Ask your QuestionIs it reasonably easy to have a modern security alarm fitted to a garden shed? As in, would it be just as feasible and affordable to have a modern alarm installed for my shed as it would be for my actual house?
Asked by jonathan on 30th May 2022"If you already have a modern alarm system in the home then why not have the shed as a zone within that system?
Most modern security systems now incorporate the use of an app which will allow you to arm and disarm the system from just about anywhere."
"Hi, yes you can link the two together if you wish to save purchasing two separate alarms, the house alarm would need to be wireless or hybrid, then simply add a wireless device to the shed assuming it is in range, also if it is a metal shed you may need to go down a slightly different route."

It’ll be cheaper than a house install as it’s an easier cleaner installation."
"Yes it’s easier enough mate will require power tho"
