Hello,
I am in the process of finishing out my garage/workshop. Still have open studs. I have pre-wired doors/windows,garage door sensor/opener etc. for security sys. I have all of this roughed in along w/phone, cctv,RG6 for sat.etc. in a "wiring" closet. This is located approx 75' away from my house and will be on separate utilities. I am considering installing an Ademco or Caddx sys in the workshop. My only "security" system in my house is a couple of cameras modulated to a tv channel. I would like to eventually hardwire my house (will obviously take some time) and install security/home automation devices. I plan to install a pvc conduit from the house to workshop. Should I install a large enough sys @ the workshop for the house also? Or maybe run everything to a "wiring closet" at the house? Bottom line is : do I need 2 security systems? can 1 be "master" and other "slaved"? It would be nice to monitor both @ house. Suggestions?
Thanks!
