In the middle 80's with a very old alarm panel and TTS I connected one speaker outside. The panel had two audio zones. It worked out for a bit.
One week during the summer while out of town my neighbor called me to let me know (great friend and neighbor) he had disconnected (cut) my speaker which at the time was on the detached garage. His master BR windows faced my driveway and garage and he had been sleeping with his windows open.
I believe all that was triggering the speech was a photo senor across the driveway. Lighting sometimes would trigger false alarms. Decided not to use outdoor TTS anymore in the old home more out of concern relating to my neigbors.
