. Configuring and using it is simple, but the device does not have additional features. In order to install or disarm, you need a key fob. But the batteries last for six months. At the same time, if you purchase an updated version of Express-2, then the wireless system with sound and light will additionally work.
Alarm for the garage "Cottage 01" is also simple and easy to manage. It is capable of operating at temperatures from minus twenty to plus sixty degrees, therefore it is suitable for many Russian regions. The device has a microphone and a temperature sensor, and in the new modification of the “Dacha 02” alarm system, you can also connect wireless security sensors, use a two-twenty-volt power adapter and set the lower temperature for monitoring.
Connected to the network
The security alarm for a garage with electric power has a wider functionality compared to the previous type of models. Almost all devices of this type have a built-in microphone and a radio module with sensors without wires. In addition, the alarm provides a battery with which it can work for several hours in the event of a power outage. Usually they also provide alerts via SMS.
Such an alarm for the garage has a motion sensor, remote controls for installing and removing from the alarm. Some devices also have a sound and light siren.
The most advanced models have a video camera and take photos for owners by sending them via MMS-messages to the phone.
Consider several models that are connected to electrical power.
Sansan and Erithea
Sansan Pro 4 has everything you need in the installation kit. The central unit contains a relay - GSM, which is controlled via a telephone. There is also a microphone and speaker for mutual communication, a motion sensor, opening a window or door, a siren and a remote control. The device works at temperatures up to minus twenty degrees and has a Russian menu.
Another model, Sansan GSM MMS, is an optimal alarm system for a garage, because thanks to it, the owner gets visual contact with the room. In this case, photos will be sent to him by phone and e-mail. At the same time, the device is able to work even in complete darkness, since an infrared emitter is built into it for this. The alarm involves two-way communication with the room, and if the power turns off, it will work offline for up to half a day. In addition to all its capabilities, it has another advantage: the ability to work at temperatures up to minus thirty degrees.
Another interesting domestic model is a GSM-alarm for the garage "Erithea Mira 2". Due to its simple functionality, it is very cheap, but the kit does not differ in a large number of parts. There is only the main unit and adapter. All necessary is bought separately. This will be very convenient if the owner of the garage is going to use an infrared sensor. Then a number of unnecessary components will not be included.
It will also seem interesting and economical to arm and disarm the phone from the phone at no additional cost, voice-activated Russian menu, built-in relay and the ability to install a temperature sensor. The alarm will be able to work at temperatures up to minus thirty-five degrees.
External sensors
The GSM alarm system for the garage can also be equipped with additional features by connecting wired and wireless external sensors. A vibration sensor can be useful, and when the garage is located on the second floor, a motion sensor. Smoke, magnetic, water and gas level sensors may also be of interest.
Other equipment
In addition to alarms, other security equipment is often installed in the garage.
For example, a GSM relay is common, through which various electrical appliances can be connected via a cell phone. In addition, the device provides the function of ventilation, lighting, opening the gate and so on.
The Revizor Q5 is also very popular - a compact video camera that can be installed in hidden form. A motion sensor is built into it, which records automatically. It is possible to work both offline and from the network.
Often use alarms without GSM, for example, FE Security 2.0, which consists of two sensors and a siren. Such a device is convenient for the guard of a large garage.
Particularly gifted craftsmen use the alarm system for the garage with their own hands, not just installed, but also made from beginning to end.
Battery Power
Sometimes, in order for the alarm to work properly, it will be useful to bring the twelve-voltage voltage (this is what is provided on most models) to the battery from the car. As such, even a battery that has already served its purpose on a machine is suitable.
Recommendations
- If the boxes are under central security, you need to know the phones of the guards, so that if necessary, you can contact them with a request to check your car if an alarm message is received.
- In the presence of a central fire alarm, the installation of some sensors, for example, smoke, loses its relevance.
- If the GSM level in the garage is insufficient, then use a special device to amplify the signal.
- If you need to respond to an alarm and in general for monitoring, you can think about installing a remote alarm.
- For wireless video surveillance to work, you need to install 3G or Wi-Fi.
- If you have any difficulties, you can always contact a specialist who sets the alarm for the cottage and the garage.
