1186918 2011-03-17 08:40:00 Situation:
Someone has a small shop and has had a few unsuccessful forced entries. Due to past events the front of the building now has a roller door. There is 2 small windows on the side with the shrubs of grass. The other (main) side is just a brick wall. The back has a reinforced door and a window.

Installation does not need to be tidy as it's a shop with painted and stainless walls. Wires don't need to be hidden.

Requirement:
They don't want an alarm system. Just wondering what options are available? They seem to be happy with maybe door and window sensors connected to a unit with a siren.

I also saw some the DSE brochure, how are these like?
www.dse.co.nz

Is it possible for a device to differentiate between wind or a physical push (on the door)?

They don't want an alarm, but they'd be happy with.. an alarm? -_^

Ok, not a full blown setup alarm system then ...
Maybe there are some battery operate devices? Or that DSE device I pointed out.

Give that man a huge :clap damn good idea - our dog goes nuts if anyone even comes on the property - and If the front door is open just enough for me to stand in, and the dogs growing trying to get out - the "Door Knockers" think twice :D.

She spots couriers and starts growing even before the van pull up outside.

Seriously though - if you want security - fake stuff is useless - a simple alarm would soon be discovered and mean nothing if there were no responce when activated. May scare them off the first time, but they would be back.

1186924 2011-03-17 09:53:00 Best security system is a large, mean dog, coupled with a shotgun, apply dog to the rear of the offender, shotgun is then to be fired up into the air while nearby to the offender.

Then follow the brown trail.

1186925 2011-03-17 12:30:00 Most sensors are PIR and the area they cover are at certain distance and span.
So having it so the zone that activates the alarm covers say a foot from the door or window is quite a painless process to set up.

Other considerations are having a delay on certain sensors so when the owner enters he has a delay period to turn the alarm off which Im sure is pretty standard.

Some you can get can dail straight to your pc/mac or phone, matter of budget but shop around and get to know different types and functions.
