Entrance monitor

[[email protected]]

I've got a Bosch alarm system at my business that is monitored by a
local company. The keypad is a D222; control panel is a D2212B - very
basic system. When it's disarmed during working hours, monitored doors
being opened cause an alert at the control panel. Before calling them,
I'm wondering if the following is possible.

While still small, we've got quite a spread-out campus when you're the
only one here. It would be nice to have a remote receiver small enough
for a shirt pocket that would alert the same way as the control panel
when a monitored door is opened.

That way, if I'm solving a problem back in the server room and can't
hear the control panel, I'm still alerted to a customer, delivery
person, etc. entering.

For that matter, it doesn't have to be part of the Bosch. I could
install something to the primary front door myself if I knew what to
look for that had the capability of signalling a wireless remote
receiver.

Any ideas?

How far away is the server room from the delivery/front door?

Yah, you could probably call your alarmco and have them install, program a
relay and sounder...but it'd probably be easier and more usable if you used
something like this:

Just shoot the motion across any area you want to cover....inside or
outside. I like these for stores because if you contact just the door and
the weather is nice and the door is propped open...the door switch style
will not work.

He'll also need something like this.

And if it doesn't work, you'll probably act like this:

Ideally I'd like the signal to reach 40 paces (200'?) to the poured
concrete wall of another building and another 15 paces inside it.
Basically something a 900 mhz phone has trouble with even with a door
in that other building standing open.

I act like that at work just about every day. I didn't realize I was
as funny as that! Big huge HAH HAH. Gotta be a bad parent and go home
and show that to my 13YO. Thanks for the serious links and for the
<g>'s as well.

Do you have a phone system?

Do you have extensions in all the areas you are likely to be?

Does it have wireless extension capability?

Does it have programmable alarm inputs?

Sometimes there is more than one way to approach a problem. At my office
there is an intercom by the front door. The fornt door is always locked
from the outside. When somebody hits the intercom it rings the office
phones. If nobody is in the office the office the alarm is armed
(hopefully). Arming the alarm switches the intercom station from ringing
the office phones to an autodialer that calls my cell phone. I'm not saying
this is the answer for you, but as I said there is more than one solution.
The above mentioned system can also be tripped with a simple push button, or
even some other form of external switch like a normally open door contact.
