Sorry for Yet another New Alarm Thread!
I'm looking for a wired alarm system to cover a bungalow, attached garage, and 3 distant sheds.
I want one, centralised control panel to cover all sensors. Getting wires to the sheds is a long term plan, but not currently possible.
Part of the bungalow is a largish ( 10m x 3m) mostly single glazed (some double glazed) & roofed old conservatory with large windows & doors, that I want to protect as well, but nervous of PIR in that area, so thinking a microphone based glass breakage sensor maybe?
I'd picked up 2 x HSA6200 wireless systems (£40 each on clearance) on the spur of the moment, but having had a look at the RF interference in the area with a spectrum analyser, can see that there is a lot of stuff already in the 433Mhz frequency, but the 868MHz is a lot clearer, so thinking wired for main and wireless at 868 for distant stuff.
I'm therefore looking for a Wired, Telecommuting alarm which can also support circa 4 wireless sensors. If I can piggy back a relay into the control panel box so that I can co-locate a Raspberry Pi/arduino to IOT any alarm signals activations, that would be greatly appreciated as well. Then I could add 2 way audio solution & camera activation via a custom DIY solution later.
Looking at DIY installation, purchase budget of £200 if possible for the main control panel, siren, and 4 PIR/4 Contact, then adding other stuff. I'm aware that this might be a big ask.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
