Just sold a bike and had a few people around and haven't got a security alarm in the garage.The bikes are chained down but think I ought to have an audible warning too. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced wireless garage alarm?

An alsation?

Having spoken with many a burglar in my time, not one of them fancied taking on a land shark.
First thing that came to my mind too. . . .
I've already got an 11 and 1/2 stone Rottie/Mastiff X. I wouldn't chuck him out in the garage though and dogs aren't a cheap burglar deterrent by any stretch of the imagination.The car's parked tight against the door at night.
Think I'll look at the Xena stuff as mentioned by SVS,and stick a couple of internal bolts in the bottom corners.
Thanks All.

If youve got power in the garage what about baby monitors plug it in and have to other one indoors, you should be able to hear if theres anything going on in there and even tell the s to get the fk out
How about if I'm at work? Probably better to have an alarm of some kind, just enough to startle any one doing something they shouldn't be doing. The garage is attached to the house,theres a car parked in front of the garage overnight and its a good area surrounded by other houses in close proximity so someone would have to make some noise to get in, in the first place.The chances of someone getting in is fairly slim,but an alarm that would make some noise would be sufficient I would of thought.
