My nephew has almost finished my roll off roof observatory. It's a modified 10' x 14' metal garden shed.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions or have installed any sort of alarm system for an observatory?
I've thought of just installing a car/truck horn that would go off if someone managed to break open the door. (I'm having my nephew construct a stronger door behind the flimsy ones that come with the shed) That would be fine when I'm around to hear it.
I'm wondering if anyone sells an alarm system (for boats, cabins, RV's and the like)that would work at a remote site in cold weather.
I was thinking of an alarm that would transmit a message to a dedicated pager or radio receiver, as opposed to signing up to a security service, so someone off site could be alerted when nobody's home(i.e. when I'm gone on vacation).
The observatory is in the barnyard of the family farm, as opposed to a remote site in the mountains. There's generally someone on the property most of the time, so I'm mainly worried about the relatively brief periods when no one is on the farm.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
